Decoding heavy metal stress signalling in plants: Towards improved food security and safety
(MDPI, 2020)
The mining of heavy metals from the environment leads to an increase in soil pollution, leading to the uptake of heavy metals into plant tissue. The build-up of toxic metals in plant cells often leads to cellular damage ...
A decade of plant proteomics and mass spectrometry: Translation of technical advancements to food security and safety issues
(Wiley, 2013)
Tremendous progress in plant proteomics driven by mass spectrometry (MS) techniques has been made since 2000 when few proteomics reports were published and plant proteomics was in its infancy. These achievements include ...
Indigenous African cereal crops can contribute to mitigation of the impact of climate change on food security
(Arid land institute, 2021)
Zea mays L. (maize) is one of the top three cultivated cereals globally, along with
wheat and rice. The United States, China, and Brazil are among the largest
producers of maize, producing approximately 79% of the world’s ...
Common bean as a potential crop for future food security: an overview of past, current and future contributions in genomics, transcriptomics, transgenics and proteomics
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2021)
Common bean is an important legume crop having high quality protein, micronutrients, vitamins
and antioxidants, which makes it a “grain of hope” for poor communities. Hence, a good number
of breeding activities have been ...
Genetic variation in responses to salt stress in Tunisian populations of Medicago ciliaris
(MDPI, 2022)
Soil salinity is one of the most serious environmental factors affecting crop productivity
around the world. We used a morpho-physiological approach to investigate the salt responses
of four Tunisian natural populations ...
Sustainable agriculture through the enhancement of microbial biocontrol agents: Current challenges and new perspectives
(MDPI, 2023)
The future of pesticide usage in agriculture is uncertain due to its unsustainability, adverse
environmental impacts, and its association in enhanced phytopathogen resistance. Hence, this
situation urges the development ...
