Abiotic stresses and climate changes cause severe loss of yield and quality of crops and reduce the production area worldwide. Flooding stress curtails soybean growth, yield, and quality and ultimately threatens the global food supply chain. Flooding tolerance is a multigenic trait.

First Record of (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) Entomopathogenic Fungus in the Mango Hopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae).

Mango hopper ( Lethierry) causes devastations in the early vegetative stage of the mango crop. The classical management of mango hopper is with systemic insecticides but their overuse has caused environmental pollution. Here, we have evaluated the entomopathogenic role of through bioassay and optimized media for its large-scale culturing.

Effect of and on alleviating aluminum toxicity state in the albino rats.

The study objective was to evaluate potential and combination's potential to reduce aluminum toxicity and return to the normal state. In the present study, a hundred albino rats were randomly divided into five equal groups. The first group was used as a control group; the other four groups were exposed to aluminum 1,600 ppm.

Validating the Impact of Water Potential and Temperature on Seed Germination of Wheat ( L.) via Hydrothermal Time Model.

Wheat is the most extensively cultivated crop and occupies a central place in human nutrition providing 20% of the daily food calories. This study was conducted to find both T and ψ effects on wheat germination and the cardinal Ts value; a lab experiment was accomplished using HTT models. Cultivars were germinated under different accelerated aging periods (AAP, 0, 24, 48, and 72 h) at each of the following constant Ts of 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 °C at each of the ψs of 0, -0.

Mechanism of Wheat Leaf Rust Control Using Chitosan Nanoparticles and Salicylic Acid.

Wheat leaf rust is one of the world's most widespread rusts. The progress of the disease was monitored using two treatments: chitosan nanoparticles and salicylic acid (SA), as well as three application methods; spraying before or after the inoculation by 24 h, and spraying both before and after the inoculation by 24 h. Urediniospore germination was significantly different between the two treatments.
