Combined toxicity of micro/nano scale polystyrene plastics and ciprofloxacin to Corbicula fluminea in freshwater sediments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a benthic bivalve, Corbicula fluminea, was employed to investigate the individual and co-toxicity of model plastics, microscopic fluorescent polystyrene (PS) (PS nano-plastic (PS-NP), 80 nm and 6 μm, respectively) and the common antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) in formulated sediments.

Physiological and Biochemical Bases of Foliar Silicon-Induced Alleviation of Cadmium Toxicity in Wheat

TL;DR: In this article, the underlying physiological and biochemical mechanisms of foliar Si-induced enhancement in wheat tolerance against cadmium (Cd) stress were explored, and two wheat cultivars, viz., Inqalab-91 (sensitive) and Sahar-2006 (tolerant), were sown in plastic pots.

Role of Plant Nutrients in Plant Growth and Physiology

TL;DR: In this article, the main functions of the mineral nutrients that have a bearing on the quantitative and qualitative aspects of crop productivity are discussed, focusing on the main function of the micronutrients in terms of cell osmotic relations and turgor-related processes.

Oxidant and antioxidant signalling in plants: a re-evaluation of the concept of oxidative stress in a physiological context

TL;DR: It is proposed that the oxidative stress syndrome would be more usefully described as 'oxidative signalling', that is, an important and critical function associated with the mechanisms by which plant cells sense the environment and make appropriate adjustments to gene expression, metabolism and physiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glutathione in plants: an integrated overview.

TL;DR: How alterations in glutathione status, such as those observed during stress, may participate in signal transduction cascades are discussed and how these alterations are integrated to fine-tune photorespiratory and respiratory metabolism and to modulate phytohormone signalling pathways.
