In this investigation, the effect of salt stress on Portulaca oleracea L. was monitored at salinity levels 100 and 300 mM NaCl. At a concentration NaCl there decrease in stomatal conductance (gs) simultaneously with an increase CO2 assimilation (A) beginning exposure (day 3). However, leaf water potential (ψw), substomatal (Ci), maximum quantum yield photosystem II (Fv/Fm), proline malondialdehyde (MDA) content remained unchanged. Exposure to caused gs from day 3 potential, assimilation,...
Salt stress severely reduces growth and yield of plants. Considering the positive effects selenium (Se) chitosan (Cs) separately against abiotic stress, in these experiments, we synthesized chitosan–selenium nanoparticles (Cs–Se NPs) investigated their ability to reduce negative salt on some biochemical parameters bitter melon (Momordica charantia). Bitter plants were grown at three NaCl salinity levels (0, 50, 100 mM) a foliar spray Cs–Se NPs 10, 20 mg L−1) was applied. Some key...
Lipoic acid (LA) and melatonin (MT) are pleiotropic molecules participating in plant stress resistance by modulating cellular biochemical changes, ion homeostasis, antioxidant enzyme activities. However, the combined role of these two counteracting detrimental impacts salinity is still unknown. In present study, we determined effects exogenous LA (0.5 µM), MT (1 µM) their combination (LA + MT) on growth performance biomass accumulation, photosynthetic pigments, enzymatic non-enzymatic...
Synthetic fertilizer and herbicides encompass the largest share in nutrient weed management on food grain crops that create serious environmental issues. Integrated non-chemical approaches may help to reduce chemical load environment, maintaining higher control efficiency yield. A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive monsoon seasons during 2015 2016 farm fields develop a profitable sustainable rice production system through integrated practices. varied combination of nutrients...
Salt stress is one of the most serious environmental stressors that affect productivity salt-sensitive crops. Medicago ciliaris an annual legume whose adaptation to agroclimatic conditions has not been well described. This study focused on salinity tolerance M. genotypes compared intertexta and scutellata in terms plant growth, physiology, biochemistry. was determined at both germination early seedling growth. Germination hydroponic assays were used with exposing seeds 0, 50, 100, 150, 200...
There are 11 different varieties of Beta vulgaris L. that used in the food industry, including sugar beets, beetroots, Swiss chard, and fodder beets. The typical red coloration their tissues is caused by indole-derived glycosides known as betalains were analyzed hypocotyl extracts UV/Vis spectrophotometry to determine content betacyanins (betanin) betaxanthins (vulgaxanthin I) constituents total betalain content. Fields beet crops use be also infested wild hybrids related B. subsp. maritima...
Nanomaterials (NMs) are emerging novel tools for preserving quality, enhancing shelf life, and ensuring food safety. Owing to the distinctive physicochemical characters, engineered NMs under varying sizes dimensions have great potentials application in manufacturing, packaging, processing, safety of quality agrifood. The promise various kinds that useful industries has opened a possibility new revolution agroprocessing both advanced nations. rapid advancement nanoscience provided impact on...
Crops, such as white cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata (L.) f. alba), are often infested by herbivorous insects that consume the leaves directly or lay eggs with subsequent injury caterpillars. The plants can produce various defensive metabolites free radicals repel to avert further damage. To study production and effects of these compounds, large butterflies, Pieris brassicae flea beetles, Phyllotreta nemorum, were captured in a field applied cultivated lab. After insect...
Arsenic contamination in the rice agro-ecosystem, its consequent spread into food chain, and adverse impact are a global concern. However, assessment of arsenic on qualitative aspect post-harvest phase has not been attempted. We laid down this particular experiment with aim to assess how influences grain quality attributes other elemental profiles four popular varieties. The entire field study was conducted lower Indo-Gangetic plain from genotype (four) environment (14 locations) interaction...
Rice blast is considered one of the most important fungal diseases rice. Although can be managed by using resistant cultivars, pathogen has successfully overcome single gene resistance in a short period and rendered several varieties susceptible to which were otherwise intended resistant. As such, chemical control still efficient method disease for reducing losses caused due diseases. Field experiments conducted over two successive years, 2018 2019, temperate rice growing areas northern...
Climatic conditions play a significant role in the development of citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri pv . ( Xcc ). Citrus is regarded as one major threats being faced industry growing countries world. factors exert impacts on growth stage, host susceptibility, succulence, vigor, survival, multiplication rate, pathogen dispersion, spore penetration and germination. Predicting climatic these traits could aid effective management strategies against disease. This study predicted...
This study analyzes the effects of acetaminophen (APAP) as a contaminant on physiological characteristics lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa L.). Experiments were provided in an experimental greenhouse with semi-controlled conditions. The effect different amounts was evaluated by using regression analysis. Plants grown five concentrations APAP: 0 µM, 5 50 500 and mM for 14 days two variants, acute chronic. obtained results show that monitored parameters demonstrably influenced variant. are more...
Soil salinity and heavy metal (HM) pollution of soil is an ongoing threat to the plants’ survival that adversely affect crop productivity global food security. Therefore, eco-friendly solution highly desirable for mitigating adverse toxic pollutants in plants soils. This study was aimed explore how municipal solid waste compost (CO) or farmyard manure (M) supplementation regulates biomass yield, mineral nutritions under salinity, distribution profile pullutants ( Medicago sativa L.) sorghum...
The relationship between vegetation and selected soil characteristics in different monoculture forest types was investigated as part of a landscape restoration project after brown coal mining. Six were selected: alder (Alnus sp.), spruce (Picea pine (Pinus larch (Larix long-term deciduous (Quercus robur, Tilia created by spontaneous succession. These stands classified into two age categories (younger older). attributes, C/N, TC, TN, pH, A horizon depth assessed. observed species categorized...
Abstract The spoil heaps from brown coal mining without technical reclamation are interesting specific sites for ecological relationships observation. This research was aimed at investigating whether topographic features, which determine soil nutrient and moisture distribution, in combination with fauna (wireworm earthworm) presence, affect plant community composition a spontaneously revegetated post area an undulating surface. Two of different age three types features were selected,...
The goal of this study was to determine whether the application gibberellic acid (GA3) seeds common wheat varieties with different vernalization and photoperiod requirements affects transition from vegetative generative stage. Three sensitivities were selected for experiment—the winter varieties, Mironovskaya Bezostaya, spring variety, Sirael. Seeds treated concentrations GA3 plants grown under long-day conditions monitoring their photosynthetic activity (Fv/Fm, Pn, E, gs). We monitored...
A novel antimicrobial formulation based on carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) spray-coated Cu2+ intercalated montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposite material was prepared and its morphology, internal structure, bonding interactions were studied.
