Chromium (Cr) is a toxic heavy metal that contaminates soil and water resources after its discharge from different industries. A pot experiment was conducted to determine the effects of single and/or combined application sodium nitroprusside (SNP) (250 μM) hydrogen sulfide (NaHS) (1 mM) on growth, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange characteristics, oxidative stress biomarkers, antioxidant machinery (enzymatic non-enzymatic antioxidants), ion uptake, organic acid exudation, Cr uptake...
Soil contamination with toxic heavy metals [such as lead (Pb)] is becoming a serious global problem due to the rapid development of social economy. However, accumulation Pb in plant parts very for growth and decreases crop yield productivity. In present study, we have investigated different concentrations soil i.e., [0 (no Pb), 50, 100 mg kg-1] study biomass, photosynthetic pigments gas exchange characteristics, oxidative stress indicators response various antioxidants (enzymatic...
We evaluated the effects of different concentrations (0.05 and 0.15mM) a benzothiazine (BTh) derivative on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in normal (100% field water capacity, FWC) drought (60% conditions. Various morphological physiological characteristics, uptake osmo-protectants nutrients were measured under two FWC Results show that conditions significantly reduced plant growth, affected composition, photosynthetic pigments gaseous exchange attributes, stomatal behaviour, fluxes essential...
While of lesser prevalence than boron (B) deficient soils, B-rich soils are important to study as they can cause B toxicity in the field and subsequently decrease crop yields different regions world. We have conducted present examine role individual or combined application silicon (Si) NPK fertilizer B-stressed spinach plants ( Spinacia oleracea L.). S . seedlings were subjected fertilizers, namely, low (30 kg ha –2 ) normal (60 )], which also supplemented by Si (3 mmol L –1 ), for varying...
Soil salinization has become a major issue around the world in recent years, as it is one of consequences climate change sea levels rise. It crucial to lessen severe soil on plants. A pot experiment was conducted regulate physiological and biochemical mechanisms order evaluate ameliorative effects potassium nitrate (KNO3) Raphanus sativus L. genotypes under salt stress. The results from present study illustrated that salinity stress induced significant decrease shoot length, root fresh...
Copper (Cu) is an abundant essential micronutrient element in various rocks and minerals required for a variety of metabolic processes both prokaryotes eukaryotes. However, excess Cu can disturb normal development by adversely affecting biochemical reactions physiological plants. organic soil rich micronutrients assist plants to tolerate toxicity promoting growth biomass. This study explored the potential Cu-contaminated on fibrous jute (Corchorus capsularis). Plants were grown soil, natural...
Salinity is extremely hazardous to agriculture worldwide and its expanding constantly. Soil of almost 100 countries facing salinity problem including Pakistan. Cyperus laevigatus also act as indicator species a naturally adapted halophyte dispersed in subtropical regions world. Six populations C. were collected from different saline habitats evaluate adaptations regarding anatomical physiological characteristics. perfectly harsh environmental conditions like dry barren soils, lakes,...
Pakistan faces challenges in both food and energy security. Indeed, extensive literature suggests that security are interdependent. While acknowledging is still a primary concern for Pakistan, also major issue. It crucial to develop sustainable sources production. Among sources, biomass promising source can be effectively used environmentally friendly This article addresses the issues potential solutions using crop residues, non-edible crops, animal municipal solid wastes Pakistan. The...
Abstract Background The button mangrove ( Conocarpus erectus L.) is regarded as a peripheral species within communities. This particular has the ability to thrive in regions that are arid or semiarid, where there limited availability of nutrients. study provides evidence ecological dominance across various habitats, highlighting its adaptability and success throughout country Pakistan. We collected twelve populations from four distinct regions, including artificial forest plantations,...
The supply of nutrients and proximate matter is insufficient to fulfil the dietary needs quickly expanding human population. Green leafy vegetables can prove economical sources minerals, vitamins fibers overcome nutritional deficiencies. Five (Brassica juncea, Spinacia oleracea, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Chenopodium album Lactuca sativa) were collected from a horticulture garden vegetable market for evaluation their composition. Their contents (moisture, ash, fats, fibers, carbohydrates...
Forty-nine accessions were collected from arid and semi-arid areas of Pakistan to explore adaptive components in red-grained wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Single-line selections these grown on an a control site; that is, Uchkera Farm (UF) Botanical Garden (BG), Faisalabad. The at BG exhibited significantly better biomass grain yield production than those UF. Accession Ck5 Chakwal produced the maximum (17.7 g plant−1) Jm3 (8.1 Among eight selected for further anatomical studies, Dg2 showed...
Abstract Background Yellow (stripe) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is an economic disease of wheat. Growth-promoting fungi (GPF) such as Trichoderma asperellum and Penicillium simplicissimum have been investigated for their potential to control yellow rust involvement in gene expression four PR proteins all-stage resistance. Results Wheat plants (cv. Sids-12) treated individually with each the biocontrol agents, P. T. , at 24 48 hpi showed a resistance response...
