Water scarcity is a major challenge to wheat productivity under changing climate conditions, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. During recent years, different agronomic, physiological molecular approaches have been used overcome the problems related drought stress. Breeding approaches, including conventional modern breeding, are among most efficient options stress through development of new varieties adapted drought. Growing drought-tolerant genotypes may be sustainable option boost...
Increasing human population and changing climate, which have given rise to frequent drought spells, pose a serious threat global food security, while identification of high yielding tolerant genotypes remains proficient approach cope with these challenges. To offer methodology for the evaluation drought-tolerant wheat based on pheno-physiological traits, field experiment was executed, entailing four viz. BARI Gom 26, BAW 1158, 1167, 1169 two water conditions control treatment (three times...
Plant growth regulators are naturally biosynthesized chemicals in plants that influence physiological processes. Their synthetic analogous trigger numerous biochemical and processes involved the development of plants. Nowadays, due to changing climatic scenario, biotic abiotic stresses hamper seed germination, seedling growth, plant leading a decline biological economic yields. However, (PGRs) can potentially play fundamental role regulating responses various hence, contribute adaptation...
Wheat is an important cereal crop, which adversely affected by water deficit stress. The effect of induced stress can be reduced the application salicylic acid (SA). With objective to combat drought in wheat, experiment was conducted greenhouse under hydroponic conditions. treatments consisted (a) no (DD0 = 0 MPa), mild (DD1 -0.40 MPa) and severe (DD2 -0.60 applying PEG-8000, (b) two contrasting wheat varieties Barani-17 (drought tolerant) Anaj-17 (drought-sensitive), (c) foliar (0, 50 mM,...
Being sessile organisms, plants cannot escape unwanted changes in the environment. The rapid human population explosion caused significant environmental problems. Heavy metals produced through various sources can cause severe damage to living organisms. study was planned evaluate four grass species' morpho-physiological growth characteristics and phytoremediation capabilities under chromium (Cr) lead stress (Pb) arid climate. Typha angustifolia, Tragus roxburghii, Aeluropus logopoides,...
Abiotic stressors are major constraints that affect agricultural plant physio-morphological and biochemical attributes, resulting in a loss of normal functioning and, eventually, severe decline crop productivity. The co-occurrence different abiotic stresses, rather than specific stress situation, can alter or trigger wide range responses, such as altered metabolism, stunted growth, restricted development. Therefore, systematic rigorous studies pivotal for understanding the impact concurrent...
The calcium (Ca+2) molecules being an important intracellular messenger are involved in various signal transduction mechanisms plants. Many external stimuli such as drought, cold, heat stress, metalloid stress (copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), and arsenic), flooding, salinity increase the free Ca+2 ions cytosol. H+/Ca+2 antiporters Ca+2-ATPases actively transport cytosolic organelles or apoplasts. Increase concentration is sensed by calcium-binding proteins Ca+2-sensors which lead to...
The seed industry and farmers have challenges, which include the production of poor quality non-certified tomato seed, ultimately results in decreased crop production. issue carefully demands pre-sowing treatments using exogenous chemical plant growth-promoting substances. Therefore, to mitigate above-stated problem, a series experiments were conducted improve seeds (two cultivars, i.e., “Sundar” “Ahmar”) enhance stand establishment, vigor, physiological, biochemical attributes under growth...
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is one of the most important industrial cash crops, contributing to world sugar industry and biofuel production. It has been cultivated improved from prehistoric times through natural selection conventional breeding and, more recently, using modern tools genetic engineering biotechnology. However, heterogenicity, complex poly-aneuploid genome susceptibility sugarcane different biotic abiotic stresses represent impediments that require us pay greater attention...
Accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) by ornamental plants (OPs) from contaminated agriculture soils is a unique technique that can efficiently reduce the metal load in food chain. Amaranthus tricolor L. has attractive characteristics acquiring higher growth rate and large biomass when grown at soils. Site-specific detailed information not available on use A. plant phytoremediation polluted sites. The study aimed to enhance uptake HMs (Pb, Zn, Cu) via amending poultry litter extract (PLE),...
Copper (Cu) is an essential metal for plants. However, its excess in soil can adversely affect plant metabolism. The current study evaluated the effects of gibberellic acid (GA3) foliar applications on performance pea plants grown either Cu-contaminated (Cu+) and non-contaminated (Cu−) soil. GA3 was sprayed (0, 10, 50, 100 mg·L−1) 15-days-old results showed that increasing concentration buffered phytotoxic Cu enhanced growth, photosynthesis, leaf chlorophyll content. Foliar-sprayed up to...
The response of different wheat cultivars to drought imposed after three and six weeks seedling emergence was evaluated in the wire house. seeds recommended local were sown plastic pots. stress decreased water relation, nutrient uptake grain yield all cultivars. early significantly reduced nitrogen (N) by 38% while late 46%. phosphorus (P) potassium (K) 49% 37% under stress, respectively their 51% each stress. Grain 24% it 60% Water deficit at growth stages weight 10% 35% later growth.
A novel, functionalized graphene oxide–based cellulose acetate membrane was fabricated using the phase inversion method to improve characteristics and performance. We studied effect of aminated oxide (NH2–GO) composite on CA performance in terms chemistry, hydrophilicity, thermal mechanical stability, permeation flux, antibacterial activity. The results contact angle water flux indicate improved hydrophilic behavior membranes comparison that pure membrane. AGO-3 showed highest about 153...
Tea tree oil (TTO) from the genus Melaleuca L. has antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties is used by cosmetic, pharmaceutical, horticultural industries. In Pakistan, bracteata can be exploited for essential purposes, as this species well adapted to Pakistan’s agroclimatic conditions. The objective of present study was evaluate yield M. together with its antimicrobial under local prevailing conditions subtropics. Essential extracted through hydrodistillation...

Sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV) is one of the most prevalent viruses deteriorating sugarcane production. Salicylic acid (SA) plays an essential role in defense mechanism plants and its exogenous application has been observed to induce resistance against biotic abiotic stressors. In this study, we set out investigate by which sorghum infected responds SA treatment two cultivars, i.e., ROC22 Xuezhe. Notably, significantly low viral populations were at different time points (except for 28 d ROC22)...
