Milk thistle (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.) is a versatile crop that has adapted to the
broadly different soil and environmental conditions throughout all continents. To date, the …

Background and aims As drought threatens the yield and quality of maize (Zea mays L.), it is
important to dissect the molecular basis of maize drought tolerance. Flavonoids, participate …

Plant secondary metabolites (SMs) play crucial roles in plant‐environment interactions and
contribute greatly to human health. Global climate changes are expected to dramatically …

Climate change induces biotic and abiotic stress conditions, which badly affect the yield of
crops with leading to the biochemical and physiological damages to plants. Biochar and …

Silybin A and B are two major hepatoprotective flavonolignans produced predominantly in
Silybum marianum fruits. Similar to other plant secondary metabolites, silybin production is …

Drought stress hinders the growth and development of crop plants and ultimately its
productivity. It is expected that drought stress will be frequent and intense in the future due to …

Introduction Osmoprotectant supplementation can be used as a useful approach to enhance
plant stress tolerance. However, the effect of silymarin and clove fruit extract (CFE) on wheat …

Water deficit stress triggers various physiological and biochemical changes in plants,
substantially affecting both overall plant defense response and thus nutritional quality of …

Many human activities, including waste disposal and the use of synthetic phosphate
fertilizers, increase the concentration of cadmium (Cd) in the environment and harm plants …
