To date, soil salinity becomes a huge obstacle for food production worldwide since salt
stress is one of the major factors limiting agricultural productivity. It is estimated that a …

Photosynthesis is a process that has got immense importance due to its unique role in
sustaining life on earth. Exposure to various biotic and abiotic stresses adversely affects the …

Soil salinity is the major abiotic stress that disrupts nutrient uptake, hinders plant growth, and
threatens agricultural production. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are the most …

Background Photosynthetic efficiency might be a key factor determining plant resistance to
abiotic stresses. Plants can sense when growing conditions are not favorable and trigger an …

Efficiency of methyl-jasmonate (5 µM Me-J) priming and the foliar application of melatonin
(100 µM ML) in assuaging the deleterious effects of chromium (Cr) toxicity on growth …

Silicon (Si) can increase salt tolerance of plants, and previous studies have focused on NaCl
stress; whereas in protected facilities, nitrate (but not NaCl) accumulation is one of the major …

Exogenous antioxidant applications enable salt-stressed plants to successfully cope with
different environmental stresses. The objectives of this investigation were to study the effects …

Plant biostimulants are compounds, living microorganisms, or their constituent parts that
alter plant development programs. The impact of biostimulants is manifested in several …

The effects of jasmonic acid (JA) and methyl jasmonate (Me-JA) on photosynthetic efficiency
and expression of some photosystem (PSII) related in different cultivars of Brassica oleracea …

Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients for plant growth and development. Nitrate
nitrogen (NO 3−-N) is the main form of nitrogen taken up by plants. Understanding the …
