Effects of Drought Stress Induced by Hypertonic Polyethylene Glycol (PEG-6000) on Passiflora edulis Sims Physiological Properties

Plants, 2023
Passion fruit is known to be sensitive to drought, and in order to study the physiological and biochemical changes that occur in passion fruit seedlings under drought stress, a hypertonic polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) was ...

Drought-Tolerant Corn Hybrids Yield More in Drought-Stressed Environments with No Penalty in Non-stressed Environments [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The potential benefit of drought-tolerant (DT) corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids may depend on drought intensity, duration, crop growth stage (timing), and the array of drought tolerance mechanisms present in selected hybrids. We hypothesized that corn hybrids containing DT traits would produce more consistent yields compared to non-DT hybrids in the presence

Identification and functional analyses of drought stress resistance genes by transcriptomics of the Mongolian grassland plant Chloris virgata

BMC Plant Biology
Background Mongolian grasslands, including the Gobi Desert, have been exposed to drought conditions with few rains. In such harsh environments, plants with highly resistant abilities against drought stress survive over long periods.

Drought priming enhances wheat grain starch and protein quality under drought stress during grain filling

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
The impacts of drought stress on crop yield and quality are substantial. Drought priming during the early growth stage of plants has been shown to improve tolerance to drought stress during the reproductive stage, although its effects on grain quality ...

Drought Stress Responses in Soybean Roots and Nodules [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Drought is considered to be a major threat to soybean production worldwide and yet our current understanding of the effects of drought on soybean productively is largely based on studies on above-ground traits. Although the roots and root nodules are important sensors of drought, the responses of these crucial organs and their drought tolerance ...

Predisposition of trees to drought stress by ozone [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 1999
This paper reviews research on the effects of ozone on stomatal behavior, and draws attention to the direct link between stomatal function and air pollution. Contradictory results concerning the effects of air pollutants on stomatal activity are attributed to the use of univariate statistical treatments of data.
