TLDR
The main results from studies on the effect of g-irradiations on plants, focusing on metabolic alterations, modifications of growth and development, and changes in biochemical pathways especially physio- logical behaviour are reported.
Abstract
Research on the basic interaction of radiation with biological systems has contributed to human society through various applications in medicine, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and in other technolog...

Seed priming in field crops: potential benefits, adoption and challenges

TL;DR: Some of the challenges to the broad commercial adaption of seed priming include longevity of seeds after conventional types of priming under ambient storage conditions and a lack of studies on hermetic packaging materials for extended storage.

Effect of ionizing radiation on physiological and molecular processes in plants

TL;DR: The review focuses on the effects of radiation on the essential physiological processes, including photosynthesis, respiration, long-distance transport, the functioning of the hormonal system, and various biosynthetic processes and analyze dose and time dependences of the IR-induced effects on various physiological and biochemical processes.

Selective Effect of Pesticides on Plant—A Review

TL;DR: The thrust of this paper was to review the application of pesticides effect early from germination to growth of the plant, leading to alteration in biochemical, physiological and different enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants which ultimately affect the yield and resulted in residues in plant, vegetables, and fruits.

Sensitivity of the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to gamma radiation: Photosynthetic performance and ROS formation.

TL;DR: The alterations seen in functional parameters of C. reinhardtii PSII after 6h of exposure to gamma radiation showed modifications of PSII energy transfer associated with electron transport and energy dissipation pathways, especially at the higher dose rates used.

Evaluation of oxidative stress in Vigna radiata L. in response to chlorpyrifos

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of chlorpyrifos on several metabolic and stress related parameters of Vigna radiata L. was evaluated at pre-flowering (Day 5), flowering (Day 10), and post-flowing (Day 20) stages after the treatment.

REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES: Metabolism, Oxidative Stress, and Signal Transduction

TL;DR: The mechanisms of ROS generation and removal in plants during development and under biotic and abiotic stress conditions are described and the possible functions and mechanisms for ROS sensing and signaling in plants are compared with those in animals and yeast.

Stress-Induced Phenylpropanoid Metabolism.

Richard A. Dixon, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1995 - 
TL;DR: Limiting discussion to stress-induced phenylpropanoids eliminates few of the structural classes, because many compounds that are constitutive in one plant species or tissue can be induced by various stresses in another species or in another tissue of the same plant.
