Under a changing climate, kee** the food supply steady for an ever-increasing population
will require crop plants adapted to environmental fluctuations. Genetic engineering and …

Abiotic and biotic stresses hamper our agricultural productivity by reducing crop growth,
leading to food crises all over the globe. At present, the main objective of environmentalists …

The foremost challenge in farming is the storage of seeds after harvest and maintaining
seed quality during storage. In agriculture, studies showed positive impacts of …

Although, silicon–the second most abundant element in the earth crust could not supersede
carbon (C) in the competition of being the building block of life during evolution, yet its …

Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising field with the potential to revolutionize
agriculture, particularly in enhancing plant defense mechanisms. Nanoparticles (NPs) are …

Abiotic stress globally has imposed the sternest environmental issues which enforce a
significant impact on agricultural food production. Particularly, salinity, drought, heavy metal …
