The anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway has been investigated as a candidate for visual reporting in plants, due to its pigment-producing capacity. Activation of this pathway is predominantly regulated by MYB-bHLH regulator...

ABSTRACT In terrestrial plants, drought stress activates abscisic acid (ABA) signaling in guard cells, prompting stomatal closure to reduce water loss. Stomatal closure is accompanied by reorganization of the microfilame...

Abstract The MYB transcription factor family is one of the largest and most functionally diverse groups of transcription factors in angiosperms. Members of this family participate in a wide array of biological processes,...

Climate change is seriously threatening biodiversity and, especially, insects because their biological cycles are highly dependent on environmental conditions. We studied (1) how climate characterised by droughts and hea...

One way to increase maize productivity in dry land is to develop superior maize varieties with high production, early maturity, and resistance to drought stress. The study aims to evaluate the characteristics of 10 hybri...

As pressures on water and energy systems increase, integrated governance of water-energy nexus has gained importance. In Brazil, where hydropower is the main source of electricity and droughts are frequent, managing this...

Abstract The upper reaches of the Yangtze River observed record‐breaking droughts, heatwaves, and forest fires in rapid sequence during the 2022 summer, challenging the established mechanistic understanding. We here ex...

ABSTRACT The anomalies of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) influence rainfall and therefore the regime of the rise and fall in the level of the rivers in the Amazon region. The aim of this study was to investigate the influ...

ABSTRACT We evaluated the local population dynamic of two epiphytic species, Syrrhopodon helicophyllus and Thysananthus amazonicus, over six years from 2014-2020, both before and after the fire event which occurred in th...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most widely planted crops globally with Argentina leading world production and exportation. Santiago del Estero province, east of Tucumán and north of Córdoba encompasses eight agro-cl...

The Andes Cordillera contains the most diverse cryosphere on Earth, including extensive areas covered by seasonal snow, numerous tropical and extratropical glaciers, and many mountain permafrost landforms. Here, we revie...

Este trabajo brinda datos sobre las diferentes respuestas fisiológicas y morfológicas de seis variedades de Chenopodium quinoa Willd, de diferentes orígenes geográ- ficos, cultivadas bajo las mismas condiciones ambie...

ABSTRACT Knowledge about water resources is critical for climate adaptation in face of long-term changes and more frequent extreme events occurrence. During the major droughts of 2005 and 2010, a large epicenter was loca...

ABSTRACT The fire frequency in the Amazon increased rapidly after the 1990s due to deforestation and forest degradation, and it is expected to increase in response to climate change. We analyzed the fire occurrence and a...

IntroductionThe health of grassland ecosystems is of great significance for regional ecological security. The alpine grassland is fragile and sensitive to climate change and human activities, but studies on the assessmen...

Abstract Background Soil salinization severely restricts the growth and forage yield of Medicago sativa (alfalfa), a globally critical leguminous forage crop, yet the regulatory mechanisms governing its salt tolerance re...

Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture globally, impacting crop yields and food security. Nigeria is highly climate-vulnerable, with over 70% of livelihoods rain-fed, increasing exposure to floods, dr...

Abstract Food insecurity remains a major challenge in fragile and climate-exposed countries, especially where agricultural production depends on rainfall and economic systems are weak. Somalia faces this challenge acutel...

Abstract Northern Ghana faces acute climate vulnerabilities, yet adaptation pathways remain fragmented and poorly synthesized. This study systematically reviewed 15 peer-reviewed literature covering the Savannah, Upper E...

Smallholder farmers in the Northeast India are vulnerable to climate risks due to subsistence based rainfed farming, fragmented landholdings, fragile ecosystems, and limited institutional support. This study aimed to ass...

O desmatamento na Amazônia procede a um alto ritmo por várias razões, muitas das quais dependem de decisões do governo. O desmatamento leva à perda de serviços ambientais, que têm um valor maior que os usos pouco ...

Climate change-induced Extreme Weather (EW) poses cascading threats to Human Well-being (HWB). Yet, the complex spatial transmission mechanisms and the heterogeneous impacts of distinct climatic stressors remain understu...

Amid growing water crises, climate change, and intensified human activities, there is an urgent need to assess water conditions from an ecological perspective. This study evaluated Water Security with an Ecological Lens ...
