HSP70‐16 and VDAC3 jointly inhibit seed germination under cold stress in Arabidopsis

Muhammad Ashraf, Qionglei Mao, Jun Hong, Lei Shi, more

Plant, Cell & Environment > 44 > 11 > 3616 - 3627

Abscisic acid (ABA) transport plays a crucial role in seed germination under unfavourable conditions such as cold stress. Both heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and voltage‐dependent anion channel (VDAC) protein are involved in cold stress responses in Arabidopsis. However, their roles in seed germination with regard to ABA signaling remain unknown. Here we demonstrated that Arabidopsis HSP70‐16 and VDAC3...

Thiamin stimulates growth and secondary metabolites in turnip (Brassica rapa L.) leaf and root under drought stress

Munifa Jabeen, Nudrat Aisha Akram, Muhammad Ashraf, Mohammed Nasser Alyemeni, more

Physiologia Plantarum > 172 > 2 > 1399 - 1411

Thiamin, an important member of the vitamin B family, is believed to play a significant role in mitigating environmental stresses including drought stress. In turnip, drought stress causes a reduced growth, biomass yield, pigment content, total phenolics and ascorbic acid (AsA), particularly at 50% field capacity (F.C.) in the two cultivars (cv) studied. However, a significant enhancement was observed...

Maryam Shakeel, Muhammad Imran, Muhammad Ashraf, Najeeb Ullah

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water > 48 > 3 > n/a - n/a

Textile wastewater contains huge quantities of nitrogen (N)‐containing azo‐dyes. Irrigation of crops with such wastewater adds toxic dyes into our healthy soils. One of the ways to prevent their entry to soils could be these waters after the dyes' biodegradation. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of textile dyes on wheat growth, dye degradation efficiency of bacteria‐fungi...

Abdul Razzaq, Arfan Ali, Luqman Bin Safdar, Muhammad Mubashar Zafar, more

Journal of Food Science > 85 > 1 > 14 - 20

Salinity has drastic effects on plant growth and productivity and is one of the major factors responsible for crop yield losses throughout the agricultural soils of the world. The mechanisms of salinity tolerance in plants are regulated by a set of inherent multigenes and prevalent environmental factors, which bring about a myriad of metabolic changes in each plant part. The stress‐induced metabolic...
