Abstract Considering titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) role in plant growth and especially tolerance against abiotic stress, a greenhouse experiment was carried out to evaluate TiO NPs effects (0, 50, 100 200 mg L −1 ) on agronomic traits of Moldavian balm ( Dracocephalum moldavica L.) plants grown under different salinity levels 50 mM NaCl). Results demonstrated that all were negatively affected but application mitigated these negative effects. salt stress conditions improved...
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been recently found to act as a potent priming agent. This study explored the hypothesis that hydroponic pretreatment of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa cv. Camarosa) roots with H2S donor, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS; 100 μM for 48h), could induce long-lasting effects and tolerance subsequent exposure 100mM NaCI or 10% (w/v) PEG-6000 7 d. resulted in increased leaf chlorophyll fluorescence, stomatal conductance relative water content well lower lipid peroxidation...
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are involved in a plethora of cellular responses plants; however, our knowledge on the outcomes oxidative nitrosative signaling is still unclear. To better understand how signals integrated to regulate adjustments external conditions, local systemic were investigated roots leaves sour orange plants (Citrus aurantium L.) after root treatment with hydrogen peroxide (H(2) O(2) ) or sodium nitroprusside (a nitric oxide donor), followed by NaCl stress for 8...
Recent reports have uncovered the multifunctional role of melatonin in plant physiological responses under optimal and suboptimal environmental conditions. In this study, we explored whether pretreatment could provoke priming effects alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) plants subsequently exposed to prolonged drought stress (7 days), by withholding watering. Results revealed that rhizospheric application (10 μmol L-1 ) remarkably enhanced tolerance plants, as evidenced observed tolerant phenotype,...
Plants are exposed to multiple threats linked climate change which can cause critical yield losses. Therefore, designing novel crop management tools is crucial. Chemical priming has recently emerged as an effective technology for improving tolerance stress factors. Several compounds such phytohormones, reactive species, and synthetic chimeras have been identified promising agents. Following remarkable developments in nanotechnology, several unique nanocarriers (NCs) engineered that act smart...
Abstract The beneficial effects of priming technology are aimed at the promotion growth and development stress tolerance in plants. Different seed pre-treatment vegetative approaches (osmo-, chemical, physical, hormonal, redox treatments) increase level nitric oxide (NO) being an active contributor to regulation defence responses. On other hand, or mainly with NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) helps mitigate different abiotic stresses like salinity, cold, drought, excess metals. effect...
Abstract Powdery mildew fungi are biotrophic pathogens that form a complex interface, the haustorium, between host plant and parasite. The pathogen acts as an additional sink, competing with sinks, resulting in considerable modification of photoassimilate production partitioning within tissue. Here, we examine factors may contribute to these changes. We show for first time one interaction (Arabidopsis/Erysiphe cichoracearum) all following responses: Glc uptake tissues is enhanced after...
The interplay among polyamines (PAs) and reactive oxygen nitrogen species (RNS ROS) is emerging as a key issue in plant responses to salinity. To address this question, we analysed the impact of exogenous PAs [putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd) spermine (Spm)] on oxidative nitrosative status citrus plants exposed partially reversed NaCl-induced phenotypic physiological disturbances. expression PA biosynthesis (ADC, SAMDC, SPDS SPMS) catabolism (DAO PAO) genes was systematically up-regulated...
Temperature extremes represent an important limiting factor to plant growth and productivity. The present study evaluated the effect of hydroponic pretreatment strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa cv. 'Camarosa') roots with H2S donor, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS; 100 μM for 48 h), on response plants acute heat shock treatment (42°C, 8 h). Heat stress-induced phenotypic damage was ameliorated in NaHS-pretreated plants, which managed preserve higher maximum photochemical PSII quantum yields than...
One of the most significant biosphere contamination problems worldwide is derived from heavy metals. Heavy metals can be highly reactive and toxic according to their oxidation levels. Their effects are associated with increased production oxygen species (ROS) cellular damage induced in plants. The present study focuses on nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) zinc (Zn) applied soil antioxidant response allergen aromatic plant basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) following a combined physiological, biochemical...
