    Adaptation strategies for salinity stress in Maize: An overview on exogenous chemical and phyto-microbiome approaches
    (Apple Academic Press, 2024) Sabagh, Ayman El; Islam, Mohammad Sohidul; Aamiriqbal, Muhammad; Yasmin, Humaira; Zafar, Mohsin; Shafiq, Tayyab; Rajendran, Karthika
    Global warming is the leading cause of soil salinity, which affects the productivity of various crops, including maize. Soil salinity disrupts various physiological and biochemical processes in maize, including photosynthesis, water relations, respiration, stomatal regulation, and biosynthesis of enzymes. Improved performance of maize in saline soils may result from knowledge of the resistance to salt stress and an overview of the management options. Several approaches, alone or in combination have aided in the reduction of the negative effects of salinity by increasing salt tolerance in maize. Exogenous compounds, such as osmoprotectants (OP), polyamines (PA), nitric oxide (NO), and phytohormones, are thought to be the most promising and effective against environmental stresses, and they play critical roles in increasing maize resistance to salt stress. Furthermore, the use of microbes, which have been shown to be capable of reducing abiotic stresses, is a novel and promising method, and the plant microbiome has the ability to promote development and protect the host via a variety of molecular pathways. This chapter provides an overview of the exogenous application of several compounds and phyto-microbiomes that mitigate the negative effects of salt stress on maize. © 2024 Apple Academic Press, Inc.

    The Primacy of Moringa (Moringa oleiferaLam.) in Boosting Nutrition Statusand Immunity Defence Amidst the COVID-19 Catastrophe: A Perspective
    (Tech Science Press, 2022) Anuragi, Hirdayesh; Singhal, Rajesh Kumar; Tanveer, Yashfa; Yasmin, Humaira; Srijan, Ambati; Bharati, Alka; Chand, Lal
    A severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) led novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)outbreak spread through China has become the biggest global public health challenge today. The virus upon sev-eral mutations has led to the resurgence of more infectious and lethal variants infecting over 298 million peoplewith more than 5.46 million deaths worldwide by the end of December, 2021. Though vaccines are available, var-ious preventive measures particularly a high body immunity is still extremely important which determines thelikelihood of disease severity and subsequent recovery in the current and future pandemics. This review acknowl-edges the potentiality of miraculousMoringa oleiferaLam. against recently evolved novel coronavirus and accom-panying health complications. Moringa a well-proven super-food, densely packed with an abundant quantity of92 minerals, several vitamins, 46 antioxidants, and numerous bioactive compounds, thus own a massive thera-peutic potential for healing all levels of nutritional deficiencies and poor immunities and cure above 300 diseases.Moringa acts as anti-asthmatic, anti-cancerous, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, hypotensive, hepatic, renal andcardio-protective, and anti-viral in nature. Thus it may reduce the severity of COVID-19 infections and associatedserious medical emergencies. In addition, self-isolation at home or the workplace has put people at increased riskof physical and mental sicknesses, which could be simply addressed by integrating this wonderful plant intoeveryday diet. Furthermore, the immune-modulatory properties and viral inhibiting nature of moringa contributeto reduced risk of COVID-19 infection and quicker recovery from its symptoms. As per the existing pieces of literature, it is a great time to harness the esteemed moringa for safeguarding people from the terrible ongoingCOVID-19 situation and other future pandemics
