Salt stress is one of the major environmental stresses limiting plant growth and productivity.
To adapt to salt stress, plants have developed various strategies to integrate exogenous …

Plant growth often occurs under a range of stressful conditions, including soil acidity and
alkalinity. Hydrogen ion concentration, which determines pH of the soil, regulates the entire …

Silicon is absorbed as uncharged mono-silicic acid by plant roots through passive
absorption of Lsi1, an influx transporter belonging to the aquaporin protein family. Lsi2 then …

In plants, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed during normal conditions are essential
in regulating several processes, like stomatal physiology, pathogen immunity and …

Increased exposure to environmental stresses due to climate change have adversely
affected plant growth and productivity. Upon stress, plants activate a signaling cascade …

Key message The potential of seed priming is still not fully exploited. Our limited knowledge
of the molecular dynamics of seed pre-germinative metabolism is the main hindrance to …

Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and their destructive effects on cellular
organelles are the hallmark features of plants exposed to abiotic stresses. Plants are well …

Silicon (Si) is one of the essential and important elements that plays a vital role in the growth
and productivity of crop plants by improving their nutritional status. The exogenous …

In plants, salicylic acid (SA) is a hormone that mediates a plant's defense against pathogens.
SA also takes an active role in a plant's response to various abiotic stresses, including …

As sessile organisms, plants are unable to avoid being subjected to environmental stresses
that negatively affect their growth and productivity. Instead, they utilize various mechanisms …
