Plants cannot move, so they must endure abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and
extreme temperatures. These stressors greatly limit the distribution of plants, alter their …

An increase in technological interventions and ruthless urbanization in the name of
development has deteriorated our environment over time and caused the buildup of heavy …

In this investigation, the effect of salt stress on Portulaca oleracea L. was monitored at
salinity levels of 100 and 300 mM NaCl. At a concentration of 100 mM NaCl there was a …

Prolonged periods of drought triggered by climate change hamper plant growth and cause
substantial agricultural yield losses every year. In addition to drought, salinity is one of the …

Glutathione is an essential metabolite for plant life best known for its role in the control of
reactive oxygen species (ROS). Glutathione is also involved in the detoxification of …

Food security and the protection of the environment are urgent issues for global society,
particularly with the uncertainties of climate change. Changing climate is predicted to have a …

The protective role of exogenously applied kinetin (10 μM KN, a cytokinin) against the
adverse effects caused by NaCl-induced (150 mM) stress in Solanum lycopersicum was …

Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) is competent in inducing physiological responses in
plants for combating the abiotic stresses. Considering this, salt stress is one of the most …

Extreme weather events can cause heat stress that decreases crop production. Recent
studies have demonstrated that protein degradation and rRNA homeostasis as well as …

Edaphic factors such as salinity, sodicity, and drought adversely affect crop productivity,
either alone or in combination. Despite soil sodicity being reported as an increasing problem …
