Influence of biosynthesized magnesium oxide nanoparticles on growth and physiological aspects of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) plant, cowpea beetle, and cytotoxicity.

Recently, agricultural management innovation has incorporated engineered nanoparticles. The current investigation was carried out to produce magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgONPs) for the first time applying S. cerevisiae extract.

Biocontrol of early blight disease of eggplant using endophytic Aspergillus terreus: improving plant immunological, physiological and antifungal activities.

Background: The eggplant suffers from many biotic stresses that cause severe damage to crop production. One of the most destructive eggplant pathogens is Alternaria solani, which causes early blight disease. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of fungal endophytes in protecting eggplant against early blight as well as in improving its growth performance.

Inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense and/or Pseudomonas geniculata reinforces flax (Linum usitatissimum) growth by improving physiological activities under saline soil conditions.

Background: Salinized soils negatively affect plant growth, so it has become necessary to use safe and eco-friendly methods to mitigate this stress. In a completely randomized design, a pot experiment was carried out to estimate the influence of the inoculation with endophytic bacterial isolates Azospirillum brasilense, Pseudomonas geniculata and their co-inoculation on growth and metabolic aspects of flax (Linum usitatissimum) plants that already grown in salinized soil.

Results: The results observed that inoculation of salinity-stressed flax plants with the endophytes A.

Grain-Priming with -Arginine Improves the Growth Performance of Wheat ( L.) Plants under Drought Stress.

Drought is the main limiting abiotic environmental stress worldwide. Water scarcity restricts the growth, development, and productivity of crops. Wheat ( L.

Enhancement of Seawater Stress Tolerance in Barley by the Endophytic Fungus .

Symbiotic plant-fungi interaction is a promising approach to alleviate salt stress in plants. Moreover, endophytic fungi are well known to promote the growth of various crop plants. Herein, seven fungal endophytes were screened for salt tolerance; the results revealed that showed a great potentiality in terms of salt tolerance, up to 200 g L.

Efficacy Assessment of Biosynthesized Copper Oxide Nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) on Stored Grain Insects and Their Impacts on Morphological and Physiological Traits of Wheat ( L.) Plant.

Herein, CuO-NPs were fabricated by harnessing metabolites of strain (G3-1) and characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, XRD, TEM, SEM-EDX, FT-IR, and XPS. Spherical, crystallographic CuO-NPs were synthesized in sizes ranging from 14.0 to 47.

Strategy of Salt Tolerance and Interactive Impact of and/or Inoculation on Canola ( L.) Plants Grown in Saline Soil.

A pot experiment was designed and performed in a completely randomized block design (CRBD) to determine the main effect of two plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and their co-inoculation on growth criteria and physio-biochemical attributes of canola plants ( L.) plant grown in saline soil. The results showed that inoculation with two PGPR ( and/or ) energized the growth parameters and photosynthetic pigments of stressed plants.
