In plants dehydration imposed by salinity can invoke physical changes at the interface of the
plasma membrane and cell wall. Changes in hydrostatic pressure activate ion channels and …

The frequency and intensity of droughts have increased in recent decades, and climate
change is a major driver of global droughts. Among abiotic stress factors, drought is one of …

The present study was conducted to examine the effect of exogenously applied ascorbic
acid (AsA) on osmoprotectants and the oxidative defense system in four cultivars (16171 …

In modern agricultural practice, heavy metal (HM) contamination is one of the main abiotic
stress threatening sustainable agriculture, crop productivity, and disturb natural soil …

The selection of stress-resistant cultivars, to be used in breeding programmes aimed at
enhancing the drought and salt tolerance of our major crops, is an urgent need for …

Plants are subjected to many stresses (salinity, drought, heavy metals, temperature, etc.) that
may limit their growth. As a result, plants exhibit a variety of adaptive strategies to mitigate …

Heavy metals like cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn), resulting from
anthropogenic activities, are elements with high persistence in nature, being able to …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are presently the most commonly generated engineered
nanomaterials and are found in a wide range of agro-commercial products. The present …

Nano silver has positive effects on the growth and development of in vitro plants. The current
study was carried out to investigate the effect of adding different concentrations of nano …

Increased temperature caused by climate change is exerting negative impacts on
productivity of cotton crop. Therefore, breeding cultivars tolerant of high temperature are …
