Abiotic stress response in plants: integrative genetic pathways and overlapping reactions between abiotic and biotic stress responses
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc, 2012-01)
In all ecosystems, plants continuously face environmental stress and consequently are forced to respond with defensive and adaptive strategies. These responses require the activation of several signaling pathways that ...
Roles of selenium in mineral plant nutrition: ROS scavenging responses against abiotic stresses
(2021-07-01)
Agronomic biofortification of crops with selenium (Se) is an important strategy to minimize hidden hunger and increase nutrient intake in poor populations. Selenium is an element that has several physiological and biochemical ...
Selenium improves photosynthesis and induces ultrastructural changes but does not alleviate cadmium-stress damages in tomato plants
(2020-03-01)
The application of Se to plants growing under Cd contamination may become an alternative strategy to minimize Cd damage. However, there is no specific information available regarding whether Se can affect the anatomical ...
Abiotic Stress Tolerance Including Salt, Drought and Metal(loid)s in Legumes
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2021)
The Leguminosae family constitutes the second most important family of crop plants worldwide. Nowadays, legumes provide one-third of the entire amount of protein for human consumption, animal food and edible and industrial ...
Grafting in Vegetable Crops: A Great Technique for Agriculture
(2018-01-02)
Grafting is a method employed to improve crop production. The first grafted vegetable seedlings used were for Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L.) plants grafted onto Lagenaria siceraria L. rootstock to overcome Fusarium wilt. ...
Abiotic Degradation of Glyphosate into Aminomethylphosphonic Acid in the Presence of Metals
(American Chemical Society, 2014-09)
Glyphosate [N-phosphono-methylglycine (PMG)] is the most used herbicide worldwide, particularly since the development of transgenic glyphosate-resistant (GR) crops. Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) is the main glyphosate ...
Silicon to mitigate stress due to manganese deficiency and water deficit in pre-sprouted sugarcane seedlings (Bibliographic Review)
(2020-01-01)
A bibliographic review was carried out on the benefits of silicon (Si) in alleviating stress at the physiological and nutritional level in pre-sprouted sugarcane seedlings (PSS) submitted to stress due to nutritional ...
Low absorption of silicon via foliar in comparison to root application has an immediate antioxidant effect in mitigating water deficit damage in sugarcane
(2021-01-01)
High root absorption of silicon (Si) in sugarcane plants that accumulate the element attenuates water deficit-induced damage. However, there is a lack of research to identify whether the low relative absorption of Si via ...
Micronutrient fertilization enhances ROS scavenging system for alleviation of abiotic stresses in plants
(2021-03-01)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide at low concentrations act as signaling of several abiotic stresses. Overproduction of hydrogen peroxide causes the oxidation of plant cell lipid phosphate layer ...
Beneficial Effect of Silicon Applied Through Fertigation Attenuates Damage Caused by Water Deficit in Sugarcane
(2021-01-01)
Water deficit limits the establishment of sugarcane that uses Pre-sprouted seedlings (PSS). Silicon (Si) can mitigate the effects of water deficiency, but it is not known if the Si applied through fertigation is efficient ...
