Neonicotinoid insecticides in the environment: A critical review of their distribution, transport, fate, and toxic effects
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Neonicotinoid insecticides (NENIs) have become increasingly common in recent decades in the control of crop pests and other plant pathogens. It is undeniable that the practice improves crop yield and economic productivity ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Editorial: Plant secondary metabolites and their effects on environmental adaptation based on functional genomics
( Frontiers Media , 2023 , Other)Secondary metabolites are organic compounds produced by plants that are not directly involved in growth, development, or reproduction, but play important roles in adaptation to the environment (Hu et al., 2018). These ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
