The present study was carried out to assess the role of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) in tomato plants on growth, photosynthetic efficiency, and antioxidant system. At 20-d stage roots were dipped into 0, 2, 4, 8, or 16 mg(ZnO-NPs) L-1 for 15, 30, 45 min then seedlings transplanted their respective cups allowed grow under natural environmental conditions. 45-d ZnO-NPs treatments significantly increased efficiency together with activities carbonic anhydrase systems a concentration-...
Plant cells continually produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a by-product of aerobic metabolism. Increased production ROS occurs under unfavorable conditions imposed by various abiotic and biotic factors. Accumulation is damaging to cellular components macromolecules including plasma membrane, nucleic acids, proteins eventually leads cell death. In this protocol, we describe the histochemical detection hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) superoxide (O2-) anion, two most important ROS, in Brassica...
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are polyhydroxylated steroidal plant hormones that play pivotal role in the regulation of various growth and development processes. BR biosynthetic or signaling mutants clearly indicate these steroids essential for regulating a variety physiological processes including cellular expansion proliferation, vascular differentiation, male fertility, timing senescence, leaf development. Moreover, BRs regulate expression hundreds genes, affect activity numerous metabolic...
In recent years, heavy metals (HMs) attain lot of consideration due to their toxic nature in the environment. Natural as well anthrpogenic activities like urbanization & industrialization, use fertilizers, and waste managemgemt contamination increased HMs exposure living organisms. Due continous encountering with HMs, plants facing oxidative stress, nutritional imbalance, metaolic disturbance yield lost. Only, limited concentration are tolerable for plants, whereas higher these disrupted...
Abstract Bacterial spoilage of food products is regulated by density dependent communication system called quorum sensing (QS). QS control biofilm formation in numerous pathogens and Biofilms formed on surfaces act as carriers bacterial contamination leading to health hazards. Agents inhibiting or interfering with are gaining importance a novel class next-generation preservatives/packaging material. In the present study, Zinc nanostructures were synthesised using Nigella sativa seed extract...
Geminivirus infection often causes severe vein clearing symptoms in hosts. Recently a betasatellite has emerged as key regulator of symptom induction. To understand the host–betasatellite interactions process development, systematic study was carried out involving induced by associated with radish leaf curl disease (RaLCB) Nicotiana benthamiana. It been found that βC1 protein localized to chloroplasts host cells, and RaLCB lacking βC1, which failed produce symptoms, had no effect on...
The main aim of this study is to examine the evolving landscape agricultural socialized services and their impact on consistent growth grain production in China. Using panel data from 2007 2020, we employ Entropy Method gauge dynamic changes that have contributed steady increase production. research methods include static panel, mediator, threshold regression models investigate effects mechanisms underpinning improvement growth. empirical findings demonstrate a significantly positive...
Seeds of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. et Coss.) were exposed to 0, 50, 100 and 150 mmol/L NaCl for 8 h seeds sown in an earthen pot. These stressed seedlings subsequently sprayed with 10 micromol/L salicylic acid (SA) at 30 d sampled 60 assess the changes growth, photosynthesis antioxidant enzymes. The raised from treated had significantly reduced growth activities carbonic anhydrase, nitrate reductase photosynthesis, decrease was proportional increase concentration. However,...
The ameliorative role of 28-homobrassinolide under chilling stress in various growth, photosynthesis, enzymes and biochemical parameters cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) were investigated. Cucumber seedlings sprayed with 0 (control), 10-8, or 10-6 M at the 30-day stage. 48 h after treatment plants exposed for 18 to temperature (10/8°C, 5/3°C). most evident effect was marked reduction plant chlorophyll (Chl) content, net photosynthetic rate, efficiency photosystem II activities nitrate reductase...
Polyamines (PAs) are aliphatic polycations that widespread in living organisms. In this review, we focusing the correlation between endogenous PA titers and physiological perturbations on protective role of various analogues PAs against abiotic stresses. involved many processes, such as cell growth development also respond to diverse level shifts different ways depending several factors, plant species, tolerance or sensitivity stress, duration stress. Exogenously supplied protected plants...
In plants, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) acts as a signalling molecule that facilitates various biochemical and physiological processes. H2O2 is versatile molecule, involved in several cellular processes both under stress stress-free conditions. regulating plant metabolism conditions, exogenous application of also plays pivotal role which manifested improved growth, photosynthetic capacity, antioxidant protection. Abiotic an inevitable environmental factor extensively affects reduces quality,...
