Seed biopriming with Parachlorella, Bacillus subtilis, and Trichoderma harzianum alleviates the effects of salinity in soybean.

Background: Seed conditioning with bioinputs (biopriming) offers a promising and sustainable alternative to mitigate the adverse effects of salt stress on soybeans. This study aims to evaluate the potential of isolated or combined biopriming using microalgae and different microorganisms in alleviating salinity-induced stress in soybeans in early-stage.

Methods: Seeds were subjected to five biopriming treatments: Parachlorella sp.

Water-Light Interaction and Its Effect on the Morphophysiology of Vell. Seedlings.

Plant responses to different light and water availability are variable among species and their respective phenotypic plasticity, and the combination between these two abiotic factors can alleviate or intensify stressful effects. This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of exposure time of Vell. seedlings to different water and light availability considering natural radiation variations and the interaction of these factors.

Do Silicon and Salicylic Acid Attenuate Water Deficit Damage in Radlk Seedlings?

Water deficit is one of the factors that most influence plant growth and yield. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of silicon and salicylic acid application and water deficit on the growth and photosynthetic and osmoregulatory metabolism of Radlk. seedlings and their recovery potential after the resumption of irrigation.

Assessing common bean genotypes for resistance to (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).

(Germar) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a major pest of common bean ( L.; Fabales: Fabaceae), and adults can defoliate plants during the whole crop cycle. This study was conducted to evaluate the resistance to in 16 common bean genotypes (14 landraces and 2 cultivars), through three different experiments.

Resistance of Cowpea Genotypes to Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Its Relationship to Resistance-Related Enzymes.

Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) can attack cowpea plants (Vigna unguiculata [L.
