PROVISION OF MICRORHIZA FUNGI AGAINST SALINE STRESS IN CHILI PLANTS

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ameliorate temperature stress in thermophilic plants.

Biotic interactions can affect the distribution of species across environmental gradients, and as air and soil temperatures increase, plant community response may depend on interactions with symbionts. We measured the effect of elevated soil temperatures on mycorrhizal function and on the response of both plant and fungal symbionts, using fungal inoculum isolated from either high-temperature th...

Quercetin feeding protects plants against oxidative stress

Flavonoids are a complex group of plant-made phenolic Background: compounds that are considered of high nutraceutical value. Their beneficial impacts on human health relate predominantly to their capacity to serve as antioxidants, thus protecting cells against the damaging impact of reactive oxygen species. Recent studies have also pointed at an essential role for flavonoids as antioxidants in ...

Measurement of Chili Pepper Plants Size Based on Mathematical Morphology

Since chili pepper plant size directly reflects the state of plant growth, a method for pepper measurement of plants size was discussed here. Pepper plants were shot from above once per week in the greenhouse since being field planted in spring. The method of processing the pepper plant images was studied, in which the image segmentation of combination of color space and the image morphological...

The effect of saline stress on physiological and morphological parameters in Callistemon citrinus plants

Dehydrins Impart Protection against Oxidative Stress in Transgenic Tobacco Plants

Environmental stresses generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) which might be detrimental to the plants when produced in an uncontrolled way. However, the plants ameliorate such stresses by synthesizing antioxidants and enzymes responsible for the dismutation of ROS. Additionally, the dehydrins were also able to protect the inactivation of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase against hydroxyl radica...
