From stress signaling to yield stability: physiological and molecular mechanisms of wheat resilience to heat and drought stress

Responses of tomato to concurrent abiotic stresses, high temperature and drought: A review

Tomato production is increasingly threatened by the growing occurrence and severity of combined drought and high-temperature stress. Although the individual effects of high temperature and drought stress on tomato growth, physiology, and productivity have been widely investigated, their combined occurrence exerts more...

Abiotic stress response mechanisms, molecular mitigation, and future strategies in millets

Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, temperature extremes, heavy metals, and pesticide toxicity, severely impact plant growth and productivity, primarily through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and metabolic imbalances. In the era of climate change and declining agricultural sustainability, th...

Cotton Seed Germination Under the Main Abiotic Stress: Physiological Mechanisms, Molecular Responses, and Agronomic Strategies

Cotton is a globally vital economic crop and the primary source of natural fiber. Continued world population growth keeps driving demand for cotton lint, while the increasing frequency of extreme weather events exposes cotton production to a range of abiotic stresses, including salinity, drought, and temperature extrem...

Abiotic Stress Tolerance and Breeding Strategies in Rice: A Comprehensive Review

Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and temperature extremes, as well as their combinations, often occur during rice production, negatively affecting rice growth, yield, and quality. The impacts include reduced leaf area and photosynthesis, inhibition of spikelet formation and development, and oxidative stress....

Molecular and physiological mechanisms of drought tolerance in grapevine

This review synthesizes recent advances in elucidating the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying drought tolerance in Vitis vinifera to provide an integrative conceptual framework to support sustainable viticulture in water-limited environments.

Plant photosynthetic responses to drought, rewatering, and flooding
