Physiological Responses to Drought, Salinity, and Heat Stress in Plants: A Review

Tiago Benedito dos Santos, Alessandra Ferreira Ribas, Sílvia Graciele Hülse de Souza et al. · 16 Feb 2022

On the world stage, the increase in temperatures due to global warming is already a reality that has become one of the main challenges faced by the scientific community. Since agriculture is highly dependent on climatic conditions, it may suffer a great impact in the short term if no measures are taken to adapt and…

An Overview of Plant Phenolics and Their Involvement in Abiotic Stress Tolerance

Krishna Kumar, Pratima Debnath, Sailendra Singh et al. · 8 Aug 2023

Secondary metabolites, such as phenols and salicylic, play a crucial role in the regulation of development and tolerance mechanisms against a wide range of stresses. During adverse conditions such as biotic and abiotic stresses, plants induce the biosynthesis of phenolic compounds to provide tolerance. Phenolics are secondary aromatic metabolites synthesized through the shikimate/phenylpropanoid pathway or…

Chemistry of Hydrogen Peroxide Formation and Elimination in Mammalian Cells, and Its Role in Various Pathologies

Celia María Curieses Andrés, José Manuel Pérez de la Lastra, Celia Andrés et al. · 25 Jul 2022

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a compound involved in some mammalian reactions and processes. It modulates and signals the redox metabolism of cells by acting as a messenger together with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and the nitric oxide radical (•NO), activating specific oxidations that determine the metabolic response. The reaction triggered determines cell survival or apoptosis, depending…

Arsenic-Induced Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Defense in Plants

Kamrun Nahar, Mohammad Saidur Rhaman, Khursheda Parvin et al. · 2 Apr 2022

The non-essential metalloid arsenic (As) is widely distributed in soil and underground water of many countries. Arsenic contamination is a concern because it creates threat to food security in terms of crop productivity and food safety. Plants exposed to As show morpho-physiological, growth and developmental disorder which altogether result in loss of productivity. At physiological…

The Role of the Hypothalamus–Pituitary–Adrenal (HPA) Axis in Test-Induced Anxiety: Assessments, Physiological Responses, and Molecular Details

Jenalee A. Hinds, Edwin R. Sánchez · 14 Mar 2022

Test anxiety may be a contributing factor to low-performing examination scores among students. There can be numerous physiological responses in the body that lead to test anxiety. One is the body’s response to stress, which activates the brain to release hormones that stimulate central and peripheral nervous responses. The hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis is a known…
