A greenhouse hydroponic experiment was performed using salt-tolerant (cv. Suntop) and -sensitive (Sunmate) wheat cultivars a barley cv. CM72 to evaluate how cultivar species differ in response salinity stress. Results showed that Suntop high tolerance salinity, being similar with CM72, compared Sunmate. Similar recorded less induced increase malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation reduction plant height, net photosynthetic rate (Pn), chlorophyll content, biomass than sensitive Significant...

In recent years, heavy metals (HMs) attain lot of consideration due to their toxic nature in the environment. Natural as well anthrpogenic activities like urbanization & industrialization, use fertilizers, and waste managemgemt contamination increased HMs exposure living organisms. Due continous encountering with HMs, plants facing oxidative stress, nutritional imbalance, metaolic disturbance yield lost. Only, limited concentration are tolerable for plants, whereas higher these disrupted...

The objective of this research was to determine the effect zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and/or salicylic acid (SA) under arsenic (As) stress on rice (Oryza sativa). ZnONPs are analyzed for various techniques viz., X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning (SEM). All these tests established that pure with no internal defects, can be potentially used in plant applications. Hence, we further investigated...

Due to its immense capability concentrate in rice grain and ultimately food chain, cadmium (Cd) has become the cause of an elevated concern among agriculturists, scientists environmental activists. Symbiotic association Piriformospora indica (P. indica) been characterized as a potential aid combating heavy metal stress plants for sustainable crop production but our scant knowledge regarding ameliorative tendency P. against Cd, specifically rice, necessitates in-depth investigation. This...

The multifarious problems created by arsenic (As), for collective environment and human health, serve a cogent case searching integrative agricultural approaches to attain food security. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) acts as sponge heavy metal(loid)s accretion, specifically As, due anaerobic flooded growth conditions facilitating its uptake. Acclaimed their positive impact on plant growth, development phosphorus (P) nutrition, 'mycorrhizas' are able promote stress tolerance. Albeit, the metabolic...

Inadvertent accumulation of arsenic (As) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a concern for people depending on it their subsistence, as verily causes epigenetic alterations across the genome well specific cells. To ensure food safety, certain attempts have been made to nullify this highest health hazard encompassing physiological, chemical and biological methods. Albeit, use mycorrhizal association along with nutrient reinforcement strategy has not explored yet. Mechanisms response resistance two...

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), is a world's major non-food agricultural crop widely cultivated for its economic value. Among several color change associated biological processes, plastid pigment metabolism of trivial importance in postharvest plant organs during curing and storage. However, the molecular mechanisms involved carotenoid chlorophyll metabolism, as well tobacco leaves curing, need further elaboration. Here, proteomic analysis at different stages (0 h, 48 72 h) was performed cv....

Phyllospheric microbial composition of tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) is contingent upon certain factors, such as the growth stage plant, leaf position, and cultivar its geographical location, which influence, either directly or indirectly, growth, overall health, production plant. To better understand spatiotemporal variation community divergence phyllospheric microflora, procured from healthy diseased leaves infected by Alternaria alternata , current study employed microbe culturing,...

The increasing use of nanoparticles is driving the growth research on their effects living organisms. However, studies cellular respiration are still limited. remodeling cellular-respiration-related indices in plants induced by zinc oxide (nnZnO) and its bulk form (blZnO) was investigated for first time. For this purpose, barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seedlings were grown hydroponically one week with addition test compounds at concentrations 0, 0.3, 2, 10 mg mL

To elucidate inter-specific similarity and difference of tolerance mechanism against salinity stress between wheat barley, high tolerant cv. Suntop sensitive Sunmate barley CM72 were hydroponically grown in a greenhouse with 100 mM NaCl. Glutathione, secondary metabolites, genes associated Na+ transport, defense, detoxification examined to discriminate the species/cultivar response stress. displayed damage lesser extent than Sunmate. Compared Sunmate, both recorded lower electrolyte leakage...

Consumption of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one the major pathways for heavy metal bioaccumulation in humans over time. Understanding molecular responses to contamination agriculture useful eco-toxicological assessment cadmium (Cd) and its interaction with zinc (Zn). In certain crops, impacts Cd stress or Zn nutrition on biophysical chemistry gene expression have been widely investigated, but their interactions at transcriptomic level, particularly roots, are still elusive. Here, hydroponic...
