Photodegradation and Its Effect on Plant Litter Decomposition in Terrestrial Ecosystems: A Systematic Review
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article Review)
Photodegradation is an important mechanism that affects carbon and nutrient cycling; a significant amount of data has been reported previously. The present review includes the effect of a wider spectrum of solar radiation ...
Promotive Role of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid or Salicylic Acid Combined with Citric Acid on Sunflower Growth by Regulating Manganese Absorption
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Manganese (Mn) is an essential nutrient in most organisms. Establishing an effective regulatory system of Mn absorption is important for sustainable crop development. In this study, we selected sunflower as the model plant ...
Abrin inactivating mitochondrial ribosome induced anther abortion in cotton CMS line LD6A by damaging mitochondrial membrane structure
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) system has extensively been exploited for hybrid vigor in plant breeding programs. However, its application in many crops is limited due to poor understanding of molecular mechanism of fertility ...
Improving Nitrogen Acquisition and Utilization Through Root Architecture Remodelling: Insight from Legumes
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article)
In crop species, nutrient deficiency severely damages plant growth and developmental processes, leading to end-yield penalties. Root architecture remodelling is considered a key factor underpinning nutrient-poor soil ...
5-Aminolevulinic acid mitigates the chromium-induced changes in Helianthus annuus L. as revealed by plant defense system enhancement
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Chromium (Cr) in the soil is one of the major pollutants for agricultural production. This study examined the efficiency of sunflower plants to remediate Cr-contaminated soils using a plant growth regulator, 5-aminolevolinic ...
A robust field-based method to screen heat tolerance in wheat
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Wheat is highly sensitive to heat shocks and their timing. Hence, field-based ranking for heat tolerance may be confounded by phenological variations at the time of heat events. A photoperiod-extension method (PEM) was ...
Characteristics of historical precipitation for winter wheat cropping in the semi-arid and semi-humid area
(
Frontiers Media
, 2023 , Article)
Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of major crops in the area along Huai river, China where it is a semi-arid and semi-humid region with sufficient precipitation for an entire season, but with uneven distribution ...
Superior leaf physiological performance contributes to sustaining the final yield of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes under terminal heat stress
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article)
This study aimed to optimize methods for identifying heat-tolerant and heat-susceptible cotton plants by examining the relationship between leaf physiology and cotton yield. Cotton accessions were exposed to elevated ...
Ecological risks of microplastics contamination with green solutions and future perspectives
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The rise of plasticulture as mulching material in farming systems has raised concerns about microplastics (MPs) in the agricultural landscape. MPs are emerging pollutants in croplands and water systems with significant ...
Molecular Evidence of Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation Inhibition by a Combination of Selected Qatari Medicinal Plants Crude Extracts
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy, and conventional medicine has failed
to establish efficient treatment modalities. Conventional medicine failed due to lack of knowledge of
the mechanisms that underpin ...
