Plants experience oxidative stress upon exposure to heavy metals that leads to cellular damage. In addition, plants accumulate metal ions that disturb cellular ionic homeostasis. To minimize the detrimental effects of heavy metal exposure and their accumulation, plants have evolved detoxification mechanisms. Such mechanisms are mainly based on chelation and subcellular compartmentalization. Chelation of heavy…

There is increasing evidence that the origins of organic acids (OAs) are as important as their roles and pathways of production. This review focuses on information about challenges associated with various aspects of OA production and release in the soil with the primary intention of harmonising different views to enable better understanding of this topic.…
Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses which affects plant cell metabolism and reduces plant productivity. Variations in the antioxidant defence systems under salinity among two bean genotypes were investigated. Our results indicate that the difference between the genotypes in response to salinity is a quantitative trait rather than qualitative since they develop the…
Geraniol is a commercially important terpene alcohol occurring in the essential oils of several aromatic plants. It is one of the most important molecules in the flavour and fragrance industries and is a common ingredient in consumer products produced by these industries. In addition to its pleasant odour, geraniol is known to exhibit insecticidal and…
A field experiment was conducted during the rainy ( kharif ) season in Indian in 2006 to study the effects of foliar applications of different concentrations of seaweed extract (prepared from Kappaphycus alvarezii ) on nutrient uptake, growth and yield of soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] grown under rainfed conditions without the application of…
