Phytohormone Signaling in Response to Drought
Under natural conditions, plants are often exposed to both biotic (pathogens, wounding, insects) and abiotic stresses (drought, salinity, heat, high or low temperature, UV light, heavy metals, ozone) simultane...

Cross-Protection by Oxidative Stress: Improving Tolerance to Abiotic Stresses Including Salinity
Abiotic stresses severely limit crop productivity. Plants being sessile, they are continuously exposed to a broad range of environmental stresses. Hence, multiple stress situations are more likely to occur in ...
