In field conditions, plants are often simultaneously exposed to multiple biotic and abiotic
stresses resulting in substantial yield loss. Plants have evolved various physiological and …

Abiotic environmental stresses negatively impact crop productivity and are major constraints
to global food security. As a consequence of global change, certain stress factors such as …

Abstract Background Hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a globally important crop. Heat,
drought and their combination dramatically reduce wheat yield and quality, but the …

The genus Triticum includes bread (Triticum aestivum) and durum wheat (Triticum durum)
and constitutes a major source for human food consumption. Drought is currently the leading …

Plant can acquire tolerance to environmental stresses via transcriptome reprogramming at
transcriptional and alternative splicing (AS) levels. However, how AS coordinates with …

Global warming is an environmental problem that cannot be ignored. High temperatures
seriously affect the normal growth and development of plants, and threaten the development …

In the wake of shrinking arable land and widespread changes in climate, global agriculture
is threatened. Global losses in agricultural production due to abiotic stresses are estimated …

Temperature, water and fertilizer have complex and interacting effects on wheat grain
development, yield and flour quality. Transcript and protein profiling studies have provided …

Highlights•Drought and heat stress can occur together due to reduced transpirational
cooling.•Molecular reactions to combined stress cannot be predicted from single …

Controlled protein degradation and activation of proenzymes is required for the growth and
development of plants and for them to survive abiotic and biotic stresses. Uncontrolled …
