Increasing vulnerability of plants to a variety of stresses such as drought, salt and extreme
temperatures poses a global threat to sustained growth and productivity of major crops. Of …

Saline environment cues distort the plant growth, development and crop yield. Epigenetics
has emerged as one of the prime themes in plant functional genomics for molecular-stress …

Several biotic and abiotic stresses affect plant growth, development and crop productivity. To
cope up all these stresses, plant develops certain efficient strategies to avoid or tolerate the …

The ecological stresses result in plant growth and lead to defects in plant yield and biomass
production. Increase in global population and desertification further accelerate this process …

Background Low temperature is a crucial stress factor of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and
adversely impacts on plant growth and grain yield. Multi-million tons of grain production are …

Drought is one of the major abiotic constraints on wheat yields and also for sustainability of
production levels around the world. In the near future, the occurrence likelihood of droughts …

Abstract Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.), native to China, is an important deciduous
fruit tree. This species is mainly propagated by grafting, with Z. jujuba var. spinosa widely …

Biotechnology with the use of genetic engineering tools constitutes different applications in
improving crop plants including commercial flower crops and several other ornamental …

Olive trees are known for their capacity to adapt to drought through several phenotypic and
molecular variations, although this can vary according to the different provenances of the …

Abstract Cultivated tomato Solanum lycopersicum (Slyc) is sensitive to water shortages,
while its wild relative Solanum peruvianum L.(Sper), an herbaceous perennial small shrub …
