Stresses, Volume 5, Issue 2

Abiotic stresses are the major factors limiting grape production in the world. They significantly impede grape growth and production. However, during the grape production stage, plant growth regulators play a crucial role in regulating grape developm...

From germination to harvest, cereal crops are constantly exposed to a broad spectrum of abiotic stresses that significantly hinder their growth and productivity, posing a serious threat to global food security. Seed resilience and performance are fou...

Background: Exposure to early life stress significantly increases the risk of psychopathology later in life. However, the impact of early life stress on the gut microbiome and its potential role in mental health outcomes remains insufficiently unders...

Hans Selye’s stress concept, first introduced in the 1930s, has undergone substantial evolution, extending beyond biology and medicine to influence diverse academic disciplines. Initially, Selye’s General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) describ...

The present research was designed to assess the potential effect of SNP to alleviate salinity stress injury in fig transplants cv. Conadria. One-year-old transplants irrigated with saline water (6.25 ds/m) were treated with sodium nitroprusside (SNP)...

Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) influence soil fertility, plant growth, tolerance to abiotic stress, resistance to herbivorous insects, and plant interactions with other organisms. While the effects of PGPR on plant growth, fruit yield, a...

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a potent mycotoxin, poses a significant threat to animal health through contaminated feed. Our study aims to investigate the neurotoxic effects of AFB1in chickens, with a special emphasis on the brain. Seven-day-old chickens were...

Argentina is among the top consumers of herbicides, yet studies on their environmental and health impact remain scarce. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of herbicide exposure on Pomacea canaliculata as potential biomarkers of contamination. Sp...

Exposing insects to mild and/or severe heat can protect them from future heat stress by regulating the expression of certain stress markers. In this study, 60 queen larvae, one day old, were divided into the following two groups: a control group of n...

The relationship between various central nervous system (CNS) disorders linked to pesticide exposure highlights a growing concern worldwide, as the extensive use of these compounds causes toxic effects on the CNS of non-target organisms. Reports indi...

Soil microorganisms provide multifaceted benefits, including maintaining soil nutrient dynamics, improving soil structure, and instituting decomposition, all of which are important to soil health. Unpredictable weather events, including flooding from...

The aim of the present study was to assess heavy metal tolerance and its accumulation potential in coastal nitrophilic species Rumex maritimus, and to study the possible effects of nitrogen fertilizer and salinity on the characteristics of metal-trea...

Cross-kingdom infections, where pathogens from one kingdom infect organisms of another, were historically regarded as rare anomalies with minimal concern. However, emerging evidence reveals their increasing prevalence and potential to disrupt the del...

Abiotic stresses like heat and salinity challenge crop production, but cultivar-specific adaptability and tolerance inducers can mitigate their impact. This study examined the growth and biochemical responses of five tomato varieties (Adeleza F1, Sai...

Cellular stressors have been demonstrated to exert a substantial influence on the functionality of organelles, thereby impacting cellular homeostasis and contributing to the development of disease pathogenesis. This review aims to examine the impact...

Mushrooms play an important role in ecosystem sustainability and are highly valued in medicine and human nutrition. Using AAS and biochemical methods of analysis, the antioxidant status and mineral composition of seven mushroom species (Armillaria me...

Bacillus halotolerans, a halophilic bacterial species of the genus Bacillus, is emerging as a biological control agent with immense potential for sustainable agriculture, particularly in extreme conditions and environmental rehabilitation. This revie...
