The genus Meloidogyne is one of the most significant groups of plant-parasitic nematodes. Plant species capable of inhibiting the development and reproduction of this pathogen can be utilized as a management strategy. This study aimed to analyze the structural (constitutive and induced) and biochemi...

IntroductionVolatile organic compounds (VOCs) are products of plant secondary metabolism with the potential for signalling early stress response. This pilot study investigated the potential of VOCs as markers for drought stress in potato. We hypothesised that differences in VOC emissions between cul...

Lead (Pb) is a common toxic metal that causes severe health and environmental problems. However, the defensive role and underlying mechanism of combined biochar (BC) and melatonin (MT) against Pb stress are still unclear. Therefore, to fill this gap, this study investigated the impacts of BC and MT...
