Soil salinity is a global issue that limits plant growth in agricultural fields and contributes to
food crisis. Salt stressors impede plant's ionic, osmotic, and oxidative balance, as well as a …

Several recent studies have shown that citric acid/citrate (CA) can confer abiotic stress
tolerance to plants. Exogenous CA application leads to improved growth and yield in crop …

As one of the common abiotic stresses, chilling stress has negative effects on rice growth
and development. Minimization of these adverse effects through various ways is vital for the …

Seed germination is critical for successful crop production and this growth stage can be very
sensitive to salt stress depending on the plant's tolerance mechanisms. The pretreatment of …

Water deficit caused by drought is a significant threat to crop growth and production. Nitric
oxide (NO), a water-and lipid-soluble free radical, plays an important role in cytoprotection …

Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid that adversely affects plant growth, and poses severe risks to
human health. It induces disturbance to many physiological and metabolic pathways such …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a diatomic gaseous molecule, which plays different roles in different
strata of organisms. Discovered as a neurotransmitter in animals, NO has now gained a …

Auxin not only controls the development processes, but also regulates the stress responses
of plants. In this investigation, we explored the potential roles of exogenously applied indole …

Vanadium (V) induced hazardous effects posturing a serious concern on crop production as
well as food security. However, the nitric oxide (NO)-mediated alleviation of V-induced …

The WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play multifaceted roles in plant growth, development,
and stress response. Previously, we found that SlWRKY81 negatively regulates tomato …
