Photosynthesis and antioxidative defense mechanisms in deciphering drought stress tolerance of crop plants

Crop plants are regularly exposed to an array of abiotic and biotic stresses, among them drought stress is a major environmental factor that shows adverse effects on plant growth and productivity. Because of this these factors are considered as hazardous for crop production. Drought stress elicits a...
