Drought-Resilient Crops for Sustainable Agriculture: Genetic, Physiological, and Agronomic Advances

Drought constitutes one of the most pervasive abiotic constraints limiting global crop productivity, with its frequency and intensity projected to increase substantially under ongoing climate change. This narrative review synthesises contemporary evidence on the genetic, physiological, and agronomic dimensions of droug...

Crop Adaptation to Combined Abiotic Stresses: Mechanisms and Microbial Partners (Review)

This review systematizes current knowledge on the types of CAS, their interactions, and their impacts on plant physiological, molecular, and microbiological processes, and extrapolates from established mechanisms to propose how microbes may mitigate combined stresses.

Crop Resilience to Combined Drought and Salinity Stress in Drylands: From Soil Processes to Genomic Solutions.

A unified framework that merges mechanistic discovery, microbiome-assisted breeding, soil and water management and systems-level predictive modelling is proposed, essential for developing climate-resilient crops to sustain dryland agriculture.
