Signalling molecule “calcium” improves germination and growth of Sorghum bicolor seedlings under salt stress
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Abiotic stress, mainly in the form of extreme temperatures, drought and salinity has caused major crop losses worldwide, putting a severe strain on agriculture. Salinity severely limits plant growth and productivity and ...
Effects of nitric oxide on novel soybean cystatin gene expression under salt stress in soybean
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to orchestrate multiple defense responses to both abiotic and biotic stress. Importantly, elevation of nitric oxide content in plants by using nitric oxide generating compounds has been ...
Characterization of a novel soybean candidate glutathione peroxidase/thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase under salt stress
(2012)
The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is prominent in all aerobic metabolisms including plants. For this reason, the redox homeostasis of the production and scavenging of these intermediates is imperative for ...
The role of p-coumaric acid on physiological and biochemical response of chia seedling under salt stress
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The role of phenolic acids in mitigating salt stress tolerance have been well documented. However, there are contradicting reports on the effect of exogenously applied phenolic acids on the growth and development of various ...
