Pesticides are either natural or chemically synthesized compounds that are used to control a
variety of pests. These chemical compounds are used in a variety of sectors like food …

Plants face a variety of abiotic stresses, which generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), and
ultimately obstruct normal growth and development of plants. To prevent cellular damage …

Salinity stress negatively affects the plant's developmental stages through micronutrient
imbalance. As an essential micronutrient, ZnO can substitute Na+ absorption under saline …

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

In the current investigation, we studied role of castasterone (CS),(a bioactive
brassinosteroid) in Brassica juncea grown under imidacloprid (IMI) stress. We observed that …

Pesticides are applied all over the world to protect plants from pests. However, their
application also causes toxicity to plants, which negatively affects the growth and …

The present study focused on assessing the effects of jasmonic acid (JA) seed treatment on
the physiology of Brassica juncea seedlings grown under imidacloprid (IMI) toxicity. It has …

Salinity stress (SS) is a serious abiotic stress and a major constraint to agricultural
productivity across the globe. High SS negatively affects plant growth and yield by altering …

Nickel (Ni) is a fundamental component that assumes a vital role in managing plant growth
and development. Its acquisition in soil is presently viewed as a consequential ecological …

To protect crops from pests, pesticides are used. Pesticides also cause toxicity to crop plants
and persist in plant parts in the form of pesticide residues. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are known …
