Several environmental stresses, including biotic and abiotic factors, adversely affect the
growth and development of crops, thereby lowering their yield. However, abiotic factors, eg …

The sessile nature of plants' life is endowed with a highly evolved defense system to adapt
and survive under environmental extremes. To combat such stresses, plants have …

Seed priming uses treatments to improve seed germination and thus potentially increase
growth and yield. Low-cost, environmentally friendly, effective seed treatment remain to be …

The plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and plant growth regulators (PGRs) can
be applied to improve the growth and productivity of plants, with potential to be used for …

Microplastics pollution in farmlands has become a major concern. However, few studies
have assessed the effects of microplastics on higher plants. In this study, we investigated the …

Sugars are the most important regulators that facilitate many physiological processes, such
as photosynthesis, seed germination, flowering, senescence, and many more under various …

Silicon is absorbed as uncharged mono-silicic acid by plant roots through passive
absorption of Lsi1, an influx transporter belonging to the aquaporin protein family. Lsi2 then …

Starch is a significant store of sugars, and the starch-sugar interconversion in source and
sink tissues plays a profound physiological role in all plants. In this review, we discuss how …

Current research in basic and applied knowledge of plant science has aimed to unravel the
role of the interaction between environmental factors and the genome in the physiology of …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple foods in the world, however most
improved rice varieties are susceptible to drought stress. A two-year study was conducted to …
