Multilevel Analysis of Glutathione-Induced Responses in Pepper Seedlings Under Water-Deficit Conditions

Drought stress is a major abiotic factor that negatively affects plant growth, physiological processes, and yield in pepper cultivation. This study evaluated the ameliorative effects of exogenous glutathione (GSH) at 50 µM and 100 µM in pepper seedlings grown under water-restrict...

Humic Substances Enhance Waterlogging Tolerance in Eggplant Through Differential Regulation of Redox Homeostasis and Nutrient Acquisition

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), the world’s fifth most important vegetable crop, is highly sensitive to waterlogging (WL), which limits its productivity under climate-driven flooding events. This study evaluated whether humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) alleviate WL-induced s...
