Novel Trichoderma Isolates Alleviate Water Deficit Stress in Susceptible Tomato Genotypes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Symbiotic fungi in the genus Trichoderma can induce abiotic stress tolerance in crops. The beneficial effects of Trichoderma on water deficit stress are poorly understood and may be isolate-specific. Our objective was to evaluate a collection of Nepalese

Caffeine Produced in Rice Plants Provides Tolerance to Water-Deficit Stress [PDF]
Antioxidants (Basel), 2023 Exogenous or endogenous caffeine application confers resistance to diverse biotic stresses in plants. In this study, we demonstrate that endogenous caffeine in caffeine-producing rice (CPR) increases tolerance even to abiotic stresses such as water deficit. Caffeine produced by CPR plants influences the cytosolic Ca2+ ion concentration gradient.

Changes in Metabolites Produced in Wheat Plants Against Water-Deficit Stress. [PDF]
Plants (Basel)Drought stress can adversely affect the seed germination and seedling growth of wheat plants. This study analyzed the effect of drought on seed germination and the morphological parameters of seedlings from ten winter wheat genotypes. The primary focus was to elucidate the effects of two drought intensities on metabolic status in wheat seedlings.
