Role of Triacontanol in Overcoming Environmental Stresses

Impacts of plant growth regulators in strawberry plant: A review

“…Tricontanol is a widely distributed saturated primary alcoholic plant hormone discovered by Chibnallet al. (1933) and has been shown to modulate a variety of physiological and biochemical activities in plants ( Zaid et al., 2020 ). TRIA-mediated improvements in growth yield, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, water and nutrient uptake, nitrogen fixation, enzyme activities, free amino acids, reducing sugars, and soluble protein content have been reported by numbers of researchers ( Suman et al., 2017 ).…”

“…Plants treated with tricontanol increased root number causing plant to absorb more nutrients from the soil and increased production per plant and similarly the tricontanol treated strawberry had the highest number of fruit, yield per hectare and B:C ratio ( KhunteDas et al., 2019a , KhunteDas et al., 2019b ). Tricontanol also enhances vital plant physiological processes such as water and mineral nutrient uptake, essential oil yield, secondary metabolites, early bolting, nitrogen assimilation, proline metabolism, and glycine betaine accumulation thereby protecting plants from variety of environment stresses ( Zaid et al., 2020 ). TRIA controls the activation of stress resilience components in farmed plants, which helps the plants to cope with lightning-induced alterations ( Islam and Mohammad, 2020 ; Zaid et al., 2020 ).…”

TRIA has been shown in several studies to play an important role in regulating a wide range of plant morphological responses, including increasing plant height, biomass, leaf number, and leaf area per plant in most harvests.…”

Rethinking Rehabilitation of Salt-Affected Land: New Perspectives from Australian Experience

“…In most cases, such lands could be made productive only by irrigation. Worldwide, current freshwater withdrawal for irrigation purposes ranges between 25 and 80% of total freshwater resources [5], and is only going to increase, given the growing frequency and severity of drought events [6,7]. However, reliance on irrigation for agricultural production comes with an additional and a very substantial issue of land salinisation [8], with between three and six tons of salt (primarily NaCl) added to each hectare of farmland every year with irrigation water [5].…”

Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants: Role of Phytohormones

“…Myriads of anthropogenic emissions in the developmental era have further intensified the abiotic stress-induced negative impacts on agricultural productivity. The major abiotic stresses such as metals/metalloids (hereafter termed as "metal/s"), salt, ozone, UV-B radiation, temperature extremes, nutrient (deficiency and excess), flooding, and water deficit are jeopardizing the agriculture system worldwide [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. These abiotic stresses can modulate almost all plant physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes starting from the seedling to maturity stage and can ultimately cause severe negative impacts on economic yield of various crop plants.…”
