Saline-alkali soil has become significant problem for global agriculture and food security as these soils have poor physicochemical conditions reduce crop production by causing a wide range of physiological biochemical changes in plants. More than 800 million hectares (Mha) land throughout the world affected saline-alkali soil, which accounts 6% total area about 62 Mha or 20% world's irrigated is soil. Numerous studies on been conducted years an attempt to plant productivity losses....
Abstract Due to global climate change, crops are certainly confronted with a lot of abiotic and biotic stress factors during their growth that cause serious threat development overall productivity. Among different stresses, salt drought considered the most devastating stressors impact on crop’s yield stability. Here, current study aimed elucidate how melatonin works in regulating plant biomass, oxidative stress, antioxidant defense system, as well expression genes related rice plants. Eight...
Silicon (Si) modulates tolerance to abiotic stresses, but little is known about the reversibility of stress effects by supplementing previously stressed plants with Si. This surprising since recovery experiments might allow mechanisms Si-mediated amelioration be addressed. Rice was exposed 10 µM CdCl2 for 4 d in hydroponics, followed 0.6mM Si(OH)4 supplementation d. Si reversed Cd, as reflected plant growth, photosynthesis, elemental composition, and some biochemical parameters. Cd-dependent...
Salinity limits the growth and nutrient uptake in crop species. Studies show that both potassium (K) humic acid (HA) improved plant tolerance to salinity. However, interactive effect of K HA on salinity stress remains unknown. This pot study examined application (0, 5 or 10 mM) (0 2 g kg
Arsenic (As) contamination in groundwater is a worldwide concern for drinking water safety. Environmental changes and anthropogenic activities are making vulnerable Pakistan, especially Southern Punjab. This study explores the distribution, hydrogeochemical behavior, pathways of As enrichment discusses corresponding evolution mechanism, mobilization capability, health risks. In total, 510 samples were collected from three tehsils Punjab province Pakistan to analyze other physiochemical...
The benefits of silicon (Si) in improving crop fitness by biotic and abiotic stress resistance are widely reported. However, investigations about its protective mechanisms for plants facing multiple stresses very limited. Two contrasting rice cultivars, KS-282 (salt-tolerant) IRRI-6 (salt-sensitive), were grown a pot experiment to study the interrelation between Si supplementation (0 150 mg kg-1) boron (B) toxicity 2.5 under salinity with emphasis on growth response, mineral contents,...
Strigolactones, a new group of phytohormones, are reported to improve plant tolerance multiple abiotic stresses. A pot experiment was conducted investigate the impact synthetic strigolactone (GR24 at 0.001, 0.01 and 0.1 mg L−1) application on ornamental sunflowers (Helianthus annuus cv. Vincent’s Choice) grown under salt stress (150 mM NaCl). Salt applied after 14 days, SL 25 days seed sowing. The results showed that amongst various GR24 concentrations, L−1 proved be superior, as it enhanced...
Post-translational modifications are involved in regulating diverse developmental processes. Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) play vital roles the regulation of chromation structure and activate gene transcription implicated various cellular However, HATs cotton, as well their response to environmental cues, remain unidentified. In this study, 9 were identified from Gossypium raimondi arboretum, while 18 hirsutum. Based on amino acid sequences, divided into three groups: CPB, GNAT,...
The increasing contamination of soil with arsenic (As), and salinity has become a menace to food security human health. current study investigates the comparative efficacy plain biochar (BC), silicon-nanoparticles doped (SBC) for ameliorating As salinity-induced phytotoxicity in quinoa (Chenopodium Willd.) associated health risks. Quinoa was grown on normal saline soils (ECe 12.4 dS m-1) contaminated (0, 20 mg kg-1) supplemented 1% BC or SBC. results demonstrated that plant growth, grain...
Plant bio-regulators (PBRs), are biochemical compounds which stimulate plant growth and productivity when applied, even in small quantities at appropriate stages. These being extensively used agriculture to enhance the particularly horticultural crops but not as prevalent field crops. Their central role development is through nutrient allocation source-sink transitions while some of PBRs hormones related abiotic stress tolerance. Since climate change degrading natural resources projected...
The prevalence of abiotic stresses hampers soil health and plant growth in most ecosystems. In this study, rice husk iron-enriched biochar (BC) was prepared its superiority terms nutrients enrichment, porosity different acidic functional group (O-H, C=O) relative to simple confirmed through scanning electron microscopic, X-ray fluorescence Fourier transform infrared analysis. To further evaluate nickel (Ni), salt (NaCl) carbonate (CaCO3) stress mitigating impact on wheat physiology...
The excessive use of chemical fertilizers is deteriorating both the environment and soil, making it a big challenge faced by sustainable agriculture. To assist efforts for solution this burning issue, nine different potential native strains plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) namely, SA-1(Bacillus subtilis), SA-5 (Stenotrophomonas humi),SA-7(Azospirillum brasilense), BH-1(Azospirillum oryzae), BH-7(Azotobacter armeniacus), BH-8(Rhizobium pusense), BA-3(Azospirillum zeae), BA-6(Rhizobium...
Crop irrigation with untreated wastewater is a routine practice in developing countries that causes multiple human health consequences. A comparative study was performed to regulate total Cr and Pb stress soil Solanum melongena L. plant. For this purpose, 0.2% chitosan polymerized silica gel (CP-silica gel), 1.5% zinc-enriched biochar (ZnBc), three bacterial species such as Trichococcus sp. (B1), Pseudomonas alcaligenes (B2), Bacillus subtilis (B3) were selected. Initially, biosorption trial...
