“…Ashraf et al [72] applied a foliar application of 3% MLE continually for 15-day intervals and found an increase in the protein content of radish. Consistent results were obtained in peas [73], quinoa [74], and wheat [75]. Moreover, MLE application alone or in combination with K provided greater protein content in chickpea grains [23].…”

“…Recent studies were conducted to verify the mineral improvement in quinoa seeds via MLE application. Rashid et al [74] and Rashid et al [84] observed increments in the Ca and K of the seeds using the foliar application of MLE. These results might be associated with the fact that MLE improves the diversion of assimilates from the leaf to the seed and is an excellent source of minerals, antioxidants, and secondary metabolites; hence, it has the ability to maintain mineral content in plant tissue.…”

Ensuring high-quality agricultural products has become important in agriculture since society’s standard of living has risen. Meanwhile, Moringa oleifera L. leaf extract (MLE) has been used as a plant biostimulant to improve product quality. The effectiveness of MLE is associated with its beneficial components, consisting of nutrients, phytohormones, secondary metabolites, amino acids, and bioactive compounds. Previous studies have been carried out to find the effects of MLE application on the quality of different crops, including basil, kale, spinach, maize, radish, brinjal, pepper, tomato, grape, strawberry, and more. The results are generally positive concerning physical, nutritional, and chemical qualities. This review comprises recent findings regarding MLE application as a plant biostimulant to increase quality attributes, with its underlying mechanism.

“…CaCl 2 treatments increased germination under salt stress to different degrees, and the effect was significantly better than hydro-priming, suggesting that Ca 2+ may play a key role in this process. Rashid et al (2022) reported plant growth length, grain yield, fresh and dry biomass were also significantly enhanced [53].…”

“…The higher antioxidant enzyme activity at the salt content is due to the greater clearance of ROS [75, 76, 77]. Rashid et al (2022) reported grain quality parameters such as protein, antioxidant enzyme activity, K and Ca were also significantly enhanced [53]. As CaCl 2 was combined with NaCl, the activity of antioxidant enzyme was increased when compared to NaCl-stressed plants.…”

Salinity is becoming a bigger problem for agricultural production across the world. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) was used to mitigate the adverse impact of NaCl-induced oxidative stress in terms of growth parameters, chlorophyll, carotenoid, protein, proline, phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate) radical, ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR) and catalase (CAT) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation in Moringa oleifera L. plants. There were 8 treatments in the experimentation including control, 100 mM NaCl, 200 mM NaCl, 300 mM NaCl, 100 mM NaCl + 3 mM CaCl 2 , 200 mM NaCl + 3 mM CaCl 2 300 mM NaCl + 3 mM CaCl 2 and 3 mM CaCl 2 alone. The results NaCl (100 mM) with 3 mM CaCl 2 revealed that the salt stress inhibited the growth parameters of fresh (7.23±0.2), dry weight (4.03±0.2), number of leaves (13.66±0.6), shoot (17.17±1.0) and root length (19.07±0.7) reduced of M oleifera. While NaCl (100mM) with CaCl 2 (3 mM) treating significantly promoted the growth parameters of M oleifera under salt stress. NaCl (100mM) with CaCl 2 (3 mM) treating plants showed increased carotenoids (0.956±0.03), chlorophyll (1.576±0.04), protein (15.67±0.3), proline (61.66±2.3), TPC (28.20±0.24), TFC, compared with untreated M oleifera under salt stress. NaCl (100 mM) with CaCl 2 (3 mM) treating increased the antioxidant activities (DPPH, ABTS) and antioxidant enzymes activities (POD, SOD, CAT, GR, MDA) compared with untreated M oleifera under salt stress. Therefore, the CaCl 2 can be productively used to enhancement the seedling establishment and growth of M oleifera grown under salt stress conditions. The molecular mechanisms of Ca 2+ signalling induced by CaCl 2 treating in M oleifera under salt stress as seed priming agents on the final yield, even under field conditions should be the focus for future research.

“…There is an increasing effort for the rational use of N fertilization by applying relatively low rates aiming to reduce the negative effects on the environment from N loss. This effort would be more difficult without the use of innovative and environmentally friendly products, such as amino acids, organo-mineral fertilizers and other plant growth promoters, microbial or non-microbial [10][11][12]. In the particular case of amino acids, their role in plants is crucial since they are precursors of various N compounds [13].…”

The challenge to increase nitrogen uptake efficiency in intensively cultivated soils without runoffs and atmospheric release has been difficult to handle and usually leads to the excess application of mineral fertilizers. In the present study, four combinations of two different N fertilizers and a control were used in maize cultivation to evaluate the use of different types of N fertilization in the case of agronomic and plant physiology characteristics, as well as the quantity and quality characteristics of maize’s yield. The results show that, when the full rate of mineral fertilization with the addition of half rate of organo-mineral fertilizer with amino acids (MF+OMAA/2) was used, maize presented a 16% yield increase in comparison with the control, followed by mineral fertilization (MF) with a 10% increase. Protein content was increased in all treatments by 3–6% compared to the control, with the conventional fertilization and the alternates with lower rates of mineral fertilization not differing significantly. The nitrogen content in the leaves of maize increased in both measurements (11–23% and 19–40% at 70 and 107 days after sowing, respectively) of the different fertilizer treatments compared to the control. The results of this study confirm that the organo-mineral fertilizer containing amino acids can be used as an alternative or additive N fertilization that can decrease the use of conventional mineral fertilizers or can result in improved seed productivity and protein content in maize farms.
