Abiotic stresses have a detrimental impact on plant growth and productivity and are a major
threat to sustainable crop production in rapidly changing environments. Proline, an …

Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that restricts the growth and yield of crops.
Understanding the physiological, metabolic, and biochemical responses of plants to salt …

Soil salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses restricting the use of land for agriculture
because it limits the growth and development of most crop plants. Improving productivity …

Salt stress is one of the significant environmental stressors that severely affects plant growth
and development. Plant responses to salt stress involve a series of biological mechanisms …

Heavy metals is a collective term describing metals and metalloids with a density higher
than 5 g/cm3. Some of them are essential micronutrients; others do not play a positive role in …

Environmental contamination with arsenic (As) is a global environmental, agricultural and
health issue due to the highly toxic and carcinogenic nature of As. Exposure of plants to As …

Over-production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants under stress conditions is a
common phenomenon. Plants tend to counter this problem through their ability to synthesize …

Oxidative stress is common in plants growing under extreme environments, such as water
shortage, salinity, heavy metals, and temperature extremes. To overcome oxidative stress …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that affect crop production in arid and semiarid
areas. Seed germination and seedling growth are the stages most sensitive to salinity. Salt …

This work was designed to evaluate whether external application of nitric oxide (NO) in the
form of its donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) could mitigate the deleterious …
