Salinity is a ubiquitous stressor, depleting osmotic potential and affecting the tomato
seedlings' development and productivity. Considering this critical concern, we explored the …

The present study assesses the effects of 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA, 0, 0.1, 1 and 10 mg l−
1) on the growth of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L. cv. ZS758) seedlings under water‐deficit …

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 …

Plants have developed a number of protective mechanisms to respond to salt and other
stresses. Previous studies have shown that the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription …

It is widely known that salt stress restricts rice growth and productivity severely. However,
little information is available regarding the stage of rice seedlings subjected to the Heme …

The 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a new type of plant growth regulator, can relieve the toxicity
of cadmium (Cd) to plants. However, its mechanism has not been thoroughly studied. In the …

Alkali stress limits plant growth and yield more strongly than salt stress and can lead to the
appearance of yellow leaves; however, the reasons remain unclear. In this study, we found …

Salt stress disrupts cellular ion homeostasis and adversely impacts plant growth and
productivity. We examined the regulatory mechanisms of porphyrin biosynthesis …

Studies on compounds capable of enhancing tolerance of crop species to abiotic stresses
are of great importance. Although first discovered as possessing herbicidal properties, latest …

Abstract Aims Aluminum (Al) toxicity is one of the major factors that limit plant growth. Low
concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) has been proven to function in physiological …
