Soil salinity is a serious problem facing many countries globally, especially those with semi-
arid and arid climates. Soil salinity can have negative influences on soil microbial activity as …

This study aimed at investigating the influence of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on salt
homeostasis under 100 mM NaCl stress in maize (Zea mays L. cv. Kaveri 50) through 3 and …

In this work, we systematically investigated how cell wall and cell wall components affect the
delivery of charged carbon quantum dots (CDs, from− 34 to+ 41 mV) to leaf cells of …

Drought alters plant physiology, morphology, and biochemical pathways, necessitating
effective mitigation strategies. Strigolactones (SLs) are phytohormones known to enhance …

Conventional agrochemicals are underutilized due to their large particle sizes, poor foliar
retention rates, and difficult translocation in plants, and the development of functional …

Salinization is a global agricultural problem with many negative effects on crops, including
delaying germination, inhibiting growth, and reducing crop yield and quality. This study …

The practical utilization rates of conventional pesticide formulations by target organisms are
very low, which results in the pollution of ecological environments and the formation of …

Dirigent (DIR) proteins play essential roles in regulating plant growth and development, as
well as enhancing resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the whole-genome …

Salt stress poses a significant threat to global crop yield, prompting the need for
understanding stress responses in crops like barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). This study …

Carbonate stress has profound impacts on both agricultural and industrial production.
Although a number of salinity-tolerant genes have been reported and applied in plants …
