Pure Organic Active Compounds Against Abiotic Stress: A Biostimulant Overview

Abiotic Stress Signaling in Plants–An Overview

Abiotic stress factors [such as salinity, water availability (less or excess water), temperature extremes (freezing, cold, or high), metal/metalloids, nutrient stress, etc.] are basically severe menaces to the global agriculture, restricting the crop plants from reaching their full genetic potential and causing significant yield losses worldwide. In general, stresses are complex and multigenic ...

∗Emission and Function of Volatile Organic Compounds in Response to Abiotic Stress

Protein S-nitrosylation in plants under abiotic stress: an overview

Abiotic stress is one of the main problems affecting agricultural losses, and understanding the mechanisms behind plant tolerance and stress response will help us to develop new means of strengthening fruitful agronomy. The mechanisms of plant stress response are complex. Data obtained by experimental procedures are sometimes contradictory, depending on the species, strength, and timing applied...

Novel compounds active against Leishmania major.

Leishmania major is an important trypanosomatid pathogen that causes leishmaniasis, which is a serious disease in much of the Old World. Current treatments include a small number of antimony compounds that, while somewhat effective, are limited by serious side effects. We have screened a small portion of a unique chemical library and have found at least three novel compounds that are effective ...

Genomics Approaches for Crop Improvement against Abiotic Stress

As sessile organisms, plants are inevitably exposed to one or a combination of stress factors every now and then throughout their growth and development. Stress responses vary considerably even in the same plant species; stress-susceptible genotypes are at one extreme, and stress-tolerant ones are at the other. Elucidation of the stress responses of crop plants is of extreme relevance, consider...
