Abstract:Climate changes are expected to increase the severity of environmental adversities to plants, such as changes in rainfall regimes and the occurrence of more extreme temperatures, imposing a major risk to the productivity of agricultural crops. Throughout evolution, plants have evolved elegant mechanisms to cope with different adverse conditions, through the activation of different signaling pathways. The occurrence of abiotic stresses, such as osmotic stress or endoplasmic reticulum stress, tend to activate sp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
