Drought stress is significant abiotic that limits crop growth and productivity across the globe. The intensity of drought continuously rises due to rapid climate change. Drought-induced alterations in physiological bio-chemical processes by generating membrane dis-stability, oxidative stress, nutritional imbalance leading substantial reduction productivity. Plants accumulate various osmolytes p...

Pea is a seed legume. It rich in cellulose fibre and protein. also significant source of minerals vitamins. In this paper, we set out to better characterize the physiological responses Pisum sativum L. combined effects NaCl, 100 mM gibberellins (GA3). Our analysis revealed that NaCl caused decrease growth resulting reduction root elongation, distribution density, leaf number area, dry matter ro...

Because of global warming and decreased river flows, all Pakistan's provinces, especially large parts Sind Baluchistan, have been experiencing water shortages for decades. Based on such climatic changes several management techniques recommended to cope through drought stress. This study is focused the assumption that seed soaking Triticum aestivumL. at low (4 °C) high (80 temperature (thermopri...

Osmolytes are a class of compounds ubiquitously used by living organisms to respond to cellular stress or to fine-tune molecular properties in the cell. These compounds are also highly useful in vitro. In this chapter, we give an overview of the possible uses of osmolytes in the laboratory, and how we can investigate and understand their modes of action. Experimental procedures are discussed wi...

tobacco is a salt-sensitive glycophyte crop species. in this work effect of silicone (si) supplementation (1 mm as na2sio3) was studied in nicotiana rustica l. cv. basmas grown hydroponically in growth chamber under control, low (25 mm) and high (75 mm) nacl concentration for two weeks. dry matter production of leaves was depressed by salinity level as low as 25 mm and higher salt concentration...
