Improvement of wheat yield grown under drought stress by boron foliar application at different growth stages by F.M.F. Abdel-Motagally, Manal El-Zohri

“…Boron spraying at booting stage enhances also plant pigments contents recording its highest mean values under normal water level (100% from the amount of water consumption for wheat). The reduction in stress markers (proline and H2O2) and the enhancement of plant pigments content under water stress levels (50% from the amount of water consumption for wheat) by B spraying suggests an alleviating effect of boron foliar application to water stress in the test plant. …”

Curcumin as Therapeutic Modulator of Impaired Antioxidant Defense System: Implications for Oxidative Stress-Associated Reproductive Dysfunction by Tuba Latif Virk, Qi Liu, Yuguo Yuan, Xianyu Xu, Fenglei Chen

“…Recent studies demonstrated the protective role of curcumin against oxidative stress and the inflammatory response, primarily through the upregulation of key antioxidant enzymes (including SOD, CAT and GPx), a reduction in oxidative stress markers (e.g., ROS, MDA) and by suppressing the pro-inflammatory signaling pathways (such as NF-kB, JAK/STAT) while activating the NRF2/HO-1 pathway to further enhance the cellular antioxidant defense. …”
