Physiological features were examined of a 20-year-old Vitis vinifera ‘Italia’ table grape vineyard cropped in Apulia, Italy. Healthy vines with no foliar symptoms and any indications wood or berry alterations, natural infections by Phaeoacremonium minimum (syn. P. aleophilum) Phaeomoniella chlamydospora showing brown streaking symptoms, naturally infected minimum, Fomitiporia mediterranea white...

Cultivation conditions may greatly affect fruit quality, especially in the accumulation of functional metabolites. Blackcurrant fruits (Ribes nigrum L.) have high ascorbic acid (AsA) concentrations. The purpose current study was to investigate influence different shading treatments (full sunlight, and 40% 60% sunlight) on fruits’ maturity, levels firmness, soluble solid, AsA, enzyme activity in...

Heavy metals are the cause of major abiotic stresses in plants and a principal contributor to environmental pollution in recent decades. This study investigated the effects of exogenous hydrogen sulfide on the ascorbate-glutathione cycle in the leaves of coriander seedlings under copper stress. Results showed that copper stress not only reduced APX and GR activities but also decreased leaf AsA,...

Riparian tree species are thought to be sensitive the more frequent and intensive drought heat events that projected occur in future. However, compared waterlogging, information about responses of these water limitation is still scare. Black alder (Alnus glutinosa L.) a riparian with significant ecological economic importance Europe. In present study, we investigated physiological black differe...

Heavy metal pollution is one of the major agronomic challenges. Tungsten (W) exposure leads to its accumulation in plants, which turn reduces plant growth, inhibits photosynthesis and induces oxidative damage. In addition, predicted increase CO2 could boost growth under both optimal heavy stress conditions. The aim present study was investigate effect W on photosynthetic parameters, redox statu...

Abstract Drought is a major abiotic stress, affecting the metabolism, growth, and productivity of plants worldwide. Therefore, this study aimed/hypothesized to investigate ameliorative effects biochar rhizobacteria in drought-damaged Brassica napus L. genotypes. The were divided into two groups based on drought stress employment (15 days 30 days). Both then treated with PGPR, biochar, their co-...

Salinity and drought stress are significant environmental threats, alone or in combination. The current study was conducted to investigate the morpho-physiology, osmotic adjustment, oxidative stress, antioxidant defense methylglyoxal detoxification of three rice genotypes from indica (cv. BRRI dhan29 dhan48) japonica Koshihikari) groups. Eighteen-day-old seedlings these were exposed either sali...

Yellow mosaic virus (YMV) transmitted by whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) causes yellow disease (YMD) in blackgram cultivars only during kharif season but was not observed the same sown spring season. The main objective of present investigation to study cooperative role various antioxidative enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), guaiacol (GPOX), glutat...

The effect of four soil-applied sulfur (100 mg S kg?1 soil (100S) and 200 (200S)) in different sources (elemental S, ammonium sulfate, gypsum or magnesium sulfate) protecting mustard (Brassica juncea L. (Czern & Coss.)) from cadmium effects was studied. Based on the observed reduction growth photosynthesis plants subjected to 100 Cd soil, B. cv. Giriraj selected as most Cd-tolerant among fi...
