The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

Plants are extensively well-thought-out as the main source for nourishing natural life on
earth. In the natural environment, plants have to face several stresses, mainly heat stress …

There will be longer and more intense periods of heat and drought stress in the future for

Plants are vulnerable to many environmental constraints which include drought, salinity,
extreme temperatures, heavy metals, etc., thereby posing damage to the development and …

Rising global temperatures due to climate change are affecting crop performance in several
regions of the world. High temperatures affect plants at various organizational levels …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the main cereals grown around the world. It is used for human

In this study, the role of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs, 10 mg· L− 1) has been investigated
in modulating the negative effects of drought and heat stresses on eight bread wheat …

Drought and heat stress are two dominant abiotic stress factors that often occur
simultaneously in nature causing oxidative damage in plants and thus decline in yield. The …

Maize crops are exposed to a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses, which induce the
disruption of plant metabolism and affect crop yield and quality. An increase in drought or …

Environmental stress is one of the most important factors affecting plant growth and
development. Recent studies have shown that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA …
