Abstract Drought stress and pathogen infection simultaneously occur in the field. In this study, interaction of these two stresses with chickpea, their individual combined effect net impact on plant growth yield traits were systematically assessed under field confined pot experiments. The experiments conducted for four consecutive years from 2014–15 to 2017–18 at different locations India. Different irrigation regimes maintained impose mild severe drought stress, natural incidence was...
Heat waves occurring during droughts can have a devastating impact on yield, especially if they happen the flowering and seed set stages of crop cycle. Global warming climate change are driving an alarming increase in frequency intensity combined drought heat stress episodes, critically threatening global food security. Because high temperature is detrimental to reproductive processes, essential for plant we measured inner temperature, transpiration, sepal stomatal aperture, hormone...
Abstract To successfully survive, develop, grow and reproduce, multicellular organisms must coordinate their molecular, physiological, developmental metabolic responses among different cells tissues. This process is mediated by cell‐to‐cell, vascular and/or volatile communication, involves electric, chemical hydraulic signals. Within this context, stomata serve a dual role coordinating to the environment with neighbouring at epidermis, but also other present on parts of plant. As represent...
SUMMARY Plants growing under natural conditions experience high light (HL) intensities that are often accompanied by elevated temperatures. These could affect photosynthesis, reduce yield, and negatively impact agricultural productivity. The combination of different abiotic challenges creates a new type stress for plants generating complex environmental exceed the their individual parts. Transcription factors (TFs) play key role in integrating molecular signals generated multiple conditions,...
Global warming and climate change are driving an alarming increase in the frequency intensity of extreme events, such as droughts, heat waves, their combination, inflicting heavy losses to agricultural production. Recent studies revealed that transcriptomic responses different crops water deficit (WD) or stress (HS) very from a combination WD + HS. In addition, it was found effects WD, HS, HS significantly more devastating when these stresses occur during reproductive growth phase crops,...
As a result of global warming and climate change, the number intensity weather events such as droughts, heat waves, floods are increasing, resulting in major losses crop yield worldwide. Combined with accumulation different pollutants, this situation is leading to gradual increase complexity environmental factors affecting plants. We recently used term 'multifactorial stress combination' (MFSC) describe impact three or more stressors occurring simultaneously sequentially on Here, we show...
Abstract The complexity of environmental factors affecting crops in the field is gradually increasing due to climate change-associated weather events, such as droughts or floods combined with heat waves, coupled accumulation different and agricultural pollutants. impact multiple stress conditions on plants was recently termed “multifactorial combination” (MFSC) defined occurrence 3 more stressors that simultaneously sequentially. We reported increased number MFSC stressors, growth survival...
Abstract Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of droughts, heat waves, their combinations, diminishing agricultural productivity destabilizing societies worldwide. We recently reported that during a combination water deficit (WD) stress (HS), stomata on leaves soybean (Glycine max) plants are closed, while flowers open. This unique stomatal response was accompanied by differential transpiration (higher flowers, lower leaves) cooled WD + HS. Here, we reveal...
In field conditions, plants are concurrently exposed to multiple stresses, where one stressor impacts the plants’ response another stressor, and resultant net effect of these stresses differs from individual stress response. The present study investigated drought on interaction chickpea with Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola (Psp; foliar pathogen) Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs; xylem inhabiting wilt causing pathogen), respectively, net-effect combined chlorophyll content cell death. Two...
Differential transpiration is a newly discovered acclimation strategy of annual plants to combination water deficit (WD) and heat stress (HS). Under these conditions (i.e., WD+HS), vegetative tissues suppressed in such as soybean tomato, while reproductive not (termed Transpiration; DT). This process enables the cooling organs under WD+HS, limiting HS-induced damage plant reproduction. However, at what temperature WD extremes will this be active functional reducing internal tissues,...
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum); the second largest legume grown worldwide is prone to drought and various pathogen infections. These stresses often occur concurrently in field conditions. However, molecular events response that are largely unknown. The present study examines transcriptome dynamics chickpea plants exposed a combination of water-deficit stress Ralstonia solanacearum infection. R. potential wilt disease causing chickpea. Drought stressed were infected with this allowed experience...
SUMMARY Global warming, climate change, and industrial pollution are altering our environment subjecting plants, microbiomes, ecosystems to an increasing number complexity of abiotic stress conditions, concurrently or sequentially. These termed, “multifactorial combination” (MFSC), can cause a significant decline in plant growth survival. However, the impacts MFSC on reproductive tissues yield major crop plants largely unknown. We subjected soybean ( Glycine max ) up five different stresses...
Rhizoctonia bataticola causes dry root rot (DRR), a devastating disease in chickpea (Cicer arietinum). DRR incidence increases under water deficit stress and high temperature. However, the roles of other edaphic environmental factors remain unclear. Here, we performed an artificial neural network (ANN)-based prediction considering data from previous reports weather factors. ANN-based using backpropagation algorithm showed that combination total rainfall November to January chickpea-growing...

Recent studies revealed that a combination 3 more stresses simultaneously impacting plant (termed ‘multifactorial combination’; MFSC) can cause drastic decline in growth survival, even if the level each involved MFSC has negligible effect on plants. However, impacts largely unknown. We...
