Abstract In order to assess the effects of green synthesized nanoparticles (GNPs) Zn and Fe oxides on plant growth traits, photosynthetic capacity nutritional quality red radish (cv. Champion), two open field experiments were organised based RCBD with four replicates. Treatments included: chicken manure, foliar application ZnO + FeO (GNPs at a rate 60 50 ppm, respectively), manure plus (GNPs). This study revealed that yield plants significantly increased by application. The maximum...
Ascorbic acid is considered to be one of the most important antioxidants in plants and plays a vital role adaptation unfavorable conditions. In present study, an ascorbate oxidase gene (Solyc04g054690) was over-expressed cherry tomato cv. West Virginia 106 lines compared with previously studied RNAi silenced lines. Two lower activity (AO−15 AO−42), two elevated (AO+14 AO+16), non-transgenic line (WVa106) were grown irrigated 75 mM 150 NaCl 2015 2016. Growth, yield, chemical composition under...
Water salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses, and use saline water for agricultural sector will incur greater demand in coming decades. Recently, nanoparticles (NPs) have been used developing numerous plant fertilizers as a smart powerful form material with dual action that can alleviate adverse effects provide more efficient nutrient forms. This study evaluated influence calcium phosphate NPs (CaP-NPs) soil fertilizer application on production bioactive compounds broad bean plants...
Tomatoes are perishable fruit that makes them deteriorate rapidly during the post-harvest chain. Therefore, effect of calcium chloride (CaCl2), chitosan, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and ozonated water on storage abil\ity quality tomato (Solanumlycopersicum L. cv. 448) stored at 10 °C for 28 d was studied. Weight loss, firmness, color, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity, carotenoids, ascorbic acid content (AsA) treated were recorded. Our results revealed all tested treatments...
This study aims to determine the influence of grafting and nano-silicon fertilizer on growth production tomatoes (Solanumlycopersicum L.) under salinity conditions. A commercial tomato hybrid (cv. Strain B) was used as a scion two phenotypes were rootstocks: S. pimpinellifolium Edkawy. The rootstock effect evaluated by growing plants at NaCl concentrations plus control (0, 4000, 8000 ppm NaCl). Nano-silicon foliar application (0.5 ppm) after 20, 28, 36 days from transplanting also mitigate...
The impact of proline, methionine, and melatonin on cauliflower plants under drought stress is still unclear in the available publications. So, this research aims to study these biochemical compounds’ effects grown well-irrigated drought-stressed conditions. obtained results showed that conditions, foliar application significantly (p ≤ 0.05) enhanced leaf area, chlorophyll content, relative water content (RWC), vitamin C, total soluble sugar, reducing non-reducing sugar compared untreated...
In the current study, we investigated effect of potassium humate (Kh) and salicylic acid (SA) in mitigating salinity stress common bean plants. Common seedlings were treated with 0.2 g/L SA as a foliar application 0.3 Kh soil individually or combination. After 7 days germination, plants 50 mM NaCl normal water control. Our results indicate that salt treatment reduced plant growth (fresh dry shoots roots), leaf pigments (total chlorophyll carotenoids), ascorbic (AA), glutathione (GSH), (K)...
The use of saline water for plant production will become increasingly necessary over future decades. In some cases, fruit quality such as in tomato, can be improved by irrigation with water. influence different salt concentrations on physiological responses and the expression selected genes cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L), cv. West Virginia 106, was examined. Tomato plants were grown peatmoss substrate irrigated 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 or 150 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) a glasshouse. NaCl...
Phytochemicals derived from agro-industrial waste materials could be employed as functional food additives and natural antioxidants to replace their synthetic counterparts, which are increasingly being rejected. The current study aims assess total phenolic compound (TPC), flavonoids, betalain contents, antiradical scavenging using DPPH IC50% of dried red beetroot peel (DRBP) extract at different concentrations 50, 80, 100, 150, 200 mg/100 mL t. In addition, a characterization phenols...
This study aims to predict the behavior of different tomato rootstocks under drought stress conditions. SCoT and CDDP analyses were employed characterize genetic relatedness among a commercial drought-sensitive hybrid (cv. Bark) four wild accessions (LA2711, LA1995, LA3845, LA4285) known for their tolerance adverse The Bark plants grafted onto aforementioned self-grafted as control, then all graft unions was followed normal Our results showed general genotype-dependent better growth yield...
Alternative strategies are being utilised to extend the storage ability and preserve quality of crops including bitter gourd. The present study was conducted assess potential beeswax (BW) lemongrass oil (LO) on shelf life Alternaria alternata disease gourd during cold storage. experiment included following treatments: (1) distilled water (control), (2) BW 5%, (3) 10%, (4) 5% + LO 0.5%, (5) 10% 0.5%. gourds were stored at 25°C for 15 days. results revealed that 0.5% proved be best treatment...
A field study was conducted in 2016–2017 and 2017–2018 to evaluate the effects of air injection into an irrigation stream during subsurface drip (SDI) process on nutritional values productivity potato grown clay loam soil. Two treatments (non-aerated aerated) six fertilizer applications (chicken, cow, rabbit, compost, mineral, chicken + biochar) were compared. In first growing season, maximum yield occurred under aerated treatment with cow (36.25 ton ha−1), while minimum non-aerated (24.00...
BACKGROUND:Strawberry is one of the most highly consumed fruits worldwide. However, it a perishable fruit postharvest. OBJECTIVE:To assess effect dipping strawberry after harvest in plant growth regulators to maintain postharvest quality. METHODS:Treatments tested were: 2 an d 4 mM salicylic acid (SA), 0.25 and 0.50 abscisic (ABA) methyl jasmonate at (MeJA). Bioactive compounds fungal were assessed over 12 days storage 4°C. RESULTS:Both concentrations SA MeJA significantly suppressed weight...
This study aims to determine grafting’s efficiency improve tomato growth and production under salinity stress conditions. A commercial hybrid (cv. Bark) eight wild accessions were evaluated at molecular, physiological agronomic levels. At the molecular level, two robust gene-targeting marker systems (Conserved DNA-Derived Polymorphism; CDDP Start Codon Targeted SCoT) employed. Bark cv. was grafted as a scion onto four genotypes’ roots stocks. The rootstocks effect by growing plants 0, 100...
Cysteine (Cys) and α-lipoic acid (ALA) are naturally occurring antioxidants (sulfur-containing compounds) that can protect plants against a wide spectrum of environmental stresses. However, up to now, there no conclusive data on their integrative roles in mitigation drought stress wheat plants. Here, we studied the influence ALA at 0.02 mM (grain dipping pre-cultivation treatment) Cys (25 50 ppm as foliar application) under well watered deficit irrigation (100% 70% recommended dose). The...

Coatings that reduce the fat content of fried food are an alternate option to reach both health concerns and consumer demand. Mucilage garden cress (Lepidium sativum) seed extract (MSE) was modified into edible coating with or without ascorbic acid (AA) coat fresh-cut potato strips during cold storage (5 °C 95% RH for 12 days) subsequent frying. Physical attributes such as color, weight loss, texture coated MSE solutions AA showed coatings efficiently delayed browning, reduced maintained...
Green beans are a perishable crop, which deteriorate rapidly after harvest, particularly when minimally processed into ready-to-eat fresh-cut green beans. This study investigated the effectiveness of ethanol, ascorbic acid (AsA), tea tree essential oil (TTO), and peppermint (PMO) on quality storability bean pods samples stored at 5 °C for 15 days. Our results indicated that treated with AsA, TTO, PMO preserved appearance, firmness (except ethanol), chlorophyll content, moisture compared...
The importance of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) consumption has increased in recent years due to its significant amount anticarcinogenic and antioxidant compounds, as well many vitamins.
