Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are natural by products of cellular metabolism that were initially considered only deleterious towards the macromolecules. Research advances have broadened scope and now numerous studies available rendering ROS molecules essential for plants to combat several biotic abiotic stresses after being involved in defense mechanisms such as hypersensitivity reactions (HR) lead programmed cell death (PCD), wall reinforcement cross-linking glycoproteins with other...
Salinity poses serious threats to landscapes across the globe, decreasing capacity of all types terrestrial ecosystems in providing services by threatening our biodiversity, lowering agricultural productivity, deteriorating environment, contaminating groundwater below standard level, enhancing flood risks, food security issues and restricting economic growth a community. Reclamation measures are required reverse process land degradation caused salinization; otherwise, trend towards...
Garlic has the charisma of a potent remedy and holds its repute therapeutic panacea since dawn civilization. An integrated approach was adopted to evaluate genetic diversity among Chinese garlic cultivars for their antifungal potency as well allicin content distribution and, furthermore; bioassay performed study bio-stimulation mechanism aqueous extracts (AGE) in growth physiology cucumber (Cucumis sativus). Initially, 28 were evaluated against four kinds phytopathogenic fungi; Fusarium...
Biostimulants are the next-generation choice for sustainable agricultural production and gradually becoming an alternative to synthetic chemicals. Various botanicals proposed exert stimulatory effects, garlic allelochemicals among such botanicals; however, a peer-reviewed scientific evaluation is required understand garlic-derived substances as biostimulants. Current studies were therefore performed identify bioactivity of extract biostimulant improve crop quality, alter its physiological...
Recently, botanical extracts are gaining popularity as biostimulants in vegetable production. In present study, the effect of aqueous garlic bulb extract (AGE) was studied on growth and physiology eggplant grown plastic tunnel. AGE foliage sprayed with various frequencies, i.e., 0, S1 (once), S2 (twice) S3 (three times) at two independent stages, pre- post-transplant. The results showed that treated plants exhibited stimulatory responses accord repetition spray stages plants, respectively. A...
In developing countries, Cd contamination is ubiquitous which limits agriculture productivity. The current study was designed to investigate the efficacy of plant—Bacillus pumilus—ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and plant-microbe-chelator (PMC) synergy for enhanced plant growth Cd-uptake potential Zea mays in industrially contaminated cadmium (Cd) spiked soil. A pot experiment conducted by growing Z. seedlings either inoculated with B. pumilus or un-inoculated along application 5 mM...
Salinity is one of the major obstacles in agriculture industry causing huge losses productivity. Several strategies such as plant growth regulators with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been used to decrease negative effects salt stress. In our experiment, 28-homobrassinolide (HBL) spraying intervals was combined AMF (Glomus versiforme) cucumber cultivars Jinyou 1# (salt sensitive) and (Changchun mici, short, CCMC, tolerant) under NaCl (100 mmol/L). Studies documented that foliar...
The current study was aimed to evaluate the seed priming potential of AGE (aqueous garlic extracts) enhance germination and early seedling growth eggplant. Different concentrations (100, 200, 300 µg mL−1) were evaluated along with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) salicylic acid (SA), plant regulators reported whereas, water taken as a control treatment. Eggplant seeds primed for 4-, 8-, 12-h traits such rate index, percentage, mean time, fresh dry weights, root, shoot lengths observed. Moreover,...
Growth and bulb development in garlic is affected considerably by variations photoperiod temperature thereby influencing its morphology, physiology, nutritive quality. Varied combinations of photoperiods temperatures may influence the quality, can determine suitability a cultivar for particular region. Experiments were conducted to study impact different on growth, morpho-physiology, quality bulb. Three cultivars viz; G103, G024, G2011-5 exposed (8 h/16 h, 10 h/14 12 h/12 14 h/10 16 h/8 h...
A hydroponic co-culture system was adopted to determine the allelopathic potential of garlic on growth pepper plants. Different numbers plants (0, 2, 4, 8 and 12) were hydroponically co-cultured with two investigate effects attributes antioxidative defense test The responses depended number included in system, indicating an association root exudate concentration. When grown at a pepper/garlic ratio 1:1 or 1:2, plant height, chlorophyll content, peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) phenylalanine...
Aqueous garlic extracts (AGE) and allelochemical diallyl disulfide (DADS) have been recently reported to bear bioactive properties stimulate plant growth development alter defense-related physiology. We, therefore, performed a bioassay study these chemicals as possible biostimulants for defense against Verticillium dahliae in eggplant seedlings. AGE DADS were applied foliar application the eggplants samples collected before after pathogen inoculation at various intervals analyze mechanism....
The effects of aqueous garlic extracts (AGEs), diallyl disulfide (DADS), and allicin (AAS) were investigated during seed-to-seedling transition tomato. Independent bioassays performed including seed priming with AGE (0, 100, 200 µg∙mL-1), germination under the allelochemical influence AGE, DADS, AAS, volatile application AGE. Noticeable differences in indices seedling growth (particularly root fresh weights) observed a dose-dependent manner. When germinated 50 mM NaCl, seeds primed exhibited...
