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 ...
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 ...
A critical review on Pulicaria species occurring in Qatar: traditional uses, phytochemistry and biological activities
(
Springer Nature
, 2024 , Article)
In Qatar, three main species of Pulicaria (from Asteraceae) such as Pulicaria undulata (L.) C.A.Mey, Pulicaria gnaphalodes (Vent.) Boiss. and Pulicaria sicula (L.) Moris are reported. Traditionally, these species have ...
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 ...
Silver nanoparticles protect tillering in drought-stressed wheat by improving leaf water relations and physiological functioning
(
CSIRO Publishing
, 2023 , Article)
The tillering phase of wheat (Triticum aestivum) crops is extremely susceptible to drought. We explored the potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in protecting wheat genotypes from drought injury during this sensitive ...
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 ...
Pre treatment of melatonin rescues cotton seedlings from cadmium toxicity by regulating key physio-biochemical and molecular pathways
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Melatonin, a plant/animal origin hormone, regulates plant response to abiotic stresses by protecting them from oxidative damage. This study identified physiochemical and molecular mechanism of melatonin-induced cadmium ...
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 ...
Assessment of Heat Risk of Winter Wheat Cropping Based on Long-Term Meteorological Data
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
The frequency of heat events is likely to increase due to global climate change, posing an increasing risk to wheat production. To optimize crop management strategies for coping with future climates, it is crucial to ...
