In many regions of the world, the incidence and extent of drought spells are predicted to
increase which will create considerable pressure on global agricultural yields. Most likely …

Drought stress is a serious limiting factor to rice production, which results in huge economic
losses. It is becoming a more serious issue with respect to the global climate change …

Drought is a major environmental factor limiting wheat production worldwide, and
developing drought-tolerant cultivars is a central challenge for wheat breeders globally …

Plants in their natural habitats adapt to drought stress in the environment through a variety of
mechanisms, ranging from transient responses to low soil moisture to major survival …

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 …

Plants often encounter unfavorable environmental conditions because of their sessile
lifestyle. These adverse factors greatly affect the geographic distribution of plants, as well as …

Crop yield reduction as a consequence of increasingly severe climatic events threatens
global food security. Genetic loci that ensure productivity in challenging environments exist …

Rice is a worldwide staple food and heavy metal contamination is often reported in rice
production. Heavy metal can originate from natural sources or be present through …

Tolerance of plants to abiotic stressors such as drought and salinity is triggered by complex
multicomponent signaling pathways to restore cellular homeostasis and promote survival …

Salt tolerance is an important constrain for rice, which is generally categorized as a typical
glycophyte. Soil salinity is one of the major constraints affecting rice production worldwide …
