Over-production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants under stress conditions is a
common phenomenon. Plants tend to counter this problem through their ability to synthesize …

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 …

Salt stress is an ever-present threat to crop yields, especially in countries with irrigated
agriculture. Efforts to improve salt tolerance in crop plants are vital for sustainable crop …

Soil salinization adversely affects sustainability and productivity of cultivable land by altering
seed germination, growth and physio-biochemical attributes consequently limiting …

Biostimulants (BSs) are probably one of the most promising alternatives nowadays to cope
with yield losses caused by plant stress, which are intensified by climate change …

Seed priming has been used to advance germination and stand in several crops, but
relevant research on faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is scarce. Laboratory and field trials were …

Salinity is abiotic stress that inhibits seed germination and suppresses plant growth and root
development in a dose-dependent manner. Fusarium pseudograminearum (Fg) is a plant …

Abiotic stress is one of the major constraints which restrain plant growth and productivity by
disrupting physiological processes and stifling defense mechanisms. Hence, the present …

Climate change-related environmental conditions, such as drought, salinity, and heat, are
among the most devastating abiotic stresses for crop yield. Their impacts are further …

Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) is widely used as a vegetable in many
countries; however, productivity is adversely affected in areas affected by drought. To …
