TL;DR: Genetic variations in altered metabolic levels in chickpea varieties grown under contrasting water regimes through ultrahigh‐performance liquid chromatography/high‐resolution mass spectrometry‐based untargeted metabolomic profiling are demonstrated.

TL;DR: One of the first linkage maps in wheat using genotype by sequencing SNP (GBS-SNP) markers to extreme response to post anthesis heat stress conditions is reported, which can be used for marker assisted selection in breeding wheat for improved heat tolerance in Ventnor or Karl 92 genetic background.

TL;DR: The results showed that both genotypes, treated with PGRs and PGPRs (consortium), performed significantly better under drought condition through enhanced leaf relative water content (RWC), greater biomass of shoot and root, higher Fv/FM ratio and higher accumulation of protein, sugar and phenolic compounds.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored how sugars, amino acids and organic acids assist plants under severe environmental conditions and alleviate the adverse effects of abiotic stresses, and suggested that the accretion of amino acids helps in stress tolerance of plants through contributing in detoxification of reactive oxygen species, regulation of pH and osmotic adjustments.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrated that the metabolic response of shoots to drought contrasts with that of roots, and some growth metabolites showed a mirror increase in both parts, which supports the idea that the roots are more drought tolerant than the leaf or shoot.
