Oxidative stress is common consequence of abiotic stress in plants as well as cyanobacteria
caused by generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), an inevitable product of respiration …

The toxic and non-essential metalloid arsenic (As) is ubiquitous in the environment with its
absorption from the soil into the plants' roots posing detrimental effects on the crop plants …

The supplementation of plant hormones may enhance the tolerance capacity of plants
against certain environmental stresses by increasing their physiological functioning and …

Hydrogen gas (H 2) has been shown as an important factor in plant tolerance to abiotic
stresses, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, the effects of …

The present study describes the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of zinc
tolerance in two heterocytous cyanobacteria ie Anabaena doliolum and Anabaena oryzae …

The enhancement of harmful ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280–320 nm wavelength) radiation is a
serious problem generally faced by photosynthetic organisms. Previous studies have …

Injudicious usage of insecticides poses a harmful impact on non-targeted biological nitrogen
fixers ie cyanobacteria, thereby causing substantial loss to paddy productivity …

Organophosphate pesticides (OPs), as a replacement for the organochlorine pesticides, are
generally considered non-toxic to plants and algae. Chlorpyrifos and dichlorvos are two OPs …

Hydrogen gas (H2) was recently proposed as a therapeutic antioxidant and signaling
molecule in clinical trials. However, the underlying physiological roles of H2 in plants remain …

Mechanical damage can induce fruiting body production in fungi. In this study, the
antioxidant kojic acid (KA) was found to enhance injured mycelial regeneration and increase …
