Phytohormones mediate physiological, morphological, and enzymatic responses are important regulators of plant growth development at different stages. Even though temperature is one the most abiotic stressors for production, a spike in may have disastrous repercussions crop performance. Physiology two tomato genotypes ('Ahmar' 'Roma') were studied chambers (25 45 °C) when gibberellic acid (GA3) was applied exogenously. After days planting, plants sprayed with GA3 concentrations 25, 50, 75,...

Globally, climate change could hinder future food security that concurrently implies the importance of investigating drought stress and genotype screening under stressed environments. Hence, current study was performed to screen 45 diverse maize inbred lines for 18 studied traits comprising phenological, physiological, morphological, yield characters optimum water conditions two successive growing seasons (2018 2019). The results showed regimes significantly influenced (p < 0.01) most...

The climate has drastically changed over the past two decades. Rising temperatures and change may lead to increased evapotranspiration, specifically soil evaporation, causing water evaporate salt accumulate in soil, resulting salinity. As a result, there is need evaluate methods for predicting monitoring effects of salinity on crop growth production through rapid screening. Our study was conducted 20 wheat genotypes, 10 sensitive tolerant, exposed levels (90 120 mM NaCl) with control under...

Due to advances in the industrial development of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), much research has been conducted recent years get a better understanding how plants respond these light sources. This study investigated effects different LED-based regimes on strawberry plant and performance. The photosynthetic pigment content, biochemical constituents, growth characteristics were using combination intensities (150, 200, 250 μmol m-2 s-1), qualities (red, green, blue LEDs), photoperiods (14/10 h,...

This study aimed to determine the effect of hydrogen sulfide on chilling injury (CI) banana (Musa spp.) during cold storage (7°C). It was observed that application (2 mmol L-1) markedly reduced CI index and showed significantly higher chlorophyll contents, along with suppressed peroxidase chlorophyllase enzyme activity. The treated fruits exhibited substantially peel lightness (L*), a lower browning degree soluble quinone content. bananas had endogenous content activity its...

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the changes in chemical and microbial properties enzymatic activity soil enriched with vermicompost derived from household waste. tested rhizosphere Larix decidua seedlings cultivated 10-L pots in: (i) nursery (as control), (ii) 10% v/v vermicompost, (iii) 20% vermicompost. impact assessed terms C/N ratio; bacterial, fungal, nematode counts; activity. It found that increased ratio 21 32, as well content nitrate 78 134 mg kg −1 , ammonium 14 139...

Abstract The use of complementary light spectra is a potential new approach to studying the increase in plant resilience under stress conditions. purpose this experiment was investigate effect different on growth and development strawberry plants salinity alkalinity Plants were grown greenhouse ambient irradiated with blue (460 nm), red (660 blue/red (1:3), white/yellow (400–700 nm) during developmental stages. treatments as follows: control (non-stress), (40 mM NaHCO 3 ), (80 NaCl). Our...

Abstract The effect of triad application the phytohormone 24-epibrassinolide (EBL), polyamine spermine (Spm), and element silicon (Si) has not yet been considered on plant growth behavior in water-stressed conditions. We aimed to evaluate impact single/dual/triad growth, photosynthetic metabolites, antioxidant enzymes maize exposed water stress. This study was conducted as a potential drought resistance system plants' maintenance against oxidative damage. In this regard, one hybrid (Paya)...

Elimination diets have recently become extremely popular among people with autoimmune diseases. A gluten-free diet is indicated in celiac disease (CD), but some studies show its effectiveness cases of autoimmunity. The aim this study was to assess whether the use a also effective patients chronic thyroid (cAITD), which most common pathology associated inflammation, over-reactivity immune system, auto-destruction thyrocytes and hypothyroidism. final analysis included 62 Caucasian women...

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a popular group of used worldwide. These also available over the counter, which implies that their consumption is not strictly regulated. They released through wastewater and feces can have adverse effects on environment.
