Biostimulants for the Regulation of Reactive Oxygen Species Metabolism in Plants under Abiotic Stress

Cells, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 10(10), P. 2537 - 2537

Published: Sept. 25, 2021

Global food security for a growing population with finite resources is often challenged by multiple, simultaneously occurring on-farm abiotic stresses (i.e., drought, salinity, low and high temperature, waterlogging, metal toxicity, etc.) due to climatic uncertainties variability. Breeding multiple stress tolerance long-term solution, though developing multiple-stress-tolerant crop varieties still challenge. Generation of reactive oxygen species in plant cells common response under diverse which play dual role signaling molecules or damaging agents depending on concentration. Thus, delicate balance generation may improve health, depends the natural antioxidant defense system plants. Biostimulants represent promising type environment-friendly formulation based products that are frequently used exogenously enhance tolerance. In this review, we illustrate potential biostimulants activity major plants conditions their other roles management stresses. have overcome oxidative stress, wider applicability tightly regulated dose, growth stage, variety biostimulants.

Consumer Acceptance of Plant-Based Meat Substitutes: A Narrative Review

Foods, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 11(9), P. 1274 - 1274

Published: April 27, 2022

The great environmental impact of increasing animal product consumption requires the willingness to reduce or substitute meat consumption. A possible product, plant-based substitute, is made from plants and offers a sensory experience similar conventional meat. In this narrative review, we focus on consumer acceptance alternatives. We searched for peer-reviewed studies in SCOPUS Web Science (WoS) up December 2021. Of all 111 records identified, 28 were eligible, and, thus, included review. results imply that established behavior has complex socio-economic implications adoption substitutes. Plant-based was consistently rated more favorably than other products, but nutritional still exist. Environmental health-related factors may contribute market spread substitutes, these alone are not sufficient. Furthermore, so far there no information available about how hypothetical measurements used (such as pay) will translate real life behavior. Despite barriers, certainly potential alternatives, which expected be pronounced future, with health awareness.

Machine Learning for Detection and Prediction of Crop Diseases and Pests: A Comprehensive Survey

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 12(9), P. 1350 - 1350

Published: Sept. 1, 2022

Considering the population growth rate of recent years, a doubling current worldwide crop productivity is expected to be needed by 2050. Pests and diseases are major obstacle achieving this outcome. Therefore, it very important develop efficient methods for automatic detection, identification, prediction pests in agricultural crops. To perform such automation, Machine Learning (ML) techniques can used derive knowledge relationships from data that being worked on. This paper presents literature review on ML sector, focusing tasks classification, pests, with an emphasis tomato survey aims contribute development smart farming precision agriculture promoting will allow farmers decrease use pesticides chemicals while preserving improving their quality production.

Abstract The worldwide agricultural enterprise is facing immense pressure to intensify feed the world’s increasing population while resources are dwindling. Fertilizers which deemed as indispensable inputs for food, fodder, and fuel production now also represent dark side of intensive food system. With most crop systems focused on quantity produce, indiscriminate use fertilizers has created havoc environment damaged fiber biogeosphere. Deteriorated nutritional quality contribution impaired ecosystem services major limiting factors in further growth fertilizer sector. Nanotechnology agriculture come up a better seemingly sustainable solution meet targets well maintaining environmental by less raw materials active ingredients, increased nutrient use-efficiency plants, decreased losses nutrients. However, nanofertilizers so far been limited largely controlled environments laboratories, greenhouses, institutional research experiments; availability large scale still lagging yet catching fast. Despite perceivable advantages, many times debated adoption at scale. scenario gradually changing, worldwide, towards nanofertilizers, especially macronutrients like nitrogen (e.g. market release nano-urea replace conventional urea South Asia), arrest degradation uphold vital critical condition. This review offers discussion purpose with took shape, benefits can be achieved, challenges face development real-world use, substantiated significant pieces scientific evidence available far.

Bacillus thuringiensis PM25 ameliorates oxidative damage of salinity stress in maize via regulating growth, leaf pigments, antioxidant defense system, and stress responsive gene expression

Frontiers in Plant Science, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: July 28, 2022

Soil salinity is the major abiotic stress that disrupts nutrient uptake, hinders plant growth, and threatens agricultural production. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are most promising eco-friendly beneficial microorganisms can be used to improve responses against biotic stresses. In this study, a previously identified B. thuringiensis PM25 showed tolerance up 3 M NaCl. The Halo-tolerant Bacillus demonstrated distinct enhance activities under stress. Antibiotic-resistant Iturin C ( ItuC ) bio-surfactant-producing sfp srfAA genes confer stresses were also amplified in PM25. Under stress, physiological molecular processes followed by over-expression of stress-related (APX SOD) results detected inoculation substantially improved phenotypic traits, chlorophyll content, radical scavenging capability, relative water content significantly increased antioxidant enzyme levels inoculated maize as compared uninoculated plants. addition, PM25-inoculation dramatically soluble sugars, proteins, total phenols, flavonoids reduced oxidative burst Furthermore, PM25-inoculated plants had higher compatible solutes than controls. current plays an important role reducing influencing defense systems genes. These findings suggest multi-stress tolerant could growth mitigating salt which might innovative tool for enhancing yield productivity.
