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...
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...
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,...
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...
Abstract Purpose Water scarcity is expected to extend more regions of the world and represents an alarming threat food security worldwide. Under such circumstances, water holding capacity important agronomic trait, which primarily controlled by soil texture. Methods Our work examined three different textures from cities Shaanxi Province in China, i.e., silt-sandy loam Yulin (north Shaanxi), loam—clay Yangling (middle western part clay loam-clay Hanzhong (south at two moisture levels, field...
Brassinoids are plant steroidal hormones that ubiquitous in the kingdom and regulate a wide range of physiological stress responses. In plastic tunnel pot bioassay experiment, three levels 28-homobrassinolide (HBL) at 1, 3, 5 μmol L−1 were tested for growth attributes cucumber cultivars 'Jinyou 1' (salt-sensitive) 'Changchun Mici' (salt-tolerant), grown various salt conditions (60 120 mmol L−1). Cucumber plants both subjected to exhibited reduced altered antioxidant enzymes 60 L−1. However,...
Abstract Purpose Verticillium wilt is a destructive vascular disease in eggplants. The complex defensive mechanisms of eggplant against this are very limited. Methods Our work examined the bioactive properties garlic allelochemical diallyl disulfide (DADS) as potential biostimulants for defense V. dahliae seedlings. We, therefore, foliar sprayed DADS on eggplants to study response during early biotrophic phase (a hemibiotroph). Results application significantly increased root peroxidase...
Aims: Strawberry, being introduced recently to the fruit industry of Pakistan, is a new commodity therefore growers are still unaware optimum fertilizer dose needed obtain better yield.To achieve this goal present research study was designed optimize proper Potassium (K) for strawberry under agro-climatic conditions Peshawar-Pakistan.Place and Duration Study: The Research conducted in open field at newly Developed Farm (NDF) Horticulture section, University Agriculture Peshawar, Pakistan...
The strategic role of phytohormones and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to overcome various stress conditions is gaining popularity in sustainable agricultural practices. This current study aims investigate identify the protective roles 28-homobrassinolide (HBL) Glomus versiforme on two cucumber cultivars (salt sensitive Jinyou 1# tolerant Chanchun mici (CCMC)) grown under saline (100 mM NaCl). HBL AMF were applied as individual combined treatments their effects observed morphological...
<p><em>Strawberry fruit takes less time for production and is easily multiplied. Fruiting an exhaustive process depletes nutrients especially phosphorus as it highly immobile in the soil. An experiment was conducted The University of Peshawar, Pakistan to evaluate different level Phosphorous on growth, yield quality Strawberry Cv Chandler. Results show that Phosphorus at 90 kg ha<sup>-1</sup> significantly influenced days flowering (102.66) strawberry plants while, 80...
The field experiment was conducted with twenty brinjal varieties/lines during October 2007 to May 2008 identify shoot and leaf characteristics of plants for their susceptibility/resistance against fruit borer infestation. Borer infestation influenced by different characters plant leaf. Various parameters like height, stem diameter, number branches leaves plant-1, third length width were recorded from varieties used. rate found positively correlated height (0.407), diameter (0.520), plant-1...
