Molybdenum Trioxide Nanoparticles Enhance Wheat Tolerance to Salinity and Temperature Stress by Promoting Rhizobacterial Phytohormone Production and Preserving Photosynthetic Pigments

Development of a zeolite-incorporated microencapsulation system for Bacillus halotolerans: legacy impact on radish and celery under salinity stress

Amelioration of Sodic Soil and Enhancement of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Growth by a Consortium of Lactiplantibacillus pentosus and PGPR

Sodic stress and soil-borne phytopathogens impose severe dual constraints on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) production in arid agro-ecosystems. To address these constraints, an alkali-tolerant bacterial strain, Lactiplantibacillus pentosus QC, was isolated and formulated into a quadruple-strain consortium with functional...

Halotolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria from rice and wheat in sodic soils: Characterization for their potential to alleviate salt stress

It is suggested that selected halotolerant isolates possess multifunctional traits including salt tolerance and potential nutrient-solubilizing capacity, making them promising candidates for biofertilizer development and sustainable agriculture in salt-affected regions.

Deciphering growth performance and metabolic adaptation in salt-stressed Vigna unguiculata L. plants through mycorrhiza and titanium dioxide nanoparticles

Soil salinity is a major environmental constraint limiting crop productivity worldwide. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have emerged as promising tools for enhancing plant tolerance to abiotic stress. However, their combined effects on salt-stressed cowpea have not been...

Foliar Application of Biostimulants Reprograms Antioxidants and Molecular Networks of Wheat Plants Grown in Saline-Alkali Environments.

Collectively, TOE, camphor, and xanthine effectively alleviated saline-alkali stress by enhancing antioxidant defenses, osmotic regulation, and photosynthetic efficiency, demonstrating their potential as sustainable crop stress mitigators.

Biostimulant-Mediated Enhancement of Quinoa Tolerance to NaCl-Induced Salinity Stress Through Foliar Application of Ascorbic Acid, Saponins and Quinoa Seed Extract

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is widely recognized for its relatively high tolerance to salinity, but substantial genotypic variation exists, with some varieties remaining sensitive to severe salt stress. Valorizing quinoa biomass and processing-derived resources also offers opportunities for developing zero-waste...
