The progressive increase in the earth's temperature due to anthropogenic activities is a
major concern for humanity. The ensuing heat stress (HS) severely impacts plant growth …

Turfgrasses are ground cover plants with intensive fibrous roots to encounter different
edaphic stresses. The major edaphic stressors of turfgrasses often include soil salinity …

Drought stress is the major limiting factor which affects turfgrass management in area with
restricted rainfall or irrigation water supply. Trinexapac ethyl (TE), Paclobutrazol (PAC) and …

Urban green areas (UGA) in arid regions potentially offer ecosystem services such as the
regulation of biogeochemical cycles (water and carbon), which can help make efficient use …

Leaf senescence is one of typical symptoms of salt stress in higher plants. The objectives of
this study were to examine whether salt-induced leaf senescence could be alleviated by …

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used on turfgrass to slow vertical growth and reduce
mowing intensity. However, turfgrasses sometimes exhibit some leaf discolouration after …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the second most commonly produced and consumed crop after
wheat globally and is adversely affected by high heat, which is a significant abiotic stress …

Soil alkalization is one of the most prominent adverse environmental factors limiting plant
growth, while alkali stress affects amino acids and carbohydrates metabolism. The objective …

Salinity stress due to increased use of non-potable water sources for irrigation imposes
major limitations on plant growth in salt-affected soils. However, rising atmospheric CO 2 …

Gama-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a nonprotein amino acid in plant cells, which responds to
changes in environmental factors. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of …
