Volume 1 Issue 1 ((Jan-March 2026))Issue Description:
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Impact of Drought Stress on Antioxidant Enzyme Activity in Arabidopsis thaliana
Drought stress significantly limits plant growth and crop productivity. In Arabidopsis thaliana, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation under water deficit leads to oxidative stress. Plants mitigate ROS damage through antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD). This study investigated how drought affects antioxidant enzyme activity in A. thaliana under controlled conditions. Our results show significant increases in SOD, CAT, and POD activities in drought-treated plants compared to well-watered controls, indicating an upregulation of defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. These findings advance understanding of drought tolerance pathways and could inform breeding strategies for improved stress resilience in crops.
