Effects of Microplastic Pollution on Growth, Photosynthesis, and Nutritional Composition of Maize (Zea mays L.)

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Microplastic (MP) contamination in agroecosystems is an increasingly recognized environmental concern, whereas its polymer‐specific impacts on plant growth and nutritional composition remain poorly understood. Aim Our study aimed to evaluate how polymer type and concentration of MPs directly affect plant growth, physiological traits,

Effects of ploidy level on leaf morphology, stomata, and anatomical structure of Hibiscus syriacus L.

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Background Hibiscus syriacus L. is a deciduous shrub with a strong environmental resistance and wide application prospects. The genetic background and ploidy levels of Hibiscus cultivars are complex, and polyploid breeding has long been an important ...

Effect of drought stress on yield, proline and chlorophyll contents in three chickpea cultivars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Drought stress is one of the major abiotic stresses in agriculture worldwide. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of drought stress on proline content, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis and transpiration, stomatal conductance and yield

production and stomatal closure in Vicia faba

open access: yes, 2013
Trehalose can reduce stomatal aperture by a hydrogen-peroxide-dependent pathway in Vicia faba L. (cv. Daqingpi) resulting in significantly lower values of net photosynthetic rate (PN), stomatal conductance (gs), and transpiration rate (E). At 8 and 24 h,

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Silicon differentially protects PSII and PSI photochemistry and preserves fatty acid metabolism in salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.)

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) has been demonstrated to be an important element to enhance crop tolerance against salinity. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying Si's mitigation of salt stress remains insufficiently explored and understood. This study aims to provide new insights into Si's impact on salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.) supplied or not ...

Bio‐Derived Carbon Nanoparticles: A Green Amendment for Alleviating Heavy Metals in Soil–Plant Systems

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil–plant systems poses persistent ecological and health risks, driving interest in nanoparticle‐based remediation. Although conventional chemically synthesized nanoparticles (CSNPs) are effective, their energy‐intensive production and residual toxicity limit sustainable deployment.
