Tomato is an important vegetable that highly sensitive to drought (DR) stress which impairs the development of tomato seedlings. Recently, melatonin (ME) has emerged as a nontoxic, regulatory biomolecule regulates plant growth and enhances DR tolerance mechanism in plants. The present study was conducted examine defensive role ME photosynthesis, root architecture, antioxidant enzymes' activities seedlings subjected stress. Our results indicated strongly suppressed biomass production,...
Salt stress negatively affects the growth, development, and yield of horticultural crops. Nitric oxide (NO) is considered a signaling molecule that plays key role in plant defense system under salt stress. This study investigated impact exogenous application 0.2 mM sodium nitroprusside (SNP, an NO donor) on tolerance physiological morphological characteristics lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) (25, 50, 75, 100 mM). caused marked decrease yield, carotenoids photosynthetic pigments stressed plants...
Hydrocolloid gums are extensively used in food industry. Recently, hydrocolloid such as gum arabic have been widely researched edible coatings to extend postharvest life of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, this study, the efficacy (GA)-based coating was investigated for maintaining quality persimmon during ambient storage. Persimmon were coated with 0 10% GA stored at 20 ± 1°C 80 2% RH days. The GA-coated showed significantly lower weight loss, membrane leakage, H2O2, malondialdehyde...
Abstract Recently, melatonin has gained significant importance in plant research. The presence of the kingdom been known since 1995. It is a molecule that conserved wide array evolutionary distant organisms. Its functions and characteristics have found to be similar both plants animals. review focuses on role pertaining physiological higher plants. Melatonin regulates regarding auxin activity, root, shoot, explant growth, activates germination seeds, promotes rhizogenesis (growth...
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is an essential molecule which regulates plant growth and development alleviates the damaging effects of abiotic stresses. To evaluate important functions melatonin in response to salinity stress, exogenous on antioxidant system tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) under 150 mM NaCl stress were investigated. The application 100 μM compensated inhibition caused by salt-stress. treated seedlings had increased fresh dry masses shoots roots. 1 - 200 µM...
