EDITORIAL

Over the course of human history, plants have received widespread and occasionally dominant aesthetic and intellectual attention. Research of plant systems can also instruct us on how to handle issues with agriculture, human health, and the environment. The NBU Journal of Plant Sciences (NBUJPS) is an international peer-reviewed journal that has been published by the Department of Botany, University of North Bengal, since 2007. It gives the platform for publishing top-notch research on a variety of topics in plant science, animal-plant interactions, environment and ecology, and the evolution of the living world.

The journal's editorial board publishes high-calibre articles in print and online (https://njps.nbu.ac.in/) in one volume each year. The NBUJPS has officially registered for membership in CrossRef. All the articles will be assigned unique DOI numbers and will include other CrossRef services like similarity checking and reference linking. It gives me extreme pleasure to inform you that the NBUJPS publishes all the articles free of charge.

We are delighted to inform you that volume 14 has been published and will have 11 articles including review and research papers. This volume includes articles on nanotechnology, growth performance, characterization and ecology of various crops and weeds, phytoremediation of diseases and stresses in various crops, and microbes in extreme climates. These articles were contributed by numerous senior professors, scientists, and junior researchers from various institutions. The articles in this issue cover a wide spectrum of recent advancements in both basic and applied fields of plant science research, and they are all very important. Regarding contemporary breakthroughs and need-based research, this volume will greatly benefit all scientists and researchers working in various sectors of plant sciences.

    Assessment of Growth Performance and Histochemical Localisation of Reactive Oxygen Species in Fenugreek under Exogenous Calcium Ion Priming
    (University of North Bengal, 2022) Gupta, Saran Kumar; Mandal, Palash
    objective of present study was to evaluate the response of the fenugreek seeds primed with various elicitors such as calcium chloride (CC) as an exogenous source of calcium ion; a calcium chelator: Ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N´,N, tetra acetic acid (EG); and Lanthanum chloride (LC): a calcium channel blocker, under salinity stress. Significant improvement in the growth parameters of fenugreek seedlings was observed comparing with control. The stress tolerance index (STI) and histochemical detection of reactive oxygen species were performed to evaluate the tolerance of the fenugreek against salinity stress. The results exhibited noteworthy inhibitory effect of salinity stress in control set which was significantly mitigated by the exogenous calcium ion application. Furthermore, under the influence of calcium ion antagonists, EG and LC the adverse effect of salinity was more prominent than control set. In conclusion present investigation revealed that exogenous calcium ion is an ideal elicitor for enhancing growth and development of the fenugreek with better salinity stress management.
