Due to global climate change, abiotic stresses are affecting plant growth, productivity, and
the quality of cultivated crops. Stressful conditions disrupt physiological activities and …

Environmental contamination with arsenic (As) is a global environmental, agricultural and
health issue due to the highly toxic and carcinogenic nature of As. Exposure of plants to As …

Heavy metal contamination of soil and water causing toxicity/stress has become one
important constraint to crop productivity and quality. This situation has further worsened by …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a naturally occurring phenolic compound. SA plays an important role in
the regulation of plant growth, development, ripening, and defense responses. The role of …

Salinity hinders plant growth and results in reduced crop yield. The use of plant growth-
promoting endophytic bacteria is an eco-friendly strategy to counteract such stresses and …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MPK) cascades play vital roles in plant innate immunity,
growth, and development. Here, we report that the rice (Oryza sativa) transcription factor …

Plants are adapted to sense numerous stress stimuli and mount efficient defense responses
by directing intricate signaling pathways. They respond to undesirable circumstances to …

Background Salinity is a major threat to the agriculture industry due to the negative impact of
salinity stress on crop productivity. In the present study, we isolated rhizobacteria and …

Plant growth and resilience require balancing an inherently oxidative metabolism with
powerful antioxidant systems that help maintain homeostasis. When the environment …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone that regulates many aspects of plant
growth and development, as well as resistance to (a) biotic stress. Efforts to identify SA …
