Microbial endophytes are present in all known plant species. The ability to enter and thrive
in the plant tissues makes endophytes unique, showing multidimensional interactions within …

Microbial endophytes are ubiquitous and exist in each recognised plant species reported till
date. Within the host plant, the entire community of microbes lives non-invasively within the …

Abstract Treatment of plant seeds with electromagnetic fields or non-thermal plasmas aims
to take advantage of plant functional plasticity towards stimulation of plant agricultural …

In recent decades, intensive crop management has involved excessive use of pesticides or
fertilizers, compromising environmental integrity and public health. Accordingly, there has …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are critical for plant
development as well as for its stress response. They can function as signaling molecules to …

Plant damage caused by defoliating insects has a long-term negative effect on plant growth
and productivity. Consequently, the restoration of plant growth after exposure to pathogens …

Halotolerant (HT) bacteria are a group of microorganisms able to thrive in environments with
relatively high salt concentrations. HT-microorganisms with plant growth-promoting (PGP) …

Interactions among endophytes and plants are widespread and can vary from neutral or
positive or negative. Plants are continually in a functionally dynamic state due to interactions …

One-pot thermal and photochemical syntheses of lignin-doped silver and gold nanoparticles
were developed and their antimicrobial properties were studied against Escherichia coli and …

Cold atmospheric pressure (CP) plasma irradiation of seeds has been shown to promote
plant growth, but the molecular basis of this phenomenon is poorly understood. In our study …
