Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses besides drought and cold stress. The application
of plant growth regulators (PGRs) is an effective method to mitigate yield losses caused by …

Plants are continuously challenged by several environmental stresses that impair their
growth and production performances. Stresses encountered by plants can be caused by …

In a soilless long-term salt-stress experiment, we tested the differences between the
commercial sweet pepper cultivar “Quadrato d'Asti” and the landrace “Cazzone Giallo” in the …

The Solanaceae family includes commercially important vegetable crops characterized by
their relative sensitivity to salinity. Evaluation of 8 eggplant (Solanum melongena), 7 tomato …

Weeds are a constant component of the agricultural environment, causing significant yield
losses if not adequately controlled. Similarly, salt stress is an ever-expanding phenomenon …

Nutrient-efficient plants and agricultural systems could tackle issues resulting from
conventional agriculture. Spiny chicory (Cichorium spinosum L.), a very adaptive, wild edible …

As a glycophyte plant, pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is widely cultivated worldwide, but its
growth is susceptible to salinity damage, especially at the seedling stage. Here, we …

Soil salinity caused by climate change is a major global issue, especially in regions like the
Mediterranean basin. Most commercially cultivated horticultural species, including pepper …

Traditional varieties are good candidates to be grown under sustainable conditions. In this
research we evaluated the effect of reducing fertilization and irrigation dose, and the use of …

Better understanding of crop yield response under salinity and water deficit conditions is
essential to meet food need under the circumstance of population growth and climate …
