The substantial influence of microbes on crop growth, stress resilience, and ecological restoration has generated considerable interest due to the intricate interplay between these microorganisms plants. This study comprehensively examines diverse mechanisms through which contribute plant well-being, mitigate stress, facilitate phytoremediation processes. Microorganisms encompassing bacteria, fungi, archaea, viruses, have demonstrated their knack for stirring up growth-enabling hormones, activating pathways tuned ameliorating availability nutrients by means fixation solubilization Furthermore, such also display immense potential in field strategies aiding plants extraction, alteration, detoxification contaminants found both soil water. Complementing this, enable phytoextraction, rhizofiltration, phytostabilization, rhizodegradation, owing harmonious interaction with purification tainted environments. However, it is critical address legal issues, moral dilemmas, unintended consequences as are increasingly incorporated into sustainable agriculture methods. Optimizing microbial therapies ensuring appropriate use offers promising insights when leveraging cutting-edge technologies like omics genetic engineering. Coordination among academics, practitioners, policymakers still crucial quest a more robust peaceful coexistence microbes, plants, ecosystems. In nutshell, this work highlights pivotal role that poised assume, guiding trajectory agriculture, alleviating fostering environmental sustainability far-reaching implications.

Plastic Pollution in Agriculture as a Threat to Food Security, the Ecosystem, and the Environment: An Overview

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(3), P. 548 - 548

Published: March 7, 2024

Plastic products in plant production and protection help farmers increase crop production, enhance food quality, reduce global water use their environmental footprint. Simultaneously, plastic has emerged as a critical ecological issue recent years, its pollution significantly impacted soil, water, plants. Thus, this review examines the multifaceted problems of agriculture risk to security, ecosystem, environment. The study’s objective was present most information on using different agriculture, sources pollution, advantages drawbacks products, strategies for mitigating agriculture. Furthermore, after examining current applications, benefits, adverse effects, risks plants, environment, we addressed requirements technological advancements, regulations, social processes that could contribute our ecosystems. We identified pathways toward more sustainable plastics discussed future research directions.

Utilizing hydrothermal time models to assess the effects of temperature and osmotic stress on maize (Zea mays L.) germination and physiological responses

BMC Plant Biology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 23(1)

Published: Sept. 7, 2023

The application of germination models in economic crop management makes them extremely useful for predicting seed germination. Hence, we examined the effect varying water potentials (Ψs; 0. - 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 MPa) and temperatures (Ts; 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 °C) on maize enzymatic antioxidant mechanism. We observed that Ts Ψs significantly influenced percentage (GP) rate (GR), other parameters, including index (GRI), (GI), mean (MGI), time (MGT), coefficient velocity (CVG), energy (GE) (p ≤ 0.01). Maximum (87.60) minimum (55.20) hydro-time constant (θH) were reported at 35 °C 20 °C, respectively. In addition, base potential 50 percentiles was highest 30 (15.84 lowest (15.46 MPa). Furthermore, optimal, low, ceiling T (To, Tb Tc, respectively) determined as θT1 θT2 (0 (- 0.9 MPa), HTT has a higher value (R2 = 0.43 sub-optimal than supra-optimal 0.41 °C). Antioxidant enzymes, peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate (APX), glutathione (GPX), increased with decreasing Ψs. contrast, CAT POD but declined °C. APX GPX remained unchanged Thus, maintaining activity is protective mechanism against oxidative stress. A decline characteristics may result from diverting to anti-stress tools (antioxidant enzymes) necessary eliminating reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduce salinity-induced damage. parameters this study are easily applicable simulation Z. mays L. under extreme environmental conditions characterized by deficits temperature fluctuations.
