Plants are subjected to a wide range of abiotic stresses, such as heat, cold, drought, salinity,
flooding, and heavy metals. Generally, abiotic stresses have adverse impacts on plant …

Cover cropping is a promising and sustainable agronomic practice to ameliorate soil health
and crop performances in agro-ecosystems. Indeed, cover crops (CCs) may regulate several …

Silicon (Si) is the most abundant element on earth after oxygen and is very important for
plant growth under stress conditions. In the present study, we inspected the role of Si in the …

Soil salinization refers to the accumulation of water‐soluble salts in the upper part of the soil
profile. Excessive levels of soil salinity affects crop production, soil health, and ecosystem …

Due to climate change, expansion of salt-affected arable lands has emerged as a major

Abstract Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methioxytryotamine) is a nontoxic biological signaling
molecule and powerful antioxidiant that can improve plants growth under saline condition …

Natural and/or human-caused salinization of soils has become a growing problem in the
world, and salinization endangers agro-ecosystems by causing salt stress in most cultivated …

The agricultural sector is an important part of the Indian economy. The sector is challenged
by various stresses, leading to huge loss in crop productivity globally and disturbs …

The roles of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in promoting plant growth and soil health,
including alteration in plant metabolism and production of phytohormones such as indole-3 …

Salinity is one of the most devastating environmental factors limiting crop productivity
worldwide. Therefore, our study investigates the effect of seed priming with zinc oxide …
