Understanding Heat Tolerance In Crops Crop tolerance to excessive heat and wide temperature fluctuations, often referred to as heat tolerance, is crucial for ensuring crop productivity in regions prone to high temperatures and erratic temperature variations. Heat stress can adversely affect various plant processes, leading to reduced growth, yield losses, and impaired quality. Developing crops […]

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a class of plant hormones that play a significant role in various physiological processes, including cell elongation, cell division, seed germination, flowering, and stress tolerance.

Silica (Si) is not considered an essential nutrient for all plants, but it is beneficial and plays a significant role in the growth and development of many plant species. Silica is primarily absorbed by plants in the form of silicic acid (Si(OH)4) through the roots. Once absorbed, it accumulates in plant tissues as amorphous silica, […]

Cobalt (Co) is considered a beneficial element for some plants rather than an essential nutrient. While it is not a universally recognized essential nutrient for all plant species, certain plants, particularly legumes, have been shown to benefit from cobalt. Here’s an overview of the potential roles of cobalt in plant growth and development, especially in […]
