The results showed that adding SA has a significant impact on seed yield during drought in both locations, with the highest values recorded (320.47 kg d-1) and (327.56 kg.d-1) at 300 ppm of SA. In both locations, stopping irrigation after flowering (65BBCH) has a higher negative impact on seed yield than stopping irrigation after seed development (79 BBCH). The seed yield in Erb...

...e of essential minerals (potassium and calcium) irrespective of varietal differences. However, the performance of TH-6 was better than TS-5. In addition, the seed priming of thiourea enhanced the sesame photosynthetic pigments and efficiency, secondary metabolites production, antioxidant machinery, and nutrient uptake in both varieties which increased growth and development as a result. So, thiourea seed priming is an effective strategy to counteract the negat...

It was concluded that the motivating efficiency of PGPR and Trichoderma in suppressing plant parasitic nematodes and improving growth yield, encourages the future researches to highpoint the fungal and bacterial interactions with plants as biological control agents for ecological remediation....

... the role of silicon and potassium nitrate in dealing with environmental stresses on the resistance of wheat in saline soil. In the in vitro condition, three varieties of wheat were grown on sterile filter paper moistened with 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 mmol/l NaCl solution. The results showed that the wheat cultivars had significant differences in terms of growth response to different concentrations of sodium chloride, and it was the most tolerant to sodium salt ...

... monocytes, eosinophils, potassium, sodium, calcium, and phosphorus, as well as AST, CPK, LDH, glucose, urea, creatinine, bilirubin, ALT, and ALP, were analyzed. Multiple comparisons were made with different diseases, revealing variations between pesticide-exposed and unexposed individuals. The comet assay method was utilized to observe damaged DNA in pesticide-exposed individuals and compare its prevalence across different age groups. The findings indicated a...

... urea, creatinine, salt, potassium, and calcium in both intact and ovariectomized groups (p≤0.05). Additionally, gene expression decreased significantly in the ovariectomized group (p≤0.05). These findings underscore the crucial role of vitamin C in renal function. Upregulation of Nrf2 and TSPO gene expression in ovariectomized rabbits suggests an adaptive response to mitigate ovariectomy-induced kidney tissue damage. Overall, these results highlight the...

...B and C, phosphorus, and potassium. The production of onion is decreasing due to different abiotic and biotic factors. Among the biotic factors, Stemphylium leaf blight caused by Stemphylium vesicarium is one of the most devastating diseases of onion that prevail worldwide and causes a huge economic loss. In present study, different varieties were screened against the Stemphylium leaf blight disease, meteorological variables (temperature, humidity, rainfall, w...

The empirical findings conclude that eco-friendly practices can perform at least equally to or better than conventional practice of crop-residues burning in terms of soil health and yield of subsequent wheat crop. The study findings discour...
