In plant cells the free radical nitric oxide (NO) interacts both with anti-as well as prooxidants.
This review provides a short survey of the central roles of ascorbate and glutathione—the …

High salinity affects plants due to stimulation of osmotic stress. Cell signaling triggered by
nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) activates a cascade of biochemical events that …

The response of two root associated bacteria Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes and
Bacillus pumilus were studied in the (salt-sensitive) rice GJ17 cultivar to salinity under …

Contamination of mangrove ecosystems, including those of the Red Sea area, has caused
serious concern globally. Spatial distribution of heavy metals and their bioaccumulation in …

Main conclusion We cloned and characterized the ZmWRKY17 gene from maize.
Overexpression of ZmWRKY17 in Arabidopsis led to increased sensitivity to salt stress and …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule involved in mediation of salt stress
induced physiological responses in plants. In this study, we investigated the effect of NO on …

The BRI1-EMS suppressor 1 (BES1)/brassinazole-resistant 1 (BZR1) transcription factors,
key components in the brassinosteroid signaling pathway, play pivotal roles in plant growth …

Key message Overexpression in rice of the isolated salt-responsive WRKY114 gene from
maize resulted in decreases in both salt-stress tolerance and abscisic acid sensitivity by …

Increasing evidence points to the tight relationship between alternative splicing (AS) and the
salt stress response in plants. However, the mechanisms linking these two phenomena …

Regulatory roles of exogenous salicylic acid (SA) on the antioxidant defense and
methylglyoxal (MG) detoxification systems were investigated in rapeseed seedlings …
