Photosynthesis sustains plant life on earth and is indispensable for plant growth and
development. Factors such as unfavorable environmental conditions, stress regulatory …

Plants encounter various abiotic stresses due to their sessile nature which include heavy
metals, salt, drought, nutrient deficiency, light intensity, pesticide contamination, as well as …

Plants face a variety of abiotic stresses, which generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), and
ultimately obstruct normal growth and development of plants. To prevent cellular damage …

Phenolic compounds are an important class of plant secondary metabolites which play
crucial physiological roles throughout the plant life cycle. Phenolics are produced under …

Several environmental stresses, including biotic and abiotic factors, adversely affect the
growth and development of crops, thereby lowering their yield. However, abiotic factors, eg …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a very simple phenolic compound (a C7H6O3 compound composed of
an aromatic ring, one carboxylic and a hydroxyl group) and this simplicity contrasts with its …

Phytohormones act as chemical messengers and, under a complex regulation, allow plants
to sustain biotic and abiotic stresses. Thus, phytohormones are known for their regulatory …

The present study investigates a possible mechanism of 24-Epibrassinolide (EBL) mediated
alleviation of salinity stress in Brassica juncea L. seedlings. EBL (10–6 M and 10–8 M) …

Chromium (Cr) phytotoxicity affirmed the need of mitigation strategies to remediate polluted
soils and restricts its accumulation in the food chains. Salicylic acid (SA) and silicon (Si) play …

Contamination of soils and water bodies by toxic heavy metals (HMs) such as cadmium
(Cd), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn), is a major …
