Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthetic responses of corn and soybean to foliar application of salicylates.
TL;DR: The effects of foliar applied SA, acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) and gentisic acid (GTA) on photosynthetic rates and growth of soybean and corn under greenhouse conditions and in some cases treatment with these compounds resulted in increased leaf areas and plant dry mass, however, plant height and root length were not affected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seaweed extracts as biostimulants in horticulture
TL;DR: An update of the current state of the understanding of the chemical constituents of brown seaweed extracts and the physiological effects they induce on plants with particular reference to horticultural crops is given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ascophyllum nodosum -Based Biostimulants: Sustainable Applications in Agriculture for the Stimulation of Plant Growth, Stress Tolerance, and Disease Management.
Pushp Sheel Shukla,Emily Grace Mantin,Mohd Adil,Sruti Bajpai,Alan T. Critchley,Balakrishnan Prithiviraj +5 more
TL;DR: The information presented in this review depicts the multiple, beneficial effects of A. nodosum-based biostimulant extracts on plant growth and their defense responses and suggests new opportunities for further applications for marked benefits in production and quality in the agriculture and horticultural sectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan and chitin oligomers increase phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and tyrosine ammonia-lyase activities in soybean leaves.
TL;DR: Total Phenolic content of soybean leaves increased following chitosan and chitin oligomer treatments, showing a positive correlation between enzyme activity and total phenolic content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial extract of the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum enhances phenolic antioxidant content of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) which protects Caenorhabditis elegans against oxidative and thermal stress
Di Fan,D. Mark Hodges,Junzeng Zhang,Christopher W. Kirby,Xiuhong Ji,Steven J. Locke,Alan T. Critchley,Balakrishnan Prithiviraj +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that ANE stimulate flavonoid synthesis in spinach leaf thus enhancing its nutritional quality and exerts beneficial effects in C. elegans against oxidative stress.
