Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is a usual phenomenon in a plant both under a normal and stressed condition. However, under unfavorable or adverse conditions, ROS production exceeds the capacity of the antioxidant defense system. Both non-enzymatic and enzymatic components of the antioxidan...

Glutathione (GSH; γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) is a small intracellular thiol molecule which is considered as a strong non-enzymatic antioxidant. Glutathione regulates multiple metabolic functions; for example, it protects membranes by maintaining the reduced state of both α-tocopherol and zeaxanth...

Various environmental stresses singly or in combination generate excess amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress and impaired redox homeostasis. Generation of ROS is the obvious outcome of abiotic stresses and is gaining importance not only for their ubiquitous generatio...

Global food security for a growing population with finite resources is often challenged by multiple, simultaneously occurring on-farm abiotic stresses (i.e., drought, salinity, low and high temperature, waterlogging, metal toxicity, etc.) due to climatic uncertainties and variability. Breeding for m...

Cadmium (Cd) brings a devastating health hazard to human being as a serious consequence of agricultural and environmental contamination. We demonstrated the protective effect of silicon (Si) on cadmium (Cd)-stressed rapeseed (Brassica napus L. cv. BINA Sharisha 3) plants through regulation of antiox...

Drought stress is considered as a major constraint for the production of crops around the world; therefore we need some mechanistic strategies to cope drought stress adverse effects. Silicon (Si) plays a vital role in major physiological, metabolic, and/or functional roles in plants facing abiotic s...

The present study was designed to investigate the duration-dependent changes in the biochemical attributes of sesame in response to waterlogging stress. Sesame plants (Sesamum indicum L. cv. BARI Til-4) were subjected to waterlogging for 2, 4, 6, and 8 days during the vegetative stage and data were ...

Nitric oxide (NO) is dynamic molecule implicated in diverse biological functions demonstrating its protective effect against damages provoked by abiotic stresses. The present study investigated that exogenous NO pretreatment (500 µM sodium nitroprusside, 24 h) prevented the adverse effect of drought...

From the beginning of the Green Revolution, the use of herbicides has started to control weeds in cropland. The use of herbicides became very much popular due to its efficacy in controlling weeds and reduction of labor cost. However, the excess use of herbicides causes toxicity to plants and the res...

Considering the adverse effect of drought on plants growth, development and physiology, we studied the protective role of three osmolytes, proline (Pro), glycine betaine (GB) and trehalose (Tre) for the mitigation the adversity of drought on rapeseed (Brassica rapa L. cv. BARI Sharisha-15) seedlings...

Wheat is consumed as a staple food by more than 36% of world population. Wheat provides nearly 55% of the carbohydrates and 20% of the food calories consumed globally. The productivity of wheat is often adversely affected by salt stress which is associated with decreased germination percentage, redu...

Salicylic acid (SA) is an endogenous growth regulator of phenolic nature and also a signaling molecule, which participates in the regulation of physiological processes in plants such as growth, photosynthesis, and other metabolic processes. Several studies support a major role of SA in modulating th...
