For maize, the potential preventive role of foliar spraying with an extract derived from maize grain (MEg, 2%), silymarin (Sm, 0.5 mM), or silymarin-enriched MEg (MEg-Sm) in attenuating stress effects cadmium (Cd, mM) was examined using a completely randomized design layout. Under normal conditions, MEg, Sm, MEg-Sm beneficial (with preferred) for plants, whereas benefit more pronounced under Cd stress. The use through irrigation water decreased plant growth traits, photosynthetic efficiency,...
Drought stress in arid regions is a serious factor affecting yield quantity and quality of economic crops. Under drought conditions, the application nano-elements nano-agents water retention improved use efficiency, growth performance, drought-stressed plants. For this objective, two field experiments were performed organized as randomized complete block designs with six replications. The treatments included kaolin (5 t. ha
Exogenous application of iron (Fe) may alleviate salinity stress in plants growing saline soils. This comparative study evaluated the residual effects nanoparticles (FNp) with two other Fe sources including iron-sulphate (FS) and iron-chelate (FC) on maize (
Drought and heat stress are potential problems that can reduce wheat yield, particularly during the terminal growth stages in arid semiarid regions of world. The current study intended to examine impact individual combined drought on biochemical contents (antioxidant enzymes, proline, soluble proteins, sugars), physiological parameters (chlorophyll content, cell membrane stability, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration), plant-water relations (relative water potential, osmotic...
In the face of escalating environmental challenges, understanding crop responses to abiotic stress is pivotal for sustainable agriculture. The present study meticulously investigates intricate interplay between drought and salinity in barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.). Employing three distinct genotypes—Traveller, Prunella, Zahna—we scrutinize their physiological, biochemical, molecular adaptations under conditions. Our findings underscore genotype-specific responses, unravelling multifaceted...
Although the effect of folic acid (FA) and its derivatives (folates) have been extensively studied in humans animals, their effects are still unclear most plant species, specifically under various abiotic stress conditions. Here, impact FA as a foliar application at 0, 0.1, 0.2 mM was on snap bean seedlings grown non-saline salinity (50 NaCl) The results indicated that stress, FA-treated plants revealed significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase growth parameters (fresh dry weight shoot root). A...
This study explored the role of exogenous α-Toc (0.5 mM) and Asc (1 in alleviating damaging effects salt stress rapeseed plants (Brassica campestris cv. BARI Sarisha-17). Exposure 21-day-old to different levels (75 mM 150 NaCl) resulted higher accumulation sodium ions (Na+), reduced potassium ion (K+) levels, lower K+/Na+ ratio, increased oxidative damage, chlorophyll (Chl) breakdown, disrupted antioxidant glyoxalase systems. Phenotype responses included reductions plant height, shoot fresh...
Sorghum bicolor: widely cultivated in Asia and Africa, faces increasing challenges from climate change, specifically abiotic stresses like drought salinity. This study evaluates how different sorghum genotypes respond to separate combined of Carried out with three replications using a randomized complete block design, the experiment measured biochemical physiological parameters, including stomatal conductance, chlorophyll content, antioxidant enzyme activities. Molecular analysis focused on...
This study investigated the combined effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (Nano-Zn) and moringa leaf extract (MLE) on squash plants grown under water stress conditions in saline soil during 2021-2022. The research compared full irrigation (100% ETc) with deficit (60% ETc). While negatively impacted plant growth, yield, various physiological parameters, sequential application Nano-Zn (at 50 or 100 mg L-1) MLE (3%) significantly mitigated these adverse effects. treatment proved more effective...
The synthesis of metal nanoparticles is an expanding field study due to the potential uses in creating new technologies that facilitate production crops by improving tolerance against salinity stress. current outlined green sulfur (SNPs) using Moringa oleifera (Lam.) leaf extract and its protective role on Capsicum annuum (L.) growth Using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), effective formation synthesized SNPs was...
Camellia sinensis L. has long been used as a therapeutic agent for the Central nervous system (CNS) due to presence of flavonoids. The present study aimed evaluate dose-dependent Neuropharmacological behavioral potential seed and leaf extracts on mice. To differential extract various doses were prepared examined in open field, head dip, rearing, cage cross, swimming traction tests. One-way ANOVA set at P* < 0.05 followed by POST HOC LSD (P* 0.01) was applied significant difference among...
The potential protective role of priming wheat seeds with maize green extract (MGE) against the stress effects drought was studied. Pretreatment using MGE, MGE enriched polyamines (MGEPA), and treatments (irrigation deficit 30% (severe drought) or 60% (moderate versus 90% relative water content soil as a control) were applied in factorial completely randomized design. Under moderate drought, pretreatment MGEPA outperformed control, while severely stressed plants died even pretreatments. Both...
Drought and salinity are potential threats in arid semi regions.
