The natural environment of plants is composed of a complex set of abiotic stresses and their
ability to respond to these stresses is highly flexible and finely balanced through the …

Abiotic stressors, such as drought, heavy metals, and high salinity, are causing huge crop
losses worldwide. These abiotic stressors are expected to become more extreme, less …

Increasing evidence shows that nitric oxide (NO), a typical signaling molecule plays
important role in development of plant and in bacteria‐plant interaction. In the present study …

Drought stress retards plant growth and yield. Melatonin and nitric oxide (NO) have
demonstrated their potential role against abiotic stresses; however, the underlying molecular …

Being a chilling-sensitive staple crop, rice (Oryza sativa L.) is vulnerable to climate change.
The competence of rice to withstand chilling stress should, therefore, be enhanced through …

Among various abiotic stresses, heat stress is one of the most damaging, threatening plant
productivity and survival all over the world. Warmer temperatures due to climatic anomalies …

Drought adversely affects crop production in areas with water shortages. In such areas,
various methods need to be implemented to alleviate the effect of water stress on plants …

The use of bio-stimulants (BSs) has become an important policy in managing many stressed
crop plants through the regulation of the balance of phytohormones, osmo-protectors (OPs) …

In this study, a pot experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of foliar spray with
sodium nitroprusside (200 μM SNP) and melatonin (100 μM) singly and in combination on …

Phytotoxicity of metals significantly contributes to the major loss in agricultural productivity.
Among all the metals, copper (Cu) is one of essential metals, where it exhibits toxicity only at …
