- Intervention effect Environmental stresses significantly decreased shoot and root length in common bean.
- Intervention effect Environmental stresses significantly decreased fresh and dry shoot and root weights.
- Intervention effect Environmental stresses significantly decreased phytohormone contents.
- Intervention effect Environmental stresses significantly increased total soluble sugars content.
- Intervention effect Environmental stresses significantly increased glutathione content.
- Intervention effect Environmental stresses significantly increased malondialdehyde, O2•− and H2O2 contents.
- Observation Environmental stresses damaged leaf ultrastructure, with chloroplast stroma vesiculation and swelling.
- Observation Environmental stresses activated many retrotransposons.
- Observation Retrotransposon fragments differed in length between control and stress samples.
- Intervention effect Foliar moringa leaf extract significantly increased the reported plant parameters.
- Mechanism The authors suggest MLE activates plant antioxidants and alleviates oxidative damage.
