Positive Salt Tolerance Modulation via Vermicompost Regulation of SOS1 Gene Expression and Antioxidant Homeostasis in Plant.

Strategic implementation of vermicompost as safe biofertilizer besides defensing saline soils offer dual function solving problems in developing countries. The current study aims to utilize vermicompost (VC) for amelioration of 200mM NaCl in Aspani cultivar and investigate the molecular role of salt overly sensitive pathway (SOS1). The experiment was conducted following a completely randomized design with three replicates.

Improved of growth and phytostabilization potential of lead (Pb) in L. under the effect of IAA and GA alone and in combination with EDTA by altering biochemical attributes of stressed plants.

This study evaluated the effect of EDTA, IAA and GA alone and in combination in improving plant growth, Pb accumulation, and management of effective mechanisms associated with alleviation of Pb-induced adverse effect in L. grown on industrial area in Alexandria. In this regards, 10-week-old plants were subjected to IAA and GA as a foliar spray and EDTA was supplied in two doses 50 and 200mgkg soil.

Molecular and Physiological Mechanisms of Heavy Metal Tolerance in Atriplex halimus.

A study was carried out to identify the mechanisms underlying stress caused by Cd and Pb accumulation in leaves of Atriplex halimus L. collected from habitats representing different kinds of pollution. Mean concentrations of Cd and Pb in aerial parts exceeded the critical levels in polluted plants as compared to reference plants.
