Induction of Systemic Resistance in Linn. to Control Root Rot and Wilt Diseases Using Biotic and Abiotic Inducers.

The possibility of inducing systemic resistance in roselle against root rot and wilt diseases was investigated using biotic and abiotic inducers. The biotic inducers included three biocontrol agents (i.e.

Impact of Folic Acid in Modulating Antioxidant Activity, Osmoprotectants, Anatomical Responses, and Photosynthetic Efficiency of Under Salinity Conditions.

Salinity is a major threat to the sustainability of agricultural production systems. Salt stress has unfavorable implications on various plant physio-morphological and biochemical reactions, causing osmotic and ionic stress. Exogenously applied folic acid (FA) may at least provide one mechanism to evade the injurious stress effects of saline irrigation water on .

Biological Control of Celery Powdery Mildew Disease Caused by DC In Vitro and In Vivo Conditions.

The present study aimed to investigate the potentiality of certain biocontrol agents, namely , , , , , , and , as well as the synthetic fungicide difenoconazole to control celery powdery mildew caused by DC, in vitro (against conidia germination and germ tube length of ) and in vivo (against disease severity and AUDPC). In vitro, it was found that the antifungal activity of the tested biocontrol agents significantly reduced the germination percentage of the conidia and germ tube length of the pathogen. The reduction in conidia germination ranged between 88.

Integrated Application of Selenium and Silicon Enhances Growth and Anatomical Structure, Antioxidant Defense System and Yield of Wheat Grown in Salt-Stressed Soil.

Selenium (Se) and silicon (Si) are considered advantageous elements to induce plants' tolerance to various environmental stresses. Wheat yield is negatively affected by salinity stress, especially in dry and semi-dry areas. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to investigate the effects of Se, Si and their combinations (0 as control, Se Se Si Si Se + Si and Se + Si mM) in alleviating the deleterious effects of salinity stress (7.
