Salinity stress adversely affects agricultural productivity by disrupting water uptake, causing nutrient imbalances, and leading to ion toxicity. Excessive salts in the soil hinder crops root growth and damage cellular functions, reducing photosynthetic capacity and inducing oxidative stress. Stomatal closure further limits carbon dioxide uptake th...

Maize cultivated for dry grain covers approximately 197 million hectares globally, securing its position as the second most widely grown crop worldwide after wheat. Although spermidine and biochar individually showed positive impacts on maize production in existing literature, their combined effects on maize growth, physiology, nutrient uptake rema...

Soil salinity, the second most prominent cause of land degradation after soil erosion, has posed a persistent challenge to agriculture. Currently, approximately 1 billion hectares of Earth's land surface, equivalent to 7%, are affected by salinity. While biochar has proven effective in mitigating salinity stress, the specific role of deashed biocha...

Salinity stress is one of the major hurdles in agriculture which adversely affects crop production. It can cause osmotic imbalance, ion toxicity that disrupts essential nutrient balance, impaired nutrient uptake, stunted growth, increased oxidative stress, altered metabolism, and diminished crop yield and quality. However, foliar application of osm...

The growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum) is constrained by soil salinity, although some fungal species have been shown to enhance production in saline environments. The yield of grain crops is affected by salt stress, and this study aimed to investigate how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) mitigates salt stress. An experiment was conducted to ass...

Introduction: Soyasaponins are triterpenoid glycosides discovered in soybean and have anti-cancer properties. Soyasaponin A was reported to repress estrogen-insensitive breast cancer cell proliferation. This study intends to explore the role of one isomer of soyasaponin A, i.e. soyasaponin Ag (Ssa Ag), in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) devel...

Emerging investigations have demonstrated that lncRNAs are key crucial modulators in cancer. In this study, we investigated the role of LINC02381 in breast cancer (BC). Reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction measured the LINC02381 level in BC tissues and cells. Colony formation, EdU staining, wound healing and Transwell experi...

... Salt stress often inhibits plant growth through ionic toxicity, oxidative stress, and osmotic stress [37][38][39][40], and the strength of its inhibitory effects is directly reflected by growth indicators. In the present study, salt stress led to impaired growth features (plant height, biomass, root length, root surface area, and total root volume; Figs. 1 and 2). ...
... There is a need for innovative and ecofriendly solutions to combat the adverse effects of heavy metal contamination [11,12]. Activated carbon, commonly known as biochar, stands out as a prominent solution to combat prevalent challenges in agriculture [11,[13][14][15]. Derived from the pyrolysis of organic matter like agricultural waste or wood chips, biochar, rich in carbon content, serves multiple purposes [12,16,17]. ...
... Salinity is a prominent abiotic stress factor with farreaching implications for global crop productivity [1][2][3][4][5][6]. It adversely affects germination and overall plant vigor, resulting in substantial crop losses worldwide. ...

... This decrease in yield can be attributed to several factors influenced by salt stress, including the detrimental effects on photosynthetic accessory pigments, stomatal impedance, and ionic imbalance [63]. In another study, Huang et al. [64] observed that 200 mM NaCl significantly reduced root fresh and dry weight and inhibited root length by 38% compared to the control. This decrease in growth can be attributed to a decline in cell elongation [65]. ...
... In TNBC, suppression of STAT3 expression inhibited tumor proliferation and migration [28]. Additionally, HRAS [29] and MAPK1 [30] levels were significantly increased in TNBC patients. Similarly, PIK3R1 [31] and AKT1 [32] played crucial roles in the development of TNBC. ...
... It was identified that the expression of FN1 could be significantly regulated by DCUN1D5 in TNBC cells (Fig. 6A). FN1 is one important member of the glycoprotein family and has been proved to regulate PI3K/AKT pathway in numerous tumors [17][18][19][20]. Therefore, western blotting was performed to evaluate the protein expression of FN1, p-PI3K, PI3K, p-AKT and AKT with DCUN1D5 knockdown. ...
