Plants face a combination of different abiotic stresses under field conditions which are lethal
to plant growth and production. Simultaneous occurrence of chilling and drought stresses in …

The polysaccharides from edible fungus showed many kinds of biological activities,
including anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetes, improving …

Plants are exposed to diverse abiotic stresses like drought, heat, salinity, and high-metal
concentrations at different stages of their life cycle. As protection against stress, plants …

Abiotic stress is one of the main threats affecting crop growth and production. An
understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underpin plant responses against …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous reactive oxygen species (ROS) that has evolved as a
signaling hormone in many physiological processes in animals. In plants it has been …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a well-accepted signaling molecule that has regulatory effects on plants
under various stresses. Salinity is a major issue that adversely affects plant growth and …

Agricultural productivity worldwide is subject to increasing environmental constraints,
particularly to drought and salinity due to their high magnitude of impact and wide …

Background Plants require nitrogen (N) for growth, development and defence against abiotic
and biotic stresses. The extensive use of artificial N fertilizers has played an important role in …

When plants are attacked by pathogens, they defend themselves with an arsenal of defence
mechanisms, both passive and active. The active defence responses, which require de novo …

Air pollution is air contaminated by anthropogenic or naturally occurring substances in high
concentrations for a prolonged time, resulting in adverse effects on human comfort and …
