This review deals with the adaptive mechanisms that plants can implement to cope with the
challenge of salt stress. Plants tolerant to NaCl implement a series of adaptations to …

In order to cope with challenges linked to climate change such as salinity, plants must
develop a wide spectrum of physiological and molecular mechanisms to rapidly adapt. Stevia …

Despite the long-established importance of salicylic acid (SA) in plant stress responses and
other biological processes, its biosynthetic pathways have not been fully characterized. The …

BACKGROUND Compost is emerging as an alternative plant growing medium in efforts to
achieve more sustainable agriculture. The addition of specific microorganisms such as …

This study looks at the effects of potassium nitrate (KNO 3 ) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP),
a nitric oxide (NO)-donor, on the development, antioxidant defences and on the abscisic …

BACKGROUND: The use of isolates of the genus Trichoderma to control Fusarium wilt in
melon plants is one of the most recent and effective alternatives to chemical treatments. In this …

Salicylic acid (SA) plays a central role in plant responses to environmental stresses. In a
recent study, we suggested a third pathway for SA biosynthesis from mandelonitrile (MD) in …

The emerging lettuce big-vein disease (LBVD) is causing losses in lettuce production ranging
from 30 to 70% worldwide. Several studies have associated this disease with Mirafiori …

Salinity is considered as one of the most important abiotic challenges that affect crop productivity.
Plant hormones, including salicylic acid (SA), are key factors in the defence signalling …

Highlight We show that the recently suggested third pathway for SA biosynthesis from
mandelonitrile in peach is also functional under both abiotic and biotic stress conditions. Abstract …
