Researchers found that applying GABA and nitric oxide together to eggplant seedlings significantly counteracted the growth and photosynthesis damage caused by chlorpyrifos pesticide exposure, offering a natural, chemical-free way to protect crops from pesticide stress.
1
Chlorpyrifos stress reduced eggplant biomass by 48%, chlorophyll a by 35%, and photosynthetic performance index by 52%
2
Combined GABA + nitric oxide treatment outperformed either compound applied alone in restoring growth, pigmentation, and photosynthetic function
3
The GABA + nitric oxide combination helped maintain redox balance by boosting the plant's own antioxidant system, reducing oxidative damage from pesticide exposure
