Integrated physiological and antioxidant responses in roots and shoots underpin aluminium tolerance in sesame

Aluminium (Al 3+ ) phyto-toxicity is detrimental to crop productivity on acidic soils across tropical and subtropical climates. Sesame ( Sesamum indicum L.) is a high-valued oilseed crop of these regions, yet its physiological responses to Al 3+ toxicity is critically undefined c...

Sulfur and polymer coating on urea enhances antioxidant defense, nutrient balance, secondary metabolites, and nitrogen use efficiency in salt‑stressed wheat

Soil salinity is a growing threat to wheat productivity. This study evaluated whether different coated urea formulations– especially polymer-sulfur-coated urea (PSCU) – could help wheat cope with different salt stress levels: non-saline control (1.3 dS m − 1 , showing the natural...
