1 Under different stress conditions, plants undergo a wide range of physiological changes to adapt to them. This article is focused on plant’s response to drought, heat, and climate changes.

Abrupt temperature changes—like cold snaps—and prolonged periods of drought can stress plants, disrupting their normal biochemistry. If not addressed quickly enough, those stresses can ...

Hot weather is here and that can bring extra challenges for vegetable gardens as high temperatures cause yield and quality loss in many vegetable crops. For example, high temperatures contribute to ...

Cook's study challenges the traditional understanding of heat and drought tolerance in plants ... demonstrates that the effect of heat on plants is better understood by looking at cumulative heat ...

“Silicon applications under drought conditions maintain plant nutrient balance and improve the uptake of nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and manganese. This makes ...

Abiotic stresses such as heat, drought, salinity, and intense light significantly impact plant productivity in varying environments. Traditionally, the ...

Pests, drought, extreme temperatures and infections all cause stress in plants. In response, plants' normal biochemistry gets out of whack, and they produce hydrogen peroxide, which also acts as a ...

To protect crops from rising droughts, scientists are looking to the genes of a small group of plants that can survive months ...

Life sciences researchers in parts of the US and Europe tell The Scientist that they had to postpone projects—many of them, ironically, on the effects of drought—or otherwise ... as it measures how ...

Plant microbiomes can similarly influence plant response to environmental stressors like drought and heat. There are thousands ... that mediate how plants grow and defend against both biotic stress ...
