Plant drought stress: effects, mechanisms and management

TL;DR: The effects of drought stress on the growth, phenology, water and nutrient relations, photosynthesis, assimilate partitioning, and respiration in plants, and the mechanism of drought resistance in plants on a morphological, physiological and molecular basis are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drought tolerance improvement in crop plants: An integrated view from breeding to genomics

TL;DR: Breeders are asked to blend together all knowledge on the traits sustaining yield under drought and to accumulate the most effective QTLs and/or transgenes into elite genotypes without detrimental effects on yield potential, which will lead to new cultivars with high yield potential and high yield stability, that will result in superior performance in dry environments.

The critical role of potassium in plant stress response.

TL;DR: The emerging role of K in defending against a number of biotic and abiotic stresses, including diseases, pests, drought, salinity, cold and frost and waterlogging is focused on.

Drought stress in plants: A review on morphological characteristics and pigments composition

TL;DR: Drought induced changes in morphological, physiological and pigments composition in higher plants are described, which results in declined light harvesting and generation of reducing powers, which are a source of energy for dark reactions of photosynthesis.

Salt and drought stress signal transduction in plants

TL;DR: Salt and drought stress signal transduction consists of ionic and osmotic homeostasis signaling pathways, detoxification (i.e., damage control and repair) response pathways, and pathways for growth regulation.

THE WATER-WATER CYCLE IN CHLOROPLASTS: Scavenging of Active Oxygens and Dissipation of Excess Photons

TL;DR: Whenever the water-water cycle operates properly for scavenging of active oxygens in chloroplasts, it also effectively dissipates excess excitation energy under environmental stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding plant responses to drought — from genes to the whole plant

TL;DR: Attention is drawn to the perception and signalling processes (chemical and hydraulic) of water deficits, which are essential for a holistic understanding of plant resistance to stress, which is needed to improve crop management and breeding techniques.

How Plants Cope with Water Stress in the Field? Photosynthesis and Growth

TL;DR: Differences among species that can be traced to different capacities for water acquisition, rather than to differences in metabolism at a given water status, are described.
