Inter-subfamily cybrid plants between wheat and maize, Zeawheat: Production via an in vitro fertilization system, genome composition, and photosynthetic type.

Introducing genetic resources from distantly related plants is necessary to provide novel traits to crops. However, wide hybridization between wheat and other plants is limited by the elimination of non-wheat chromosomes during the development of interspecific zygotes. In this study, we produced allopolyploid wheat-maize hybrid zygotes with various gamete combinations using an in vitro fertilization system, and monitored their developmental profiles.

Elevated tropospheric ozone and crop production: potential negative effects and plant defense mechanisms.

Ozone (O) levels on Earth are increasing because of anthropogenic activities and natural processes. Ozone enters plants through the leaves, leading to the overgeneration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mesophyll and guard cell walls. ROS can damage chloroplast ultrastructure and block photosynthetic electron transport.

Application of biochar and humic acid improves the physiological and biochemical processes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in conferring plant tolerance to arsenic-induced oxidative stress.

Biochar (BC) and humic acid (HA) are well-documented in metal/metalloid detoxification, but their regulatory role in conferring plant oxidative stress under arsenic (As) stress is poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed at investigating the role of BC and HA (0.2 and 0.

Insight into the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of biostimulating effect of Ascophyllum nodosum and Moringa oleifera extracts to minimize cadmium-induced oxidative stress in rice.

Cadmium (Cd) is a serious threat for environmental sustainability as it can be taken up quickly by plants and transported to the food chain of living organisms. It alters plants' metabolic and physiological activities and causes yield loss, thereby, enhancing plant tolerance to Cd stress is of utmost essential. Therefore, an experiment was executed to investigate the potential role of Ascophyllum nodosum extract (ANE) and moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf extract (MLE) to confer Cd tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa cv.

Insight into the Mechanism of Salt-Induced Oxidative Stress Tolerance in Soybean by the Application of : Coordinated Actions of Osmoregulation, Ion Homeostasis, Antioxidant Defense, and Methylglyoxal Detoxification.

Considering the growth-promoting potential and other regulatory roles of bacteria, we investigated the possible mechanism of the role of in conferring salt tolerance in soybean. Soybean ( cv. BARI Soybean-5) seeds were inoculated with , either through a presoaking with seeds or a direct application with pot soil.

Regulation of Reactive Oxygen Species and Antioxidant Defense in Plants under Salinity.

The generation of oxygen radicals and their derivatives, known as reactive oxygen species, (ROS) is a part of the signaling process in higher plants at lower concentrations, but at higher concentrations, those ROS cause oxidative stress. Salinity-induced osmotic stress and ionic stress trigger the overproduction of ROS and, ultimately, result in oxidative damage to cell organelles and membrane components, and at severe levels, they cause cell and plant death. The antioxidant defense system protects the plant from salt-induced oxidative damage by detoxifying the ROS and also by maintaining the balance of ROS generation under salt stress.

Jute Responses and Tolerance to Abiotic Stress: Mechanisms and Approaches.

Jute ( spp.) belongs to the Malvaceae family, and there are two species of jute, and It is the second-largest natural bast fiber in the world according to production, which has diverse uses not only as a fiber but also as multiple industrial materials. Because of climate change, plants experience various stressors such as salt, drought, heat, cold, metal/metalloid toxicity, and flooding.
