Role of Mineral Nutrition in Alleviation of Drought Stress in Plants
TL;DR: An overview of some macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium), micronut nutrients (Zinc, Boron, Copper and silicon) and silicon has been discussed in detail as how these nutrients play their role in decreasing the adverse effects of drought in crop plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving agricultural water use efficiency by nutrient management in crop plants
TL;DR: In this paper, the improvement of agricultural water use efficiency is of major concern with drought problems being one of the most important factors limiting grain production worldwide, and effective management of water management is of great importance.
Journal Article
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) response to drought stress at germination and seedling growth stages.
TL;DR: The variation among hybrids for DMSI was found to be a reliable indicator of drought tolerance in sunflower.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Plants subjected to saline stress exhibited a reduction in all the morpho-physiological and enzymatic attributes but proline contents and enzyme activities of antioxidants were enhanced in response to NaCl stress, however, deleterious effects induced by salinity were reduced if seeds were treated with EBL before or after NaCl imbibitions.
