Photosynthesis is a process that has got immense importance due to its unique role in
sustaining life on earth. Exposure to various biotic and abiotic stresses adversely affects the …

Arsenic (As) is a highly toxic contaminant in the environment. Although both inorganic and
organic types of arsenic exist in the environment, the most common inorganic forms of As …

The non-essential metalloid arsenic (As) is widely distributed in soil and underground water
of many countries. Arsenic contamination is a concern because it creates threat to food …

The objective of this research was to determine the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles
(ZnONPs) and/or salicylic acid (SA) under arsenic (As) stress on rice (Oryza sativa). ZnONPs …

Abiotic stress adversely affects plant growth and metabolism and as such reduces plant
productivity. Recognized as a major contributor in the production of reactive oxygen species …

Melatonin (MT) and hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S) are recognised as vital biomolecules actively
taking part in plant defence systems as free radical scavengers and antioxidants against a …

Melatonin, a regulatory molecule, performs pleiotropic functions in plants, including
aluminum (Al) stress mitigation. Here, we conducted transcriptomic and physiological …

At the seedling and adult plant phases, pot experiments were carried out to enhance the
physiological-biochemical characteristics of cucumber, guarantee its high yield, and ensure …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a well-known plant growth regulator, which participates in many
physiological processes of plants under normal and stressful conditions. In this study, we …

In this study, nanoplastic (NPs) at environmentally relevant concentration (0.001% w/w) had
no effect on the growth of rice, while significantly elevated the phytotoxicity of As (III) by 9.4 …
