Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, heat, cold, and heavy metals, are associated with
global climate change and hamper plant growth and development, affecting crop yields and …

Plant growth and resilience require balancing an inherently oxidative metabolism with
powerful antioxidant systems that help maintain homeostasis. When the environment …

Salicylic acid (SA) and proline exhibit protective effects against a wide range of stresses.
However, the combined impact of SA and proline on rice under drought stress is still …

The heavy metal contamination, which causes toxic effects on plants, has evolved into a
significant constraint to plant quality and yield. This scenario has been exacerbated by …

The climate has drastically changed over the past two decades. Rising temperatures and
climate change may lead to increased evapotranspiration, specifically soil evaporation …

The impact of proline, methionine, and melatonin on cauliflower plants under drought stress
is still unclear in the available publications. So, this research aims to study these …

Heat stress severely affects plant growth and crop production. It is therefore urgent to
uncover the mechanisms underlying heat stress responses of plants and establish the …

Agricultural soil degradation is occurring at unprecedented rates, not only as an indirect
effect of climate change (CC) but also due to intensified agricultural practices which affect …

Arsenic (As) is a metalloid pollutant that is extensively distributed in the biosphere. As is
among the most prevalent and toxic elements in the environment; it induces adverse effects …

The intake of methylmercury (MeHg)-contaminated rice poses immense health risks to rice
