Phytohormones and Beneficial Microbes: Essential Components for Plants to Balance Stress and Fitness.

TL;DR: This review highlights important plant morpho-physiological traits that can be exploited to identify the positive effects of phytohormones on stress tolerance, and will be helpful to plant physiologists and agricultural microbiologists in designing strategies and tools for the development of broad spectrum microbial inoculants supporting sustainable crop production under hostile environments.

Minimising toxicity of cadmium in plants--role of plant growth regulators.

TL;DR: An overview of Cd status in soil and its toxicity in plants and major PGRs are introduced, mechanisms potentially involved in PGR-mediated enhanced plant tolerance to Cd are appraised and key aspects so far unexplored in the subject area are highlighted.

Promoting the productivity and quality of brinjal aligned with heavy metals immobilization in a wastewater irrigated heavy metal polluted soil with biochar and chitosan.

TL;DR: Overall, the BC+CH treatment at HR was the most effective treatment for in situ immobilization of heavy metals in SPHIW and further irrigated with the same WW, compared to rest of the treatments.

Potential of exogenously sourced kinetin in protecting Solanum lycopersicum from NaCl-induced oxidative stress through up-regulation of the antioxidant system, ascorbate-glutathione cycle and glyoxalase system.

TL;DR: Application of KN significantly enhanced growth and biomass production of normally grown plants and also mitigated the adverse effect of NaCl on stressed plants to a considerable extent, resulting in a considerable reduction in tissue Na+/K+ ratio.

Exogenous IAA differentially affects growth, oxidative stress and antioxidants system in Cd stressed Trigonella foenum-graecum L. seedlings: Toxicity alleviation by up-regulation of ascorbate-glutathione cycle

TL;DR: Overall results suggest that IAA at low (IAAL) and high (IAAH) doses affected the Cd toxicity differently by regulating the ascorbate-glutathione cycle as well as activity of other antioxidants in Trigonella seedlings.
