The progressive increase in the earth’s temperature due to anthropogenic activities is a major concern for humanity. ensuing heat stress (HS) severely impacts plant growth, endangering ecosystem quality and world food security. Plant physiological processes final amount of edible products are affected by HS an extent that reflects physical damages, commotions biochemical alterations incurred at various growth stages. Therefore, better understanding behaviour response has pragmatic...

Abstract Moringa oleifera Lam . is a common edible plant, famous for several nutritional and therapeutic benefits. This study investigates the salt -induced modulations in plant growth, physio-biochemical responses, antioxidant performance of M. grown under 0, 50, 100 mM NaCl concentrations. Results showed that effectively managed moderate salinity (50 NaCl) by maintaining succulence, weight ratios, biomass allocation patterns both shoot root with minimal reduction dry biomass. However, high...

Climatic changes and global warming produce abiotic stressors that affect plant development productivity. Abiotic stressors, such as drought, salt, cold, heat, significantly impair agricultural crop yields. The endophyte is a type of endosymbiont, usually bacteria or fungus lives inside cells doesn't cause disease in the host plant. This review scrutinizes integral contribution endophytes to augmenting stress tolerance plants. core analysis investigates regulatory role mechanism pivotal...

This study explored how exogenous silicon (Si) affects growth and salt resistance in maize. The maize was cultivated sand-filled pots, incorporating varied stress (NaCl) treatments. Silicon applied at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 mM, induced using 60 and120 mM concentrations. Soil salinity triggers a range of physiochemical abnormalities, often leading to arrest and, eventually, the demise susceptible plants. significantly reduced total chlorophyll content (12.58–33.14%), antioxidant enzymes, notably SOD...

Zinc (Zn) deficiency caused by inadequate dietary intake is a global nutritional problem in human populations, especially developing countries. Therefore, Biofortification of wheat and other cereal crops an urgent challenge high-priority research task. A field study was planned to evaluate the influence zinc application on grain yield, phytic acid concentrations cultivars. In this study, we also examined relationships between concentration. Three cultivars, i.e., C1=Faisalabad-2008,...

Cadmium (Cd) toxicity is a serious environmental issue causing significant reduction in crop growth and productivity globally. Trehalose (Tre) has emerged as an important reducing sugar that can reduce the adverse impacts of different abiotic stresses. Therefore, present investigation was performed to determine key role Tre alleviating Cd stress mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) crop. The study comprised treatments cadmium (0, 10, 20 mg kg-1 soil) 15 30 mM). significantly restricted yield bean....

Abstract Information regarding the germination and seedling growth behavior of a potential weed species is an important tool to manage weeds without use agricultural chemicals that cause harmful effects on human health environment. A series experiments were directed investigate influence different environmental factors (temperature, pH, NaCl, moisture stress, seed burial depth) emergence perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.) under controlled conditions. Results suggested 25 °C optimum...

Drought stress poses a significant obstacle to agricultural productivity, particularly in the case of oilseed crops such as sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.). Selenium (Se) is fundamental micronutrient that has been recognized for its ability enhance plant resilience face various environmental stresses. The FH-770 variety was cultivated pots subjected three levels (100% FC, 75% and 50% FC) four Se application rates (0 ppm, 30 60 90 ppm). This research aimed investigate effect exogenously...

Tomato is one of the most significant vegetable crops, which provides several important dietary components. Pakistan has a low tomato yield compared to other countries because genetic diversity and absence improved cultivars. The present study aimed investigate variability, heritability, advance for yield-related traits in tomato. For this purpose, eight parents their 15 crosses or hybrids were evaluated relevant traits. Significant variation was observed all studied Higher values genotypic...
