Cross-species multiple environmental stress responses: An integrated approach to identify candidate genes for multiple stress tolerance in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and related model species
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
BACKGROUND
Crop response to the changing climate and unpredictable effects of global warming with
adverse conditions such as drought stress has brought concerns about food security to the
fore; crop yield loss is a major ...
Investigating changes over time of annual rainfall in Zimbabwe
(Copernicus Publications, 2010)
There is increasing concern in southern Africa
about the possible decline of rainfall as a result of global
warming. Some studies concluded that average rainfall in
Zimbabwe had declined by 10% or 100 mm during the ...
Drought and exogenous abscisic acid alter hydrogen peroxide accumulation and diferentially regulate the expression of two maize RD22-like genes
(Nature Research, 2017)
Increased biosynthesis of abscisic acid (ABA) occurs in plants in response to water defcit, which is
mediated by changes in the levels of reactive oxygen species such as H2O2. Water defcit and ABA
induce expression of ...
Drought and salinity stress alters ROS accumulation, water retention, and osmolyte content in sorghum plants
(Elsevier, 2017)
biotic stresses such as drought and salinity are major environmental factors that influence crop productivity
worldwide. These adverse conditions induce osmotic stresses in plant cells by decreasing water availability,
thus ...
