Heavy metal (HM)-mediated toxic effects on plants have attained considerable attention
worldwide as they directly threaten the food supply chain. Although various measures have …

Plants are often exposed to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, cold, and heavy
metals that induce complex responses, which result in reduced growth as well as crop yield …

Plants as immovable organisms sense the stressors in their environment and respond to
them by means of dedicated stress response pathways. In response to stress, jasmonates …

Drought stress is a limiting factor for wheat production and food security. Drought priming
has been shown to increase drought tolerance in wheat. However, the underlying …

Phytohormones, pivotal regulators of plant growth and development, are increasingly
recognized for their multifaceted roles in enhancing crop resilience against environmental …

With the burgeoning population of the world, the successful germination of seeds to achieve
maximum crop production is very important. Seed germination is a precise balance of …

Heavy metals can represent a threat to the health of aquatic ecosystems. Unlike organic
chemicals, heavy metals cannot be eliminated by natural processes such as their …

Plants, being sessile, have developed complex signaling and response mechanisms to
cope with biotic and abiotic stressors. Recent investigations have revealed the significant …

Microalgal energy storage compounds (carbohydrates, lipids, etc.) can serve as renewable
feedstocks for biofuels and biobased chemicals. Traditional methods of inducing the …

It is well− established that plants are sessile and photoautotrophic organisms that rely on
light throughout their entire life cycle. Light quality (spectral composition) is especially …
