Impact of the microalga (Dunal) Teodoresco culture and its β-carotene extract on the development of salt-stressed squash ( L. cv. Mabrouka).

Unlabelled: Salinity is a major threat to crop production and global food security. Algae and their extracts containing bioactive compounds can enhance the salt tolerance of plants, including the salt-sensitive plants. The current study evaluated the efficacy of (Dunal) Teodoresco culture and/or its β-carotene extract in improving the salt tolerance of squash L.

Algal amendment improved yield and grain quality of rice with alleviation of the impacts of salt stress and water stress.

The hazardous effect of abiotic stress and the beneficial effect of organic amendments on rice have been extensively studied during the vegetative stage, but little information is available regarding rice yield. Therefore, the response of rice yield to abiotic stress × organic amendment interaction needs thorough investigation. The differential potency of aqueous extract and biomass of the seaweed in alleviation of NaCl salinity and PEG-6000 water stress, at Ψ of -0.

High external Na, but not K, stimulates the growth of Ulva lactuca (L.) via induction of the plasma membrane ATPases and achievement of K/Na homeostasis.

This study aims at investigating the specific ion effects of Na and K on Ulva lactuca (L.) growth. U.

The aqueous extract and powder of the brown alga (Hudson) differentially alleviate the impact of abiotic stress on rice ( L.).

Algal supplements can improve crop productivity and afford protection against abiotic stress by virtue of their rich content of plant nutrients and bioactive compounds. The present work investigates the relative efficiency of the biomass and extract of the brown alga in protection of rice against salinity and water stress. Rice ( L.
