Editorial: Plant secondary metabolites and their effects on environmental adaptation based on functional genomics
(
Frontiers Media
, 2023 , Other)
Secondary metabolites are organic compounds produced by plants that are not directly involved in growth, development, or reproduction, but play important roles in adaptation to the environment (Hu et al., 2018). These ...
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 ...
Molecular Evidence of Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation Inhibition by a Combination of Selected Qatari Medicinal Plants Crude Extracts
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy, and conventional medicine has failed
to establish efficient treatment modalities. Conventional medicine failed due to lack of knowledge of
the mechanisms that underpin ...
Changes in secondary metabolites contents and stress response in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge via ScWRKY35 overexpression: insights from a Salvia castanea homolog
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Salvia castanea Diels, a close wild relative to the medicinal plant, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, primarily grows in high-altitude regions. While the two species share similar active compounds, their content varies significantly. ...
Assessment of Heat Risk of Winter Wheat Cropping Based on Long-Term Meteorological Data
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
The frequency of heat events is likely to increase due to global climate change, posing an increasing risk to wheat production. To optimize crop management strategies for coping with future climates, it is crucial to ...
The Dynamics of Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals: Recent Progress and Future Perspective
(
Wiley
, 2023 , Book chapter)
The gradually accelerating and intensive pollution of biosphere with toxic elements has threatened the living beings. This phenomenon seems to be inexorable and unacceptable for the sustainable development, moreover the ...
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 ...
Ecological impacts and potential hazards of nickel on soil microbes, plants, and human health
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Nickel (Ni) contamination poses a serious environmental concern, particularly in developing countries: where, anthropogenic activities significantly contributes to Ni accumulations in soils and waters. The contamination ...
Ecological risks of microplastics contamination with green solutions and future perspectives
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The rise of plasticulture as mulching material in farming systems has raised concerns about microplastics (MPs) in the agricultural landscape. MPs are emerging pollutants in croplands and water systems with significant ...
Nano-Priming for Inducing Salinity Tolerance, Disease Resistance, Yield Attributes, and Alleviating Heavy Metal Toxicity in Plants
(
MDPI
, 2024 , Article Review)
In today’s time, agricultural productivity is severely affected by climate change and increasing pollution. Hence, several biotechnological approaches, including genetic and non-genetic strategies, have been developed and ...
