“…Moreover, research has shown that supplementing with nano ZnO has higher solubility and interactivity than larger forms. These results are consistent with the studies carried out by Zagzog and Gad (2017) [41] in mango and Kumar and Dey (2011) [18] in strawberry, which also noted a reduction in the flowering period. The early flowering can be explained by the easy entry of ZnO nanoparticles due to a larger leaf surface area and the ion release through the cuticle.…”

An experiment was conducted at the Department of Horticulture, Central Research Field at the Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj ,Uttar Pradesh. During the year 2021-22 and 2022-23 to study the effect of Nano chitosan, Nano micronutrients and Bio capsules on Growth and flowering attributes of Kinnow mandarin and Soil physic-chemical characteristics of the soil. In the experiment, 14 treatment combination were taken along with control. And it was set up according to Randomized block design (RBD) with three replications of each treatment. Among different treatment combinations, it was recorded that T14 with the combination of [N P K (as recommended dose of fertilizer) + Soil drenching of Nano chitosan 100 ppm + Bio capsule 500 ppm + foliar application of nano particles (ZnO+FeO)] emerged as most effective in promoting highest plant height, plant spread and stem girth of the plant. Days required for flowering was shortest while Number of flowers per tree-was highest for T14. The soil NPK content increased drastically for T14 applied plots while no significant effect were observed in soil pH, organic Carbon % and Electrical conductivity by the application of Nano chitosan, Nano particles (ZnO+FeO) and Bio capsules. So, Nano-Chitosan, nano fertilizers along with biofertilizers application can enhance plant growth and flowering attributes of kinnow mandarin along with sustaining nutrient levels in the soil.

“…Similarly, wheat seedlings coated with chitosan exhibited improved drought tolerance levels by altering the molecular physiological mechanisms, leading to better seed germination, yield, plant growth, and root expansion [ 111 ]. Additionally, foliar spraying of nano-chitosan (5 mL/L) on mango trees enhanced the growth and fruit quality and also showed more resistance to malformation [ 112 ].…”

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most economically important fruit crops across the world, mainly in the tropics and subtropics of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. Abiotic stresses are the prominent hindrance that can adversely affect the growth, development, and significant yield loss of mango trees. Understanding the molecular physiological mechanisms underlying abiotic stress responses in mango is highly intricate. Therefore, to gain insights into the molecular basis and to alleviate the abiotic stress responses to enhance the yield in the mere future, the use of high-throughput frontier approaches should be tied along with the baseline investigations. Taking these gaps into account, this comprehensive review mainly speculates to provide detailed mechanisms and impacts on physiological and biochemical alterations in mango under abiotic stress responses. In addition, the review emphasizes the promising omics approaches in unraveling the candidate genes and transcription factors (TFs) responsible for abiotic stresses. Furthermore, this review also summarizes the role of different types of biostimulants in improving the abiotic stress responses in mango. These studies can be undertaken to recognize the roadblocks and avenues for enhancing abiotic stress tolerance in mango cultivars. Potential investigations pointed out the implementation of powerful and essential tools to uncover novel insights and approaches to integrate the existing literature and advancements to decipher the abiotic stress mechanisms in mango. Furthermore, this review serves as a notable pioneer for researchers working on mango stress physiology using integrative approaches.

“…Chang et al [24] showed that biopolymer polylactic acid (PLA) stimulated the growth of soybeans. Patil et al [27] reported that different biopolymers, agar, cellulose, alginate, psyllium gaur gum, and bacterial exopolysaccharide (EPS), all improved the seedling growth of Gossypium herbaceum L. Zagzog et al [29] also demonstrated that chitosan improved the vegetative growth of mangos. Wierzchowski et al [23] found that PLA could promote biomass proliferation of Rindera graeca hairy root.…”

Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is a traditional medicinal plant in China and poly-glutamic acid (PGA) is a valuable biopolymer. However, it is unclear whether PGA promotes growth and the accumulation of main medicinal components in S. miltiorrhiza. To elucidate this scientific question, the influences of PGA on the growth, physiological characteristics, and accumulation of main medicinal components in S. miltiorrhiza were explored through a pot experiment. The results revealed that PGA significantly promoted basal diameter, plant height, shoot and root biomass, as well as root volume, compared with control. PGA also increased SPAD value, net photosynthetic rate, actual and maximum photochemical efficiency of photosynthetic system II, photochemical quenching, and electronic transfer rate. Meanwhile, PGA increased transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, water use efficiency, leaf relative water content, and the contents of soluble protein, soluble sugar, and proline. Furthermore, PGA increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes and the contents of antioxidants. The above findings imply that PGA facilitated S. miltiorrhiza growth by enhancing photosynthetic performance, water metabolism, and antioxidant capacity. Additionally, PGA significantly improved the yield of rosmarinic acid, salvianolic acid B, dihydrotanshinone, cryptotanshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone ⅡA in roots by up-regulating the transcript levels of genes responsible for their biosynthesis. Our findings indicated that PGA promoted S. miltiorrhiza growth and the accumulation of main medicinal components in roots.
