Plants exposed to a variety of abiotic and biotic stressors including environmental pollution
and global warming pose significant threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services. Despite …

Elevated tropospheric ozone concentrations induce adverse effects in plants. We reviewed
how ozone affects (i) the composition and diversity of plant communities by affecting key …

The synthesis of biological silicon nano-particles (Bio-Si-NPs) is an eco-friendly and low-
cost method. There is no study focusing on the effect of Bio-Si-NPs on the plants grown on …

Plants have various self-defense mechanisms against biotic attacks, involving both physical
and chemical barriers. Physical barriers include spines, trichomes, and cuticle layers …

Heavy metal pollution in ecosystem is a global threat. The associated toxicity and
carcinogenic nature of heavy metals/metalloids such as mercury, cadmium, lead, and …

Exploring the molecular foundation of the gene-regulatory systems underlying agronomic
parameters or/and plant responses to both abiotic and biotic stresses is crucial for crop …

Soil-derived nutrients by plant roots can be limited under increasing environmental stresses
such as higher incidence and duration of heat and drought, which affect agricultural …

The absorption of water and solutes by plant leaves has been recognised since more than
two centuries. Given the polar nature of water and solutes, the mechanisms of foliar uptake …

Developmental age is a strong determinant of stress responses in plants. Differential
susceptibility to various environmental stresses is widely observed at both the organ and …

Nanoplastics alter the adverse impacts of hazardous contaminants such as heavy metals by
changing their adsorption and accumulation. Few findings are available on the interaction …
