Recently, nitric oxide (NO) has been reported to increase plant resistance to heavy metal
stress. In this regard, an in vitro tissue culture experiment was conducted to evaluate the role …

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a monolayer of pigmented cells between the choroid
and the retina. RPE dysfunction underlies many retinal degenerative diseases, including …

The current investigation aimed to evaluate the role of silicon forms on sweet basil (Ocimum
basilicum L.) biomass and essential oil (EO) production, as well as some physiological and …

Greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of soil salinity on some
physiological and biochemical attributes of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) and …

Nitric oxide (NO) has a diverse role in plant metabolism under stressful cues. This study was
carried out to evaluate the effectivity of exogenously applied (pre-sowing and foliar) NO to …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage crop, and its productivity is severely
affected by salt stress. Although proline is a compatible osmolyte that plays an important role …

In this study, marine mussels (Mytilus coruscus) were exposed to three typical PAEs
(dimethyl phthalate [DMP], dibutyl phthalate [DBP] and di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate [DEHP]) at …

Drought is one of the most important constraints on the growth and productivity of many
crops, including sorghum. However, as a primary sensing organ, the plant root response to …

Microplastic contamination in terrestrial ecosystem is emerging as a global threat due to
rapid production of plastic waste and its mismanagement. It affects all living organisms …

Increasing salinity and decreasing crop productivity are the two parallel problems, currently
faced in agroecosystems across the globe. In the absence of proper remediation of salt …
