ABSTRACT Drought stress is one of the main abiotic factors that modulates the morphology and physiology of crops. This study investigated the effect of foliar application of β-carotene on the growth, physiological, and biochemical responses of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) under drought stress conditions. A...

BACKGROUND
Drought severely limits mungbean (Vigna radiata) growth by disrupting physiological and metabolic processes. Although γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) enhances abiotic stress tolerance, its dose-dependent effects across different drought intensities in mungbean remain unclear.
RESULTS
This study evaluated the ef...

Abstract Salinity is a major constraint to wheat productivity, imposing osmotic stress, ionic imbalance, and oxidative pressure that compromise growth and yield. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can improve wheat performance under salinity through effects extending beyond nutrient acquisition. This review examines the cont...

Lead (Pb) is one of the most toxic heavy metals adversely affecting agricultural productivity, soil health, and food safety. Organic amendments (OAs), particularly biochar (BC) and compost (C), can mitigate heavy metal toxicity through Pb (II) immobilization, improved soil physicochemical properties, enhanced nutrient...

This review reframes wheat salinity adaptation as a crosstalk-driven process linking early root perception with whole-plant acclimation and yield-related outcomes, and identifies key signaling hubs and physiological trade-offs that may guide breeding, genome editing, priming, and agronomic strategies for improving whea...

Evidence from functional genomics studies demonstrates that sulfur metabolism is closely integrated with redox signaling, stress tolerance, and plant immunity, which supports a view of sulfur metabolism as a dynamic regulatory network rather than a linear nutrient‐assimilation pathway.

It is proposed that sulfur metabolism should be viewed as a dynamic resource allocation network rather than a linear assimilation pathway, to help identify regulatory variants that improve sulfur-use efficiency, stress resilience, immunity, and grain quality without compromising yield stability.
