Evaluation of the Biostimulant Activity of Zaxinone Mimics (MiZax) in Crop Plants.

Global food security is a critical concern that needs practical solutions to feed the expanding human population. A promising approach is the employment of biostimulants to increase crop production. Biostimulants include compounds that boost plant growth.

Growth and Biochemical Responses of Potato Cultivars under In Vitro Lithium Chloride and Mannitol Simulated Salinity and Drought Stress.

Globally, drought and salinity stress critically constrain potato ( L.) production. Considering the impact of these stresses on crops and increasing food demand, insight into both tolerance and susceptibility is essential.

Early Growth Stage Characterization and the Biochemical Responses for Salinity Stress in Tomato.

Salinity is one of the most significant environmental stresses for sustainable crop production in major arable lands of the globe. Thus, we conducted experiments with 27 tomato genotypes to screen for salinity tolerance at seedling stage, which were treated with non-salinized (S1) control (18.2 mM NaCl) and salinized (S2) (200 mM NaCl) irrigation water.

Metabolomic and Biochemical Analysis of Two Potato ( L.) Cultivars Exposed to In Vitro Osmotic and Salt Stresses.

Globally, many crop production areas are threatened by drought and salinity. Potato ( L.) is susceptible to these challenging environmental conditions.

Association of tomato leaf curl Sudan virus with leaf curl disease of tomato in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Tomato is an important vegetable crop and its production is adversely affected by leaf curl disease caused by begomovirus. Leaf curl disease is a serious concern for tomato crops caused by begomovirus in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Tomato leaf curl disease has been shown to be mainly caused either by tomato leaf curl Sudan virus or tomato yellow leaf curl virus as well as tomato leaf curl Oman virus.

Molecular mapping in oil radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and QTL analysis of resistance against beet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii).

The beet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii Schmidt) can be controlled biologically in highly infected soils of sugar beet rotations using resistant varieties of oil radish (Raphanus sativus L. ssp. oleiferus DC.
