The Effect of Drought Stress on Root and Shoot Growth of Kochia (Kochia scoparia L.) under Greenhouse Conditions [PDF]
Introduction: Drought is undoubtedly one of the most important environmental stresses limiting the productivity of crop plants around the world. An optimal partitioning of dry matter between root and shoot, therefore is of crucial importance for crop ...

Physiological Mechanism of Drought-Resistant Rice Coping with Drought Stress [PDF]
Abstract Drought stress is one of major threats to rice production. The weakening of leaf photosynthesis due to drought is the main reason for the reduction of grain yield, but its mechanism is still obscure. The objectives of this study were to reveal the physiological mechanism of drought stress affecting photosynthetic capacity and grain ...

Transcriptomic Responses of Potato to Drought Stress [PDF]
AbstractTranscriptomic changes in plants during drought stress give insights into the mechanisms with which plants stabilise their metabolic processes in order to cope with the drought condition. In potato, understanding such drought-induced transcriptomic changes is critical because prolonged field drought interferes with tuber formation and bulking ...

Tetrapyrrole‐based drought stress signalling
SummaryTetrapyrroles such as chlorophyll and heme play a vital role in primary plant metabolic processes such as photosynthesis and respiration. Over the past decades, extensive genetic and molecular analyses have provided valuable insights into the complex regulatory network of the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis.

Stressed about Drought Stress [PDF]
Climate change is causing widespread forest mortality due to intensified drought conditions. In light of a dynamically changing planet, understanding when forest die-off will occur is vital in predicting forest response to future climate trends. The Environmental Ecology Lab studies plant physiological response to drought stress to determine the lethal
