Melatonin Mediates Enhancement of Stress Tolerance in Plants
Biswojit Debnath,Waqar Islam,Min Li,Yueting Sun,Xiaocao Lu,Sangeeta Mitra,Mubasher Hussain,Shuang Liu,Dongliang Qiu +8 more
TL;DR: Melatonin acted as a powerful growth regulator, bio-stimulator, and antioxidant, which delayed leaf senescence, lessened photosynthesis inhibition, and improved redox homeostasis and the antioxidant system under abiotic and biotic stress conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muhammad Adnan,Waqar Islam,Asad Shabbir,Khalid Ali Khan,Hamed A. Ghramh,Zhiqun Huang,Han Y. H. Chen,Han Y. H. Chen,Guodong Lu +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that effective AF utilization against fungal pathogens can serve as a safe strategy for the authors' Planet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Saponins in Plant Defense Against Specialist Herbivores
Mubasher Hussain,Biswojit Debnath,Muhammad Qasim,Bamisope Steve Bamisile,Waqar Islam,Muhammad Salman Hameed,Liande Wang,Dongliang Qiu +7 more
TL;DR: The role of secondary plant metabolites in plant defense mechanisms against the specialist herbivores is discussed and trials by plant breeders could aim at transferring these bioactive molecules against herbivore to cash crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
