Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses which impose constraints to plant growth and
production. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple food crops and a model …

Abiotic stresses, such as temperature extremes, drought, salinity, and heavy metals are
major factors limiting crop productivity and sustainability worldwide. Abiotic stresses disturb …

Salinity is an issue impairing crop production across the globe. Under salinity stress,
besides the osmotic stress and Na+ toxicity, ROS (reactive oxygen species) …

Even under optimal conditions many metabolic processes produce ROS like superoxide
anion (O 2.-), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) and hydroxyl radicals (OH⋅), particularly in …

Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are non-heme peroxidases catalyzing the reduction of
H2O2 or organic hydroperoxides to water or corresponding alcohols using glutathione …

Plants being sessile organisms are often exposed to various abiotic stress conditions, which
greatly hamper the growth, yields as well as the quality of produce. Plants respond to abiotic …

Nitrogen (N) is a basic building block that plays an essential role in the maintenance of
