Antioxidant responses are associated with differences in drought tolerance between maize and sorghum
(Arid land institute, 2021)Drought is a major cause of decreased yield in crops worldwide. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and maize (Zea mays) are two of the key crops in Africa serving as human food as well as livestock feed. For improved crop ... -
Attenuation of hyperglycemia-associated dyslipidemic, oxidative, cognitive, and inflammatory crises via modulation of neuronal ChEs/NF-κB/COX-2/NOx, and hepatorenal functional deficits by the Tridax procumbens extract
(Elsevier, 2023)Tridax procumbens (cotton buttons) is a flowering plant with a medicinal reputation for treating infections, wounds, diabetes, and liver and kidney diseases. The present research was conducted to evaluate the possible ... -
Capacity to control oxidative stress-induced caspase-like activity determines the level of tolerance to salt stress in two contrasting maize genotypes
(Springer, 2013)The response of two maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes, named GR (salt-tolerant) and SK (salt-sensitive), to salt stress (150 mM NaCl) was investigated under controlled environmental growth conditions. Genotype SK experienced ... -
Green-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles mitigate salt stress in sorghum bicolor
(MDPI, 2022)Salinity is an abiotic stress that is responsible for more than 50% of crop losses worldwide. Current strategies to overcome salinity in agriculture are limited to the use of genetically modified crops and chemicals ...
