Enhancing Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Banana (Musa spp.) Using In Vitro Methods and Conserving Germplasm
Abstract: Both biotic and abiotic stressors are the main factors limiting banana output. Research on biotic stressors in bananas has received enough attention globally, whereas abiotic stressors receive less attention. Water availability, salinity, and a wide variety of temperatures are the main problems that must be resolved to maintain banana farming in the twenty-first century. Samples were introduced with water, salt and heat stresses in invitro condition. Under different stress and …

Molecular Characterization of Abiotic Stress Tolerant Chickpea Rhizobia
Abstract: Rhizobacteria are root-colonizing bacteria that form a symbiotic relationship with many legumes. Though parasitic varieties of rhizobacteria exist, the term usually refers to bacteria that form a relationship beneficial for both the parties (mutualism). Such bacteria are often referred to as plant growth promoting rhizobacterias (PGPRs). Though microbial inoculants are indisputably beneficial for crops, they are not widely used in industrial agriculture, as large-scale application techniques have yet to become …

Synthesis of Brassinosteroid with Signaling and Response to Abiotic Stress: Review
Abstract: Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of plant steroid hormones with multiple roles in plant growth, development, and responses to stresses and signaling functions to promote cell expansion and cell division and plays a role in etiolation and reproduction. The entire synthetic pathway of sterol biosynthesis is brassinolide (BL) from the general campesterol synthesis pathway in Arabidopsis. Campesterol converts to BL in two different ways campesterol dependent or campesterol independent pathway. …

Bioinformatics-based Characterization of Stress Tolerance Spermidine Synthase from Zea mays
Abstract: The response to sensing environmental stress by plants is very important and can be short term by the synthesis of some protecting molecules against stress or long term by expressing phenotypic plasticity with alteration of developmental programme. The ability to respond to abiotic stress represents the main constraint on maize production. The spermidine synthase genes (Zmspds1 and Zmspds2) in Zea mays genome were identified by the PCR amplification and expression …

Effect of Seed Priming with Extract of Cissus quadrangularis on Wheat and Mung Seedlings under Different Salt Concentrations
Abstract: Salinity stress inhibits plant growth by affecting morphological, photosynthesis, antioxidant phenomena, and nitrogen metabolism, among other physiological and biochemical processes. In this study, the effects of pre-soaking wheat and mung grains in aqueous extract of Cissus quadrangularis on growth, and antioxidant activity of salt-treated plants, were investigated. The pre-soaking of grains in extract demonstrated a significant enhancement in growth parameters. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidise (GPOX), ascorbate …

Advancing Climate-Resilient Agriculture: Integrative Biotechnological Approaches for Sustainable Crop Production
Abstract: Climate change presents a major challenge to global agriculture by increasing the occurrence and severity of both non-living and living stress factors, such as drought, high temperatures, salt buildup, waterlogging, and new pests and diseases. These stressors interfere with the normal functioning of plants at the physical, chemical, and genetic levels, which in turn results in lower crop yields and poorer quality. While traditional methods of plant breeding played a …

Effect of Salt Stress on Plants: A Review
Abstract: AbstractSalinity may be a major abiotic stress, limiting growth and productivity of plants in many areas of the world. The ability of plants to tolerate salt is set by multiple biochemical pathways that facilitate retention and/or acquisition of water, defend plastid functions, and maintain ion homeostasis. The ability of plants to detoxify radicals underneath conditions of salt stress is perhaps the foremost essential demand. Several salt-tolerant species accumulate methylated metabolites …
