There is a need for a more innovative fertilizer approach that can increase the productivity of
agricultural systems and be more environmentally friendly than synthetic fertilizers. In this …

Arsenic (As) is a highly toxic contaminant in the environment. Although both inorganic and
organic types of arsenic exist in the environment, the most common inorganic forms of As …

Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, heat, cold, and heavy metals, are associated with
global climate change and hamper plant growth and development, affecting crop yields and …

Recent years have witnessed a gradual increase in the bioavailability and groundwater
leaching of toxic heavy metals (HMs) in the environment, driven mainly by anthropogenic …

Cadmium stress is one of the chief environmental cues that can substantially reduce plant
growth. In the present research, we studied the effect of jasmonic acid (JA) and gibberellic …

Efficiency of methyl-jasmonate (5 µM Me-J) priming and the foliar application of melatonin
(100 µM ML) in assuaging the deleterious effects of chromium (Cr) toxicity on growth …

In nature, heavy metal (HM) stress is one of the most destructive abiotic stresses for plants.
Heavy metals produce toxicity by targeting key molecules and important processes in plant …

Salt stress is a major limiting factor for plant growth and crop yield. High salinity causes
osmotic stress followed by ionic stress, both of which disturb plant growth and metabolism …

The beneficial role of glycine betaine (GB) in the adaptation of plants to abiotic stresses is
well known; therefore, the study of physiological and molecular responses induced by …

Heavy metals (HMs) stress, particularly lead (Pb) stress, is one of the most hazardous
environmental stresses that can negatively affect plants' growth, yield, and quality …
