Free radicals and other active derivatives of oxygen are inevitable by-products of biological
redox reactions. Reactive oxygen species inactivate enzymes and damage important …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been studied for their role in plant development as
well as in plant immunity. ROS were consistently observed to accumulate in the plant after …

ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) are studied as a potential solution to alleviate Zn deficiency in
human diet due to their special physicochemical properties. However, information for food …

Effects of long term, medium level (electrical conductivity of extract (ECe)= 6.85 dS m− 1)
sodium chloride (NaCl) salinity were studied in tolerant (Kharchia 65) and susceptible (HD …

Interest on the environmental impact of engineered nanomaterials has rapidly increased
over the past years because it is expected that these materials will eventually be released …

Nitric oxide is a bioactive molecule involved in many biological events that has been
reported as prooxidant as well as antioxidant in plants. In the present study, we evaluated …

Mercury content and distribution as well as its effects on growth and oxidative stress were
investigated in 30-day-old tomato seedlings (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). The content of …

The behavior of the antioxidant defense system was studied in sunflower cotyledons
subjected to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. The two doses assayed (15.0 and 30.0 kJm− 2) …

High soil salinity is a serious problem for crop production because most of the cultivated
plants are salt sensitive, which is also the case for the globally important crop plant maize …

Humic substances (HS) contained in the vermicompost, are environmentally friendly
materials that restore the chemical and physical properties of soils and improve plant …
