Breeding crop plants with increased yield potential and improved tolerance to stressful
environments is critical for global food security. Drought stress (DS) adversely affects …

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

Drought is one of the major environmental stresses that negatively affect the maize (Zea
mays L.) growth and production throughout the world. Foliar applications of plant growth …

Metabolic regulation is the key mechanism implicated in plants maintaining cell osmotic
potential under drought stress. Understanding drought stress tolerance in plants will have a …

Wheat is an important cereal crop, which is adversely affected by water deficit stress. The
effect of induced stress can be reduced by the application of salicylic acid (SA). With the …

Metabolomics is an emerging branch of “omics” and it involves identification and
quantification of metabolites and chemical footprints of cellular regulatory processes in …

Increased periods of water shortage and higher temperatures, together with a reduction in
nutrient availability, have been proposed as major factors that negatively impact plant …

Water scarceness is a major threat to wheat productivity under changing climate scenarios,
especially in arid and semi-arid regions. However, growing drought-tolerant wheat …

Abstract Background Atractylodes lancea (Thunb.) DC, a medicinal herb belonging to the
Asteraceae family, often faces severe drought stress during its growth. Until now, there has …

Peanut is frequently constrained by extreme environmental conditions such as drought. To
reveal the involvement of metabolites, TAG 24 (drought-tolerant) and JL 24 (drought …
