“…Furthermore, it was reported that irradiation of dry dormant seeds with weak He-Ne laser (λ = 632.8 nm) is helpful in boosting up many germinations related metabolic reactions [8,23,56]. The literature has many studies regarding laserinduced modulations in optical, biochemical and electrochemical properties of seeds and most of them describe the laser stimulation on growth and seed germination related processes [8,13,17,[56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. Irrespective to the positive influences of He-Ne laser seed treatment on seed germination and seedling emergence, it was found that other types of laser were also found effective to influence the seed germination potential.…”

The present investigation was undertaken to assess the effects of different doses (100, 300, and 500 mJ) of low power He–Ne laser (632.8 nm) irradiation on seed germination and thermodynamics attributes and activities of potential germinating enzymes in relation with changes in seed metabolites. He–Ne laser seed irradiation increased the amylase (Amy), protease (Pro) and glucosidase (Gluco) activities, with a significant improvement in seed thermodynamics and seed germination attributes. A fast increase was found in free fatty acids (FFA), free amino acids (FAA), chlorophyll (Chl), carotenoids (Car), total soluble sugars (TSS) and reducing sugars (RS) in laser treated seeds in parallel with fast decline in seed oil contents and total soluble proteins (TSP). Significant positive correlations were recorded in laser-induced enhanced seed energy levels, germination, activities of germination enzymes with levels of FAA, FFA, Chl, TSS and RS, but a negative correlation with the levels of TSP and oil. In conclusion, the seed treatment with 100 and 300 mJ He–Ne laser was more effective to improve the seed germination potential associated with an improvement in seed energy levels due to increased activities of germination enzymes due to the speedy breakdown of seed reserves to simple metabolites as building blocks.

“…The formation of disulfide contents during oxidative changes could be the reason for the decrease in SH groups [ 30 , 31 ]. Furthermore, these changes are related to the alteration in the myosin head region, which is very sensitive to oxidative modifications that lead to the loss of structural and functional properties [ 32 ].…”

“…During the frozen storage, control MP (0%) showed a prominent increase in S 0 compared to those found in samples treated with OVA-KC. The increase in surface hydrophobicity could be due to the formation of hydrophobic interaction between the exposed hydrophobic molecules, which results in increased protein denaturation and aggregation [ 31 ]. Walayat et al [ 19 ] stated that the increase in S 0 is ascribed to the exposure and unfolding of aromatic and hydrophobic amino acids during frozen storage.…”

This study was done to analyze the cryoprotective influence of ovalbumin (OVA) with kappa-carrageenan (KC) in grass carp myofibrillar proteins during frozen storage. Ca2+-ATPase activity of MP was significantly reduced due to protein denaturation and showed a direct association with decreased sulphydryl (SH) contents and tertiary structural properties. Besides that, an increase in carbonyl, surface hydrophobicity, and dityrosine contents was observed. The addition of OVA-KC significantly restricted the decline in Ca2+-ATPase and SH groups, which were further confirmed by the retarded increase in carbonyls. Furthermore, the addition of OVA-KC increased the stability of α-helix contents. Moreover, MP treated with 6% OVA-KC also improved intermolecular interaction forces linked with gelling and water holding properties of MP. Therefore, it can be concluded that OVA-KC could be used as an effective cryoprotectant in fish and related products for preservation and commercialization.

“…Proline is an organic osmolyte that acts as a first plant defense against water stress [9,67]. It helps to maintain cytoplasm water potential for the normal functioning of enzymes [68,69]. Proline accumulation under drought stress protects cells from membrane damage, water balance, maintenance of enzyme activities, and reactive species scavenging [27,70].…”

Crop performance and yield are the results of genotypic expression as modulated by continuous interaction with the environment. Among the environmental aspects, drought and salinity are the most important factors, which limit the forages, including grasses, on a global basis. Grass species have the ability to grow under low water conditions and can produce high dry yield, proteins, and energy in areas exposed to drought stress. For this purpose, we conducted the present study to understand the response of forage grasses under drought stress from two different regions (Salt Range and Faisalabad) of Punjab, Pakistan. Two ecotypes of each grass species (Cenchrus ciliaris L. and Cyperus arenarius Retz.) were grown in pots at the botanical research area, Government College University Faisalabad, Pakistan. A group of plants were subjected to drought stress (60% field capacity) and controlled (100% field capacity) after three weeks of seed germination. The results from the present study depicted that the fresh and dry weights of root and shoot were decreased significantly under drought conditions. Moreover, C. ciliaris of the Salt Range area showed more resistance and higher growth production under drought stress. The chlorophyll (a and b) contents were also decreased significantly, while MDA, total soluble sugars, and proline levels were increased significantly under water-limited environments in the C. arenarius of Salt Range area. Enzymatic antioxidants (superoxidase dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD)) and leaf Na+ were significantly raised in C. arenarius under drought stress collected from the Faisalabad region. Cenchrus ciliaris showed higher level of H2O2, total soluble proteins, glycinebetaine, catalase (CAT) and POD compared to C. arenarius. It also retained more leaf and root Ca2+, and root K+ under drought stress. It was concluded from the study that C. ciliaris is more resistant to drought in biomass production collected from the Salt Range area. The results suggested that C. ciliaris can be more widely used as a forage grass under water-scarce conditions as compared to C. arenarius.
