Enhancing crop resilience through thiamine: implications for sustainable agriculture in drought-stressed radish

“…Moreover, thiamine application has been found to increase the expression of genes associated with antioxidant defense in radish plants, leading to heightened levels of antioxidant compounds and enzymes, even under drought stress conditions (Seifi et al, 2023) (Figure 4). Similar findings were also observed in the current study that application of thiamine improved the antioxidant potential of the radish varieties (Atif and Perveen, 2023). As a result, thiamine supplementation contributes significantly to improving the antioxidant attributes of radish plants, making them better equipped to withstand the adverse effects of drought stress and promoting healthier growth and productivity (Kaya et al, 2020).…”

“…The scarcity of water limits the movement of ions through the root system, leading to changes in the concentrations of various ions within the plant tissues (Ramos et al, 2023). For instance, the concentrations of ions such as potassium (K + ), calcium (Ca 2+ ) and phosphorous may decrease, as they rely on adequate water for their transport to the roots and subsequent absorption (Atif and Perveen, 2023). However, from the findings of current study it was observed that thiamine application has been found to positively influence the activities of certain ion transporters and channels, enhancing the uptake and movement of crucial ions like potassium, calcium, and magnesium (Ramos et al, 2023).…”
