Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on the physiological response of common centaury shoots under sodium chloride (NaCl) stress conditions. Results showed that NaCl stress reduced photosynthetic pigments, total phenolic content, and antioxidant enzyme activities, while MDA concentration decreased. Exogenous application of SNP mitigated the negative effects of salt stress, increasing photosynthetic pigment content, total phenolics, and antioxidant enzyme activities, while reducing MDA concentration.

Summary: The combination of SNP (150 μM) + PUT (0.3 mM) was found to effectively mitigate drought stress in Solanum lycopersicum seedlings, leading to improved growth parameters, relative water content, chlorophyll, and proline content. The treated plants showed significant increases in antioxidant enzymes, upregulation of antioxidant and drought-responsive genes compared to the control group. These results indicate that exogenous supplementation of SNP and PUT positively influences alleviating drought stress in S. lycopersicum.

Summary: Heat stress threatens plants in arid and semiarid regions, causing soil salinization and plant mortality. Researchers have explored using gibberellic acid (GA3) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) to alleviate these effects. This study investigated the combined effects of GA3 and SNP on wheat plants under heat stress conditions. The results showed that the SNP + GA3 treatment significantly improved plant growth and antioxidant defense mechanisms compared to individual applications or control.

Summary: The study showed that Cenostigma pyramidale utilizes Na+ recirculation mechanisms to endure salt stress, with gas exchange and carbon metabolism being affected differently depending on the time in the day when the stress began. Morning-stressed plants exhibited more damage in terms of synthesized proline, H2O2, and malondialdehyde compared to night-stressed plants.

Summary: Salt has been used as a therapeutic agent in dermatological disorders since ancient times, but its importance has been underestimated after the advent of modern medicine. The complex relationship between salt and the skin, as well as its detrimental and therapeutic effects, requires further research for clarification.

Summary: Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder affecting up to 1% of the worldwide population, and there is a need for novel neuroleptics with higher efficacy and safety. Nitric oxide (NO) appears to be implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, with NO donors like Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) being proposed as promising compounds for treatment. Further research is needed to assess the potential superiority of these compounds over currently used neuroleptics.

Summary: This study assessed the physiological, oxidative, and antioxidant enzymatic patterns of three local Sicilian landraces of long shelf-life tomatoes compared to a commercial tomato hybrid. Results showed that the local landraces had lower rehydration capacity and exhibited osmotic adjustment in response to limited soil water content. The long shelf-life tomatoes suffered minor oxidative stress due to severe soil water deficit. Catalase activity was found to be a potential biomarker for water stress conditions.

Summary: This study found that applying sodium nitroprusside (SNP) can mitigate the negative effects of salt stress on pepper plants' growth and leaf characteristics. Optimal doses of SNP can increase leaf relative water content and chlorophyll levels while reducing membrane permeability. Furthermore, SNP treatments can improve xylem conduit diameter and epidermis thickness.

Summary: This study investigated the ability of S. indica, a root colonizing mycorrhiza-like fungus, to ameliorate copper stress in proso millet plants. The results showed that S. indica inoculation increased copper accumulation in the roots and improved plant growth and photosynthesis under copper stress. Additionally, it enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity and reduced oxidative damage in the plants.
