Global change is characterized by increased CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere,
increasing average temperature and more frequent extreme events including drought …

Climate models predict more frequent and more severe extreme events (eg, heat waves,
extended drought periods, flooding) in many regions for the next decades. The impact of …

Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins, a group of hydrophilic proteins, have been
linked to survival in plants and animals in periods of stress, putatively through safeguarding …

Background Drought stress is one of the most adverse environmental constraints to plant
growth and productivity. Comparative proteomics of drought-tolerant and sensitive wheat …

Although considerable evidence has accumulated on the defensive activity of plant volatile
organic compounds against pathogens and insect herbivores, less is known about the …

Abiotic stress has a significant impact on plant growth and development. It causes changes
in the subcellular organelles, which, due to their stress sensitivity, can be affected. Cellular …

Trifolium repens belongs to the family Leguminosae and has been used for therapeutic
purposes as traditional medicine. The plant is widely used as fodder and leafy vegetables …

The seedling stage is a critical period for survival under drought stress. To identify
biochemical and molecular drought response changes, oil palm seedlings were exposed to …

Selection and breeding of genotypes with improved drought/heat tolerance become key
issues in the course of global change with predicted increased frequency of droughts or heat …

Dehydrin is a type of late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) protein. The dehydrin genes,
HbDHN1 and HbDHN2, in Hevea brasiliensis were previously found to be induced at the …
