Study of the Influence of Abiotic and Biotic Stress Factors on Horticultural Plants

Abstract

In changing environmental conditions, horticulture plants are affected by a vast range of abiotic and biotic stresses which directly and indirectly influence plant condition [...]

Adaptive Redox Reactions Promote Naturalization of Rare Orchid Epipactis atrorubens on Serpentine Dumps Post Asbestos Mining

“…It is also important to point out that the soil bacteria, along with micromycetes, are the most important components of the system of symbiotic relationships between orchid plants and microorganisms [48]. It is known that many endophytic and rhizospheric bacteria have the ability to stimulate plant growth through various mechanisms [31,48,49]. However, data on the ability of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere to promote the growth of orchids and increase their viability under abiotic stress conditions are fragmentary [30].…”

Impact of Biotic/Abiotic Stress Factors on Plant Specialized Metabolites

“…The knowledge thus gained creates the possibility to uncover more complex relationships at the level of ecosystem functioning in ecological and evolutionary terms. This research also has tremendous application value, creating an opportunity for the following, among other possibilities: the control of phytochemical biosynthesis [ 1 ], plant habitats [ 2 , 3 ], and pest populations [ 4 , 5 ]; the reclamation of anthropogenically altered areas [ 6 ]; phytomining [ 7 ], and the extraction of significant amounts of metabolites from plants growing in these areas [ 8 ]. Thus, studying plant interactions with biotic and abiotic stress factors is fundamental to many fields of science, both basic and applied.…”
