This study investigates the acclimatization success of Vriesea splendens 'Fire', a popular ornamental bromeliad, through in vitro propagation on various substrates. Due to increasing demand for V. splendens, micropropagation offers promising solution overcome limitations traditional methods. In this research, was conducted two trial types: one-step greenhouse conditions, and two-step acclimatization, which introduced controlled laboratory step before transferring plants greenhouse. The...

This study presents the effects of exogenous melatonin application at different concentrations (50, 100, and 200 μM) on morphological, physiological, antioxidant defense systems buttercup plant under salinity stress (4.5 5.5 dS·m−1 EC). Expectedly, negatively affected growth parameters, cell membrane stability, POX enzyme activity R. asiaticus compared to non-stressed plants. However, in a dose-dependent manner, foliar decreased salt stress-induced symptoms retarded vegetative growth,...

Melatonin (MT) controls various physiological functions and enhances plant drought tolerance. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of exogenous MT on morpho-physiological biochemical attributes Ranunculus asiaticus under normal conditions. A completely randomized design was used with two factors, stress concentration (0, 50, 100, 200 μM), assess foliar application R. seedlings. The experiment conducted a total groups: group control group. carried out four times during period. exhibited...

Phytoremediation is an environmentally friendly and effective method of reducing contaminating ions to very low levels. In this study, the effects different concentrations cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) on vegetative growth chemical biochemical compositions Salix mucronata as well potential for phytoextraction these metals by plant organs were investigated. S. had highest survival percentage (100%) in presence CdCl 2 , CuCl Pb acetate up 80, 200, 850 mg·kg −1 soil, respectively. A...

The contamination of agricultural soil with heavy metals is a complex phenomenon that causes negative consequences for various organisms. Poplars may have considerable phytoremediation potential, and this plant species can tolerate Cd, Cu, Pb up to 15.6, 63.6, 173.3 mg kg-1 soil, respectively, 100% survival. analyzed data revealed significant reduction in vegetative growth traits leaf N, P, K, carbohydrate (%) green color degree. However, simultaneously increase enzymatic activities...

Contamination of agricultural soil by heavy metals poses a significant threat to quality and crop yields. Using plants as natural remediation approach attracts researchers’ attention around the world. A 16-month pot experiment was conducted using Conocarpus erectus in randomized complete block design. The growth, enzymatic activity, electrolyte leakage, potential were estimated under Cd nitrate]40 low (L), 60 medium (M), 80 high (H) mg/kg [and Pb nitrate]400 700 1,000 [applied individually...

Melatonin (MT) controls various physiological functions and enhances plant drought tolerance in response to environmental stressors, including water deficit. This study aimed evaluate the effect of exogenous MT on morphophysiological attributes Ranunculus asiaticus under normal conditions. R. seedlings were divided into drought-stress control groups subjected foliar application at concentrations (0, 50, 100, 200 μM) four times during study. The group exhibited considerably decreased...

Secondary salinization caused by climate change is a growing global problem. Searching for plants that can survive in areas with high salt content and even have decorative value was the focus of our research. Thirty Limonium gmelinii subsp. hungaricum were planted clear river sand; another thirty Pindstrup, substrate enriched 40% clay. With latter, we modeled natural soil. In addition to control tap-water treatment, received 50, 125, 250, 375, 500 mM NaCl solution irrigation twice week. The...

The endangered plant species Adenophora liliifolia faces threats to its survival in the wild, necessitating development of effective micropropagation techniques for potential reintroduction efforts. This study demonstrates that effectively reproduces on MS synthetic medium with diverse growth regulators (PGR) and natural extracts, facilitating swift future endeavors. It highlights substantial impact PGR composition extracts A. liliifolia. ideal was determined be ½ specific treatments....

In a 16-month study addressing global agricultural soil heavy metal contamination, researchers explored plant-centered solutions using Jacaranda plants. The impact of different combinations cadmium nitrate (40, 80, and 120 mg) lead (400, 800, 1200 mg/kg soil) were evaluated relative to Jacaranda’s remediation capabilities. Employing randomized complete block design with 8 applications across 3 repetitions, the assessed growth traits chemical characteristics. Untreated plants showed higher...
