In this study, an endophytic fungus, Aspergillus niger CSR3, was isolated from Cannabis sativa. The culture filtrate (CF) initially screened for growth-promoting activities such as the presence of siderophores, phosphate solubilization, and production indole acetic acid (IAA) gibberellins further assayed its ability to promote growth mutant waito-C rice. Nearly all plant attributes examined (root–shoot length, biomass, chlorophyll content) were significantly enhanced by treatment with CSR3....
Waterlogging stress (WS) induces ethylene (ET) and polyamine (spermine, putrescine, spermidine) production in plants, but their reprogramming is a decisive element for determining the fate of plant upon waterlogging-induced stress. WS can be challenged by exploring symbiotic microbes that improve plant’s ability to grow better resist WS. The present study deals with identification application 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase-producing fungal endophyte Trichoderma...
Climate change is a major cause of the world's food security problems, and soil salinity severe hazard for variety crops.

Global climate change has imposed harsh environmental conditions such as drought. Naturally, the most compatible fungal consortia operate synergistically to enhance plant growth and ecophysiological responses against abiotic strains. Yet, little is known about interactions between phytohormone-producing endophytic symbionts under drought stress. The existing research was rationalized recognize role of newly isolated drought-resistant, antioxidant-rich hosting a xerophytic plant, Carthamus...
Abstract Background In the list of abiotic stresses, salt stress is a main growth retarding factor which affects 7% rain-fed while 30% worldwide irrigated agriculture. However, various strategies are assumed to manage this problem, but use endophytes cheap and eco-friendly. The goal study was evaluate behavior endophytic Aspergillus awamori (EWF) in creating tolerance mung bean terms its seedling growth, biochemical indices, antioxidant enzymes, endogenous IAA, ionic status plant. Results...
Abstract Due to the synergetic effects of several types nanomaterials, primary goal hybrid nanofluid is enhance energy transport capabilities over a base fluid. Hybrid nanofluids have wide range applications in industrial, technical, and medical industries, including solar heating systems, food processing, microchannel heat sinks (MCHS), medicines. In this article, researchers investigated water‐based flow comprising silver alumina nanoparticles past spinning disk. The effect Brownian...
Abiotic stressors are global limiting constraints for plant growth and development. The most severe abiotic factor suppression is salt. Among many field crops, maize more vulnerable to salt, which inhibits the development of plants results in low productivity or even crop loss under extreme salinity. Consequently, comprehending effects salt stress on improvement, while retaining high applying mitigation strategies, essential achieving long-term objective sustainable food security. This study...
Downy mildew (DM), caused by
Drought has become more prevalent due to dramatic climate change worldwide. Consequently, the most compatible fungal communities collaborate boost plant development and ecophysiological responses under environmental constraints. However, little is known about specific interactions between non-host plants endophytic symbionts that produce growth-promoting stress-alleviating hormones during water deficits.The current research was rationalized aimed at exploring influence of newly isolated,...
Salinity stress has hindered the growth and yield of crops globally. The demands for inducing salt tolerance by natural biological sources with potent antioxidants growth-promoting metabolites have been main focus recent era. Therefore, current research was conducted to extract tolerance-ameliorating hormones from marine brown macroalgae Sargassum wightii Greville ex J. Agardh maximum antioxidant potential used as a liquid fertilizer okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus L.). In study, biochemical...
Saline environments for plants have a negative impact on their biochemical, molecular, and physiological features, resulting in loss plant growth yield most parts of the world. Hormonal imbalance, ionic toxicity, ROS production, impaired nutrient mobilization, osmotic stress all contribute to loss. The symbiotic connection several endophytes with host has improved tolerance various abiotic challenges recent years. So, current study aimed see how Aspergillus japonicus salinity affected...
This article presents a numerical analysis of the water-based hybrid nanofluid comprehending CuO and Fe3O4 nanoparticles between two rotating disks. The bottom top disks each revolve around their respective axes rotation. are positioned apart from one another. Along with Brownian motion thermophoresis, it is intended that flow will be electrically conducting, thermally radiative, chemically reactive. heat mass transportation also given attention in this study since they crucial for industry,...
Salt stress is one of the abiotic stresses which negatively affects growth and yield different plants world-wide.The purpose present investigation was to analyze physiological biochemical parameters maize exposed salt with or without fungal association.The results indicated that salinity affected attributes, ionic status in maize.In contrast, WSQ association has improved parameters, antioxidant enzyme activity, IAA metabolites, N, P, Ca, K Mg concentrations maize.Moreover, reduced...
Rapid industrialization and global warming have threatened the plants with multiple abiotic stresses, such as heavy metals drought stress. For crop cultivation, conventional approach of cleaning soils by excavation is very costly not feasible for large scale. Establishing toxin-free drought-resistant crops a major challenge in environment under natural anthropogenic pressure. In past decades, copper contamination agricultural land has become an emerging concern. dry reclamation, several new...
