Cadmium (Cd) is an unessential trace element in plants that is ubiquitous in the
environment. Anthropogenic activities such as disposal of urban refuse, smelting, mining …

Reductions in crop yields brought about by abiotic stress are expected to increase as
climate change, and other factors, generate harsher environmental conditions in regions …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a very simple phenolic compound (a C7H6O3 compound composed of
an aromatic ring, one carboxylic and a hydroxyl group) and this simplicity contrasts with its …

Several recent studies have shown that citric acid/citrate (CA) can confer abiotic stress
tolerance to plants. Exogenous CA application leads to improved growth and yield in crop …

The role of nitric oxide (NO) in salicylic acid (SA)-induced tolerance to arsenic (As) stress in
maize plants is not reported in the literature. Before starting As stress (AsS) treatments, SA …

Plant hormones play a vital role in promoting growth, development and metabolism of the
plant, as well as act as a protector against various environmental stresses. In particular …

The objective of this research was to determine the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles
(ZnONPs) and/or salicylic acid (SA) under arsenic (As) stress on rice (Oryza sativa). ZnONPs …

Menthol mint (Mentha arvensis L.) cultivation is significantly affected by the heavy metals like
cadmium (Cd) which also imposes severe health hazards. Two menthol mint cultivars …

Stomata are one of the important structures for plants to alleviate metal stress and improve
plant resistance. Therefore, a study on the effects and mechanisms of heavy metal toxicity to …

The contribution of nanoparticles (NPs) in physiology of the plants became the new area of
interest for the physiologists; as it is very much cost effective compared to the …
