“…As the drying time and the temperature increased, which was expected because of the sensitivity of ascorbic acid to heat, similar results were also reported by Hussein et al [58]. The variation in the vitamin C content is in conformity with the studies that show the dehydration process can affect the physiochemical properties of tomato powder [59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66]. The results of this study are partially in conformity with the findings of Hanif et al [67] who used 5% aloe vera and 20% honey solution and recorded a significant decrease in ascorbic acid (mg100 g -1 ) of tomatoes due to an increase in temperature under different natural and chemical preservatives.…”

Open sun drying of horticultural produce results in contamination due to microbial and fungal attacks and could also be damaged by insects, pests, and rodents. Solar drying through solar collectors is, therefore, an important technique used for the preservation of foods and to extend the shelf life of produce, thereby reducing microbial attack and contamination. Therefore, an experiment was carried out to study the response of the drying kinetics of solar-dried tomatoes to the thin layer of preservatives on the drying and quality attributes. The tomato fruits were treated with natural preservatives (honey and aloe vera) and chemical preservatives (citric acid, sodium benzoate, and potassium meta-bisulfate). The tomato fruits were then kept at three (40, 45, and 50ºC) different temperatures using a parabolic trough solar air heater for drying purposes. Both the drying temperature and preservative levels significantly (P< 0.001) affected the drying and quality traits of tomato slices. At a temperature of 50 ºC and with citric acid as a preservative, the tomato attained the best average results for moisture lost hr-1, drying time, drying rate, total soluble solids (TSS) °Brix, fruit juice pH, titratable acidity (%) and vitamin C. Based on the average maximum results, 50°C temperature and citric acid as a coating material could be considered for attaining better quality attributes of dried tomatoes. A two-term exponential model on the moisture ratio of tomatoes was found to fit for correlation and regression.

“…ROS molecules must be detoxified to reduce injury under stressful conditions. In addition, the efficient destruction of ROS requires the coordination of many antioxidant enzymes (Sofy et al, 2021b). Multiple scavenging enzymes, like CAT, POX, and PPO, reduce the impact of ROS.…”

The aid of beneficial microbes, which is a well-accepted strategy, may improve plant salt tolerance. However, the mechanisms that underpin it are unclear. In this study, seedling experiments were carried out to assess the effect of Bradyrhizobium and Enterobacter on the germination, growth, nonenzymatic and enzymatic content in soybean (Glycine max L.) under salt stress. Water was sprayed on the seeds as a control, and with 75 mM, 150 mM NaCl as salt stress. The findings demonstrate that salt stress (75, 150 mM) caused a significant decrease in germination, morphological criteria, and membrane stability index (MSI) when compared to control seeds but increased lipid peroxidation (MDA), electrolyte leakage (EL), osmotic pressure, proline, citric acid, sugar content, antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, endophytic Bradyrhizobium and Enterobacter inoculation resulted in a significant rise in all of the above metrics.; however, these treatments resulted in significant reductions in ROS, EL, and MDA in stressed plants. Finally, the findings showed that combining Bradyrhizobium and Enterobacter was the most efficient in reducing the harmful effects of salt on soybean plants by boosting antioxidant up-regulation and lowering membrane leakage and ROS.

“…In plants, UV rays decrease the growth characters by reducing the expression of growth-regulating factors and gibberellin levels (Fina et al 2017). In addition, the decreased growth attributes under UV stress could be due to the inhibition in photosynthetic activity, decreased light-harvesting pigments: Chl a, Chl b, and carotenoids contents (Ma et al 2018), and also by enhanced oxidative stress by the accumulation of various types of ROS in tissues (El-Sheshtawy et al 2021;Maksoud et al 2022;Sofy et al 2021b;Waseem et al 2021). Before or after stress, the treatment of Kn whatever ameliorated the UVC-induced disturbances in the tomato seedlings' growth.…”

Increasing ultraviolet (UV) radiation is causing oxidative stress that accounts for growth and yield losses in the present era of climate change. Plant hormones are useful tools for minimizing UV-induced oxidative stress in plants, but their putative roles in protecting tomato development under UVC remain unknown. Therefore, we investigated the underlying mechanism of pre-and post-kinetin (Kn) treatments on tomato plants under UVC stress. The best dose of Kn was screened in the preliminary experiments, and this dose was tested in further experiments. UVC significantly decreases growth traits, photosynthetic pigments, protein content, and primary metabolites (proteins, carbohydrates, amino acids) but increases oxidative stress biomarkers (lipid peroxidation, lipoxygenase activity, superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide) and proline content. Treatment of pre-and post-kinetin spraying to tomato plants decreases UVC-induced oxidative stress by restoring the primary and secondary metabolites’ (phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and anthocyanins) status and upregulating the antioxidant defense systems (non-enzymatic antioxidants as ascorbate, reduced glutathione, α-tocopherol as well as enzymatic antioxidants as superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione-S-transferase, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase). Thus, the application of Kn in optimum doses and through different modes can be used to alleviate UVC-induced negative impacts in tomato plants. Graphical abstract
