Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a mode of photosynthesis that evolved in response
to decreasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere some 20 million years ago. An elevated ratio of …

Drought and salinity are the main limiting factors negatively affect plant growth and
productivity. Proline is recently reported to play a positive role in plants exposed to various …

Excessive reliance on chemical fertilizer (CF) in conventional farming is a serious concern
owing to its negative effects on soil health, the environment, and crop productivity. Organic …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are ubiquitous in natural habitats and
the risks their presence poses to marine environments and organisms are of increasing …

The combined use of organic manure and chemical fertilizer (CF) is considered to be a good
method for sustaining high crop yields and improving soil quality. We performed a field …

The effect of high-temperature situations leads to a significant reduction in yield. The
elevated temperature on crops is expected to have a widespread negative effect as a …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of maleic acid (MA), salicylic acid (SA),
and citric acid (CA) on alleviating the drought stress of a lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) …

Plant drought tolerance depends on adaptations of the photosynthetic apparatus to
changing environments triggered by water deficit. The seedlings of three Brassica crops …

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is a highly nutritious, desirable green leafy vegetable, which
is less tolerant to drought. This study was conducted to establish the impact of a natural bio …

Plant salt tolerance is controlled by various physiological processes such as water and ion
homeostasis, photosynthesis, and cellular redox balance, which are in turn controlled by …
