Soil salinization is one of the major environmental stressors hampering the growth and yield
of crops all over the world. A wide spectrum of physiological and biochemical alterations of …

Ethylene is a gaseous plant growth hormone that regulates various plant developmental
processes, ranging from seed germination to senescence. The mechanisms underlying …

Salinity stress hampers the growth of most crop plants and reduces yield considerably.
Therefore, experiments were conducted on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants for studying …

Background Soil pollution by heavy metals increases the bioavailability of metals like
hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)), subsequently limiting plant growth and reducing the …

Given their sessile nature, plants continuously face unfavorable conditions throughout their
life cycle, including water scarcity, extreme temperatures and soil pollution. Among all, metal …

We studied the role of H 2 O 2 in the protection of photosynthesis from arsenic (As) damage
in rice (Oryza sativa L.) by examining the antioxidant system, photosynthesis, and growth …

Chromium (Cr) is becoming a potential pollutant with the passage of time. Higher intake of
Cr does not only affect the productivity of crops, but also the quality of food produced in Cr …

Abiotic stress adversely affects plant growth and metabolism and as such reduces plant
productivity. Recognized as a major contributor in the production of reactive oxygen species …

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of arsenic (As) toxicity and the
mitigating role of nitric oxide (NO) donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on Vicia faba. Arsenics …

The plant growth regulator, jasmonic acid (JA) has emerged as important molecule and
