Influence of salicylic acid on phytochelatin synthesis in Zea mays during Cd stress [PDF]
, 2013 : Presoaking maize (Zea mays) seeds in salicylic acid (SA) reduces damage caused by cadmium. In the present work the possible role of phytochelatins (PCs) in SA-mediated protection against Cd toxicity was investigated. Seeds were presoaked in 0.5 mM SA,

Nitric oxide alleviates cadmium- but not arsenic-induced damages in rice roots [PDF]
, 2020 Nitric oxide (NO) has signalling roles in plant stress responses. Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) soil pollutants alter plant development, mainly the root-system, by increasing NO-content, triggering reactive oxygen species (ROS), and forming peroxynitrite

Legacy of land use history determines reprogramming of plant physiology by soil microbiome
The ISME Journal, 2018 Microorganisms associated with roots are thought to be part of the so-called extended plant phenotypes with roles in the acquisition of nutrients, production of growth hormones, and defense against diseases.

Daily humidity oscillation regulates the circadian clock to influence plant physiology
Nature Communications, 2018 Early circadian studies in plants by de Mairan and de Candolle alluded to a regulation of circadian clocks by humidity. However, this regulation has not been described in detail, nor has its influence on physiology been demonstrated. Here we report that,
