The synthesis of capsaicinoids occurs in the placenta of the fruits of pungent peppers. However, the mechanism of capsaicinoids' biosynthesis in pungent peppers under salinity stress conditions is unknown. The Habanero and Maras genotypes, the hottest peppers in the world, were chosen as plant material for this study, and they were grown under normal and salinity (5 dS m ) conditions.

- - The study examined six mungbean parent lines and 15 hybrids to assess their combining ability and heterosis related to yield, revealing significant genetic variability among the genotypes.
- - Findings indicated that both general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) played important roles in the inheritance of traits, with non-additive gene effects being predominant, especially for traits like plant height and seeds per pod.
- - The best general combiners identified were BARI Mung-1, PS-7, and BMXK1-14004, while the top heterotic hybrids for yield were BMXK1-14004 × Sonali mung and BMXK1-14004 × PS-7, suggesting these combinations
This research hypothesized that tolerance of cucumber seedlings to salinity stress could be increased by hydrogen sulfide (HS) treatments. In pot experiments, the cucumber seedlings were exposed to three levels of salt stress (0, 50 and 100 mM NaCl), and NaHS as HS donor was foliar applied to the cucumber seedlings at five different doses (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 µM). The effects of the treatments on cucumber seedlings were tested with plant growth properties as well as physiological and biochemical analyses.

Therefore, stabilization of Cd before uptake is crucial to the conservation of biodiversity and food safety. Owing to the high number of carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups in their structure, humic substances form strong bonds with heavy metals which makes them perfect stabilizing agents.

Different NO doses (0, 50, 100 and 150 µM SNP) were foliarly applied to pepper seedlings grown under the non-saline and saline conditions (50, 100 and 150 mM of NaCl).
