Silicon (Si), the second most abundant element in Earth's crust, exerts beneficial effects on
the growth and productivity of a variety of plant species under various environmental …

Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important elements that has a central impact on plant growth
and yield. N is also widely involved in plant stress responses, but its roles in host-pathogen …

The present study aims to analyse the potential crosstalk between nitric oxide (NO) and
hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) in triggering resilience of maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings to hexavalent …

The current research aimed to assess the protective role of nitric oxide (NO) against
chromium (Cr) toxicity in maize seedlings. Chromium (200 µM) lowered osmotic potential in …

Chromium (Cr) represents an important source of metallic stress in plants. Working with
maize (Zea mays) seedlings, we characterize the suppressive effects of exogenously applied …

Phenolic compounds constitute probably the largest group of plant secondary metabolites
and have key roles in plant metabolism. Simulated nitrogen (N) deposition is important to …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane channel proteins regulating the flux of water and other
various small solutes across membranes. Significant progress has been made in …

Salt stress is a major environmental threat to meeting the food demands of an increasing
global population. The identification and exploitation of salt adaption mechanisms in plants are …

Drought priming is a promising approach to improve tolerance to further drought in wheat.
The root apex plays important roles in drought however, its contribution to drought priming …

The use of exogenous compounds such as ‘gasotransmitter’ molecules is a well-established
agronomic strategy to improve the crop tolerance to environmental stresses. In this current …
