Water limitation represents the main environmental constraint affecting crop yield worldwide. Photosynthesis is a primary drought target, resulting in over-reduction of the photosynthetic electron transport chain and inc...

Abstract Background Cycas panzhihuaensis, as a national first-class protected plant, has long been threatened by dual high-temperature and drought stress. Photosynthesis is a key target of dual high-temperature and droug...

The Tropical-Subtropical region of the Earth is home to the main watersheds, sources of water and food on the planet. It is the domain of the Hadley’s global convective circulation, affected by major changes in its ver...

Climate change-induced shocks, particularly drought, are more prevalent and causing drastic changes in farming and livelihood in the Barind Tract region of Bangladesh. Therefore, this study aims to identify drought shock...

Stalk-lodging and drought are major constraints limiting maize productivity. We previously characterized B73 as stalk-lodging resistant but drought-sensitive maize inbred, while EA2024 is stalk-lodging susceptible and dr...

Silphium is being domesticated as a new perennial biomass and oilseed crop. As a consequence of selection toimprove yield, seedling´s growth and survival are expected to be affected indirectly. The phenotypic integratio...

Abstract Climate change poses significant threats to agricultural production and livelihoods in Bangladesh, particularly in its agrarian regions. This research specifically addresses the vulnerability of the coastal area...

Drier conditions have been observed in Northern Patagonia, Argentina, in the last decades, affecting the pastoralism production system. In this context, two laws were promoted to foster goat and sheep production. This re...

In this study, the effects of salinity (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mM NaCl) and drought stress on the germination and seedling development of five Cynodon dactylon genotypes (A, B, C, D, and Gobi), collected from dif...

Climate change-induced weather extremes are increasing the intensity and frequency of disturbance events, posing a major threat to forests globally. In Central Europe, hotter and drier summers, such as those during the 2...

A positive relationship between protein concentration and yield has been documented in different combinations of genotype and environment, often under potential conditions. However, the ecophysiological bases underlying ...

Abstract Background The use of biostimulants in agriculture has shown fabulous potential in combating climate change induced stresses such as drought. Improving agricultural productivity requires sustainable drought stre...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represent a key biological strategy for enhancing agricultural resilience under extreme climatic events such as drought. However, how AMF interact with drought-tolerant plant genotypes ...

In 2012, a severe drought struck the southeastern of Brazil compromising the Paraná River Basin reservoirs. Here, we described how this climatic event promoted a massive mortality of the giant freshwater mussel Anodonti...

Drought and phosphorus deficiency frequently co-occur in the red soil region of southern China and severely limit maize growth and productivity; however, the interactive effects of these two stresses and the genotypic di...

In semi-arid regions, plants develop various biochemical and physiological strategies to adapt to dry periods. Understanding the resistance mechanisms to dry periods under field conditions is an important topic in ecolog...

Drought stress limits wheat productivity at terminal stage by disrupting physiological activities, impairing cellular homeostasis, and decreasing grain yield. Present study elucidated the role of potassium silicate (K2Si...

IntroductionClimate change is increasing the co-occurrence of heat, drought, and soil salinization in Mediterranean agroecosystems, yet their interactive effects on crop physiology remain poorly understood. We investigat...

Water-scarce smallholder regions require irrigation strategies that are both biophysically credible and socially legitimate. We propose an integrated hydro-economic decision-support framework for the Cesar Department (Co...

Among the weather-related natural hazards, drought is probably the most complex and severe due to its intrinsic nature and wide-ranging and cascading impacts. It affects agricultural production, public water supply, ener...
