Soil salinization, which is aggravated by climate change and inappropriate anthropogenic activities, has emerged as a serious environmental problem, threatening sustainable agriculture and future food security. Although there has been considerable progress in developing crop varieties by introducing...

Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and their destructive effects on cellular organelles are the hallmark features of plants exposed to abiotic stresses. Plants are well-equipped with defensive mechanisms like antioxidant systems to deal with ROS-induced oxidative stress. Silicon has been...

Potassium (K) is an integral part of plant nutrition, playing essential roles in plant growth and development. Despite its abundance in soils, the limitedly available form of K ion (K+) for plant uptake is a critical factor for agricultural production. Plants have evolved complex transport systems t...

Abstract The current study sought the effective mitigation measure of seawater-induced damage to mung bean plants by exploring the potential roles of acetic acid (AA). Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that foliar application of AA under control conditions improved mung bean growth, which ...

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the prominent environmental hazards, affecting plant productivity and posing human health risks worldwide. Although salicylic acid (SA) and nitric oxide (NO) are known to have stress mitigating roles, little was explored on how they work together against Cd-toxicity in rice. T...

We investigated the mechanistic consequences of selenium (Se)-toxicity, and its possible mitigation using salicylic acid (SA) in rice. In comparison with control, sodium selenate-exposed 'Se1' (0.5 mM) and 'Se2' (1.0 mM) plants showed accumulation of Se by 190.63 and 288.00 % in roots, 2359.42 and 2...

Salinity, one of the major environmental constraints, threatens soil health and consequently agricultural productivity worldwide. Acacia auriculiformis, being a halophyte, offers diverse benefits against soil salinity, however; the defense mechanisms underlying salt-tolerant capacity in A. auriculif...

Exposure to drought stress negatively affects plant productivity and consequently threatens global food security. As global climates change, identifying solutions to increase the resilience of plants to drought is increasingly important. Several chemical treatments have recently emerged as promising...

Melatonin has recently emerged as a multifunctional biomolecule with promising aspects in plant stress tolerance. The present study examined the effects of foliar-sprayed melatonin (0, 100, and 200 μM) on growth and essential oil yield attributes of lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora) under water-shor...

Glutathione (GSH)-dependent detoxification mechanisms are crucial for protecting plants from the adverse effects of abiotic stresses, including drought. Plant tolerance to drought is regulated by a set of transcription factors that are considered as an integral part of signaling networks in plants. ...

We explored genetic evidence for strigolactones' role in rice tolerance to arsenate-stress. Comparative analyses of roots of wild-type (WT) and strigolactone-deficient mutants d10 and d17 in response to sodium arsenate (Na2AsO4) revealed differential growth inhibition [WT (11.28%) vs. d10 (19.76%) a...

The resilience of plants to concurrent abiotic stresses—such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, heavy metals, and elevated CO2 levels—is paramount in the era of climate change. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), traditionally perceived as mere byproducts of metabolic processes, serve a dual rol...

Heat stress, resulting from global warming, is considered one of the major challenges to be addressed for increasing plant survival and productivity worldwide. Although plants have a built-in defense mechanism against heat stress, such strategy seems to be insufficient to counteract heat adversities...
