Some alternative control strategies of currently emerging plant diseases are based on the
use of resistance inducers. This review highlights the recent advances made in the …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on synthetic plant growth regulators and discusses
their effects on the yield of economic crops. Efforts to optimize crop yields are directed …

Biotic and abiotic stresses are the main problems affecting agricultural losses.
Consequently, understanding the mechanisms underlying plant resistance or tolerance …

Menadione sodium bisulphite (MSB) mediates plant defense responses under abiotic
stresses. In present experiment, Cd stress (1 mM) resulted in significant reduction in growth …

The outcome of plant-pathogen interactions is influenced significantly by endogenous small
molecules that coordinate plant defence responses. There is currently tremendous scientific …

Abstract Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the main endogenous auxin, has been known for
decades to be a key regulator for plant growth and development. Multiple routes have been …

Salinity and drought are considered significant abiotic plant stressors with major impact on
plant development that causes serious agricultural yield losses. Amongst the strategies to …

The soilborne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense is the causal agent of banana
vascular wilt disease named Panama disease and one of the most serious threats to banana …

Pretreatment of the first true leaves of oilseed rape plants (Brassica napus cv. Bristol) with
menadione sodium bisulphite (MSB) locally and systemically induced resistance, as shown …

Salinity, being a major environmental constraint, impedes plant growth and productivity
worldwide. Menadione sodium bisulfite (MSB) was previously studied as activator of plant …
