Abiotic stresses such as drought, heat, cold, nutrient deficiency, excess salt and hazardous metals can hamper plantgrowth development. Intensive agriculture of only a few major staple food crops that are sensitive intolerant to environmental has led an agrarian crisis. On the other hand, nutritionally rich, gluten free stress tolerant plants like millets neglected underutilized. Millets sustai...

Selenium (Se) deficiency in human and animal nutrition is primarily due to low levels of Se soils. It can be prevented by enriching crops, such as wheat, with through agronomic biofortification. Although not essential for plants, it shows a dual effect on their metabolism depending its concentration. This study aimed elucidate the impact five different concentrations (0.4, 4, 20, 40, 400 mg/kg)...

In this paper, the author discusses effects of drought stress on pearl millet genotypes during vegetative stage development and plant’s mechanisms for survivability under with various nitrogen treatment regimes. A total six conditions were imposed plants, i.e., N0 (no Nitrogen-0 mM), N0+PEG-10%, LN (low Nitrogen-2.5 LN+PEG-10%, HN (high Nitrogen-7.0 HN+PEG-10%. Five days moderate caused signifi...

The olive species (Olea europaea L.) is an ancient traditional crop grown under rainfed conditions in the Mediterranean Basin. In response to growing national and international demand for oil, cultivars are introduced into highly arid new bioclimatic areas. Subsequently, morpho-physiology phytochemistry of trees potentially changing among cultivar types geographical conditions. present work, we...
