Thiourea (TU) is considered an essential and emerging biostimulant against the negative impacts of severe environmental stresses, including drought stress in plants. However, knowledge about foliar application TU to mitigate
It has been established that wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) a higher Cd absorption capacity than other cereal crops causing an excess daily intake and huge threat for public health. Therefore, the reduction of accumulation in from soil is crucial food-security issue. A pot trial was performed on Cd-stressed seedlings to evaluate morphological physio-biochemical responses via foliage spray two different bio-stimulants, i.e., ascorbic acid (AsA) moringa leaf extract (MLE). Two cultivars (Fsd-08...
Abstract Mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and other toxic heavy metals (HM) pose significant risks to the environment, negatively impacting morpho-physiological biological traits of plants. At present, elements constitute a proportion food chain, exerting an impact on human health due their mobility biomagnification. The metal exclusion technique stands out for its robust performance, even when dealing with extremely low concentrations. Its eco-friendly nature...
Plants host a complex but taxonomically assembled set of microbes in their natural environment which confer several benefits to the plant including stress resilience, nutrient acquisition and increased productivity. To understand simplify intricate interactions among these microbes, an innovative approach—Synthetic Microbial Community (SynCom)—is practiced, involving intentional co-culturing multiple microbial taxa under well-defined conditions mimicking microbiomes. SynComs hold promising...
The individual application of pure and active compounds such as methionine may help to address water scarcity issues without compromising the yield wheat. As organic plant growth stimulants, amino acids are popularly used promote productivity crops. However, influence exogenous in wheat remains elusive. present investigation was planned order understand impact under drought stress. Two genotypes were allowed grow with 100% field capacity (FC) up three-leaf stage. Twenty-five-day-old...
Fusarium pseudograminearum (Fpg) is a significant pathogen responsible for fusarium crown rot (FCR) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), disease with devastating impacts on crop yield. The utilization of biocontrol bacteria to combat fungal diseases plants cost-effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable strategy. In this trial, an endophytic bacterial species, designated as SW, was isolated from the roots wheat. strain exhibited potent antagonistic effects against Fpg reduced FCR severity index by...
Wastewater irrigation is a substitute for surface water scarcity, but traces of heavy metals (HMs) result in deleterious implications soil, crop productivity, and humans. Crops presenting HMs tolerance genetic behavior are important producing tolerant genotypes cultivated under wastewater irrigation. In the first part this experiment, results obtained previously re-assessed hydroponic system similar patterns concentrations found different tomato organs. Following trial, tomato’s (Solanum...
Increased salinity stress in environment challenges the seed germination, emergence, and crop yield. The issue carefully demands priming strategies to mitigate drastic effects of salinity. Current study was conducted appraise modulation photosynthetic pigments, yield, gas exchange attributes sesame cultivars (TS-5 TH-6) pre-sowing treatment with glycinebetaine (GB) under salt stress. Seeds were treated GB (25 mM) water prior sowing for 16 h. Ten seeds each cultivar laid down on moistened...
