Drought is one of the major stress factors affecting the growth and development of plants. In
this context, drought-related losses of crop plant productivity impede sustainable agriculture …

Negative air ions (NAIs) have been discovered for more than 100 years and are widely used
for air cleaning. Here, we have carried out a comprehensive reviewing on the effects of NAIs …

High sunlight can raise plant growth rates but can potentially cause cellular damage. The
likelihood of deleterious effects is lowered by a sophisticated set of photoprotective …

Salinity tolerance has been extensively investigated in recent years due to its agricultural
importance. Several features, such as the regulation of ionic transporters and metabolic …

BRs are polyhydroxylated sterol derivatives, classified as phytohormones. Plants of Brassica
juncea var. Varuna were grown in pots and an aqueous solution (10− 8 M) of two …

Photosynthetic organisms require rapid and reversible down-regulation of light harvesting to
avoid photodamage. Response to unpredictable light fluctuations is achieved by inducing …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are by-products of aerobic metabolism, and excessive
production can result in oxidative stress and cell damage. In addition, ROS function as …

We studied how high light causes photoinhibition of photosystem I (PSI) in the shade-
demanding fern Nephrolepis falciformis, in an attempt to understand the mechanism of PSI …

Rice (Oryza sativa) falls among the staple food crops in different parts of the globe. In current
scenario of climate change, drought stress leads to significant decrease in crop production. It …

Plants can undergo external fluctuations in the natural light and dark cycle. The
photosynthetic apparatus needs to operate in an appropriate manner to fluctuating …
