Reading tea leaves worldwide: Decoupled drivers of initial litter decomposition mass-loss rate and stabilization
( Wiley , 2024 , Other)The breakdown of plant material fuels soil functioning and biodiversity. Currently, process understanding of global decomposition patterns and the drivers of such patterns are hampered by the lack of coherent large-scale ... -
Response of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) to nitric oxide application under cadmium stress
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Soil contamination with cadmium (Cd) is a persistent threat to crop production worldwide. The present study examined the putative roles of nitric oxide (NO) in improving Cd-tolerance in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.). ... -
A robust field-based method to screen heat tolerance in wheat
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Wheat is highly sensitive to heat shocks and their timing. Hence, field-based ranking for heat tolerance may be confounded by phenological variations at the time of heat events. A photoperiod-extension method (PEM) was ... -
RuBisCO: a sustainable protein ingredient for plant-based foods
( Frontiers Media , 2024 , Article Review)Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO), is a widely available plant protein receiving great interest because of its nutritional and functional properties. It can be a valuable source of protein for vegetarians. ... -
Silicon Enhances Morpho–Physio–Biochemical Responses in Arsenic Stressed Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) by Minimizing Its Uptake
( Springer , 2022 , Article)Soil contamination with toxic heavy metals [such as arsenic (As)] is becoming a serious global problem due to rapid development of social economy. Silicon (Si), being an important fertilizer element, has been found effective ... -
Silver nanoparticles protect tillering in drought-stressed wheat by improving leaf water relations and physiological functioning
( CSIRO Publishing , 2023 , Article)The tillering phase of wheat (Triticum aestivum) crops is extremely susceptible to drought. We explored the potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in protecting wheat genotypes from drought injury during this sensitive ... -
Spectrophotometric Determination of the Honey Bee Quality
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Honey produced by bees from nectar in flowers and plants, is an aqueous supersaturated sugar solution, mainly monosaccharide (fructose and glucose) (70%–80%) and water (10%–20%). 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) content in ... -
Superior leaf physiological performance contributes to sustaining the final yield of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes under terminal heat stress
( Springer , 2023 , Article)This study aimed to optimize methods for identifying heat-tolerant and heat-susceptible cotton plants by examining the relationship between leaf physiology and cotton yield. Cotton accessions were exposed to elevated ... -
S‐Fertilizer (Elemental Sulfur) Improves the Phytoextraction of Cadmium through Solanum nigrum L.
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Soil contamination with toxic heavy metals [such as cadmium (Cd)] is becoming a serious global problem due to the rapid development of the social economy. This study was carried out to assess the beneficial role of two ... -
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) yield response to drip irrigation and nitrogen application rates in open-field cultivation in arid environments
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)A field experiment at Qatar University's Agricultural Research Center examined how varying drip irrigation water and nitrogen levels affect tomato yield, quality, and water-use efficiency. The study employed a split-plot ... -
Understanding the Phytoremediation Mechanisms of Potentially Toxic Elements: A Proteomic Overview of Recent Advances
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Article Review)Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) such as cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), and arsenic (As), polluting the environment, pose a significant risk and cause a wide array of adverse changes in plant physiology. Above ... -
Unveiling the resilience mechanism: Strigolactones as master regulators of plant responses to abiotic stresses
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Strigolactones (SLs) are an emerging class of plant hormones that play important roles in plant growth, development, and response to environmental stresses. This review summarizes recent findings on the roles of SLs in ... -
Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Their Biosynthesis: Overview
( MDPI , 2022 , Article Review)Zinc (Zn) is plant micronutrient, which is involved in many physiological functions, and an inadequate supply will reduce crop yields. Its deficiency is the widest spread micronutrient deficiency problem; almost all crops ... -
Zinc Toxicity and Tolerance in Plants
( Wiley , 2023 , Book chapter)Zinc (Zn) is vital for optimum growth not only for plants but also for humans. In plants, Zn supplement either from natural resources/soil or exogenous application is essential for better flowering and fruiting. The ...
