The activation of programmed cell death (PCD) is often a result of complex signalling pathways whose relationship and intersection are not well understood. We recently described a PCD root hair assay and proposed that it could be used to rapidly screen genetic or pharmacological modulators of PCD. To further assess the applicability of the root hair assay for studying multiple signalling pathwa...

Method: Recently, plant hormones have been considered to reduce fungal severity. Five different plant hormones namely 2, 4-D (2,4Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid); BAP (6Benzylaminopurine); Dicamba (3,6Dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid, 3,6-Dichloro-o-anisic acid); IAA (Indole-2-acetic acid) and SA (Salicylic acid) were selected to examine their antifungal activity against the growth of two species of d...

abstract in this study the effect of combination of trichoderma harzianum bi and salicylic acid were studied on root knot nematode (meloidogyne javanica) disease on tomato under green house conditions. the roots of tomato seedlings at six-leaf stage were inoculated with suspensions of fungal antagonist (106 conidia/ ml), 5mm salicylic acid and 2000 second-stage juvenile (j2). combined applicati...

In the present investigation we studied the role of salicylic acid in cadmium induced physiological and biochemical changes and the possible induction of oxidative stress in developing rice roots. 24h cadmium treatment resulted in the inhibition of root dry biomass, root elongation and increased cadmium accumulation in roots. Salicylic acid presoaking for 16hrs resulted in protection against ca...

Present study was conducted to investigate whether plant growth regulators viz. salicylic acid and ascorbic acid can alleviate the adverse effects of drought stress on germination and seedling growth of two sunflower hybrids (Hysun-33 and Hysun-38). Two (-0.06 MPa and -0.12 MPa) levels of drought stress were created by adding different concentrations of (PEG8000) polyethylene glycol in growth m...

PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the effect of salicylic acid on the membrane proteome, sensitivity to antibiotics, and production of microbial keratitis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. METHODS P. aeruginosa 6294 was grown in the presence or absence of 30 mM salicylic acid. Bacterial membrane proteins were extracted in carbonate buffer, separated using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and ...
