TL;DR: The potential role of seed priming with biostimulants in the alleviation of abiotic stress conditions during seed germination and seedling growth in C. triloba plants is shown.

TL;DR: A detailed inventory of southern African plants used in the treatment of central nervous system and memory-related disorders that are potential candidates for novel AChE inhibitors is provided through a detailed literature search using web-based database searches including Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science as well as ethnobotanical literature on southern African medicinal plants.

TL;DR: Eckol, a major phenolic compound isolated from brown seaweed significantly enhanced the bulb size and bioactive compounds in greenhouse-grown Eucomis autumnalis.

TL;DR: Findings indicate the potential of INCYDE in protecting plants against NaCl stress and the possibility of enhanced productivity from an agricultural perspective.

TL;DR: While VCL did not significantly enhance growth of the three species, it significantly increased photosynthetic pigment content in 50 % Hoagland’s-treated Eucomis autumnalis and in phosphorus-deficient Tulbaghia ludwigiana.
