| dc.description.abstract | Environmental stresses, such as drought, salinity, cold and heat cause adverse effects on the plant growth and development. Drought stress, the major constrain for crop productivity, is affecting 1/3 of arable land world-wide and will probably increase in the on-going climate changes. Drought, being the most important environmental stress, severely impairs plant growth and development, limits plant production and the performance of crop plants, more than any other environmental factor (Shao et al., 2009). Drought impacts include growth, yield, membrane integrity, pigment content, osmotic adjustment, water relations, and photosynthetic activity (Benjamin and Nielsen, 2006; Praba et al., 2009). Drought stress is affected by climatic, edaphic and agronomic factors. The susceptibility of plants to drought stress varies in dependence of stress degree, different accompanying stress factors, plant species, and their developmental stages (Demirevska et al., 2009). Acclimation of plants to water deficit is the result of different events, which lead to adaptive changes in plant growth and physio-biochemical processes, such as changes in plant structure, growth rate, tissue osmotic potential and antioxidant defenses (Duan et al., 2007). | |
