Wheat constitutes pivotal position for ensuring food and nutritional security; however, rapidly rising soil water salinity pose a serious threat to its production globally. Salinity stress negatively affects the growth development of wheat leading diminished grain yield quality. plants utilize range physiological biochemical molecular mechanisms adapt under at cell, tissue as well whole plant levels optimize growth, by off-setting adverse effects saline environment. Recently, various...
Drought is one of the major constraints for sustainable crop production worldwide, especially in arid and semiarid regions. The global warming climate change scenario has worsened dilemma water scarcity, creating an immediate threat to food security. Conserving resources exploiting various strategies that enable plants withstand deficits need be urgently addressed. adversely affects plant growth by modulating a range physio-chemical, metabolic, molecular processes inside body, which...
Plant growth regulators are naturally biosynthesized chemicals in plants that influence physiological processes. Their synthetic analogous trigger numerous biochemical and processes involved the development of plants. Nowadays, due to changing climatic scenario, biotic abiotic stresses hamper seed germination, seedling growth, plant leading a decline biological economic yields. However, (PGRs) can potentially play fundamental role regulating responses various hence, contribute adaptation...
Potential role of triacontanol applied as a foliar treatment to ameliorate the adverse effects salinity on hot pepper plants was evaluated. In this pot experiment, under 75 mM NaCl stress environment were subjected application 25, 50, and µM treatments; whereas, untreated taken control. Salt had significant impact morphological characteristics, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange attributes, MDA content, antioxidants activities, electrolytes leakage, vitamin C, soluble protein, proline...
Abstract Background Sucking insect pests cause severe damage to cotton crop production. The development of resistant cultivars is one the most effective measures in curtailing yield losses. Considering role morphological and biochemical host plant resistance (HPR) traits defense, 12 genotypes/varieties were evaluated for leaf area, glanding, total soluble sugars, proteins, phenolics, tannin flavonoids against fluctuating populations whitefly, thrips jassid under field conditions. Results...
High soil temperature and low water potential is one of major impediment reduced delayed germination spring maize under planting.Seed priming helps to ameliorate the seedling establishment both normal less than optimal conditions but very few studies available highlight crop improvement by seed on physiological basis field conditions.The present study evaluated effects various techniques stand establishment, growth, yield attributes late sown hybrid soaked with hydro-priming (water),...
Soil salinity is one of the most devastating environmental stresses, causing a significant reduction in cultivable land worldwide.Salinity restricts growth, development, and yield plants.In response to salinity, plants alter their morpho-physiological, biochemical molecular responses.Under salt stress, plants, including wheat, employ variety biochemical, metabolic changes at cellular, tissue, whole-plant levels survive.Although progress has been made understanding mechanism tolerance there...
A glass house experiment was conducted to investigate the potential of different wheat genotypes for physiological traits, decisive their salt tolerance.Ten along with tolerant check (LU-26s) were evaluated under two salinity levels (control and 120 mM NaCl).Salt stress significantly affected growth yield attributes, as well traits genotypes.However, LU-26s, CT-09117, NRL-1237, NRL-1235, Tatara NIA-AS-14-2 had better in terms plant height, productive tiller, biomass grain per plant.These...
Low nitrogen (N) is a major limitation of cotton sustainability and productivity. N-efficient genotype cultivation can enhance productivity under the economical N usage. This study was conducted to characterize 15 genotypes for use efficiency (NUE) differential (0.0125 0.125 g kg−1 sand) supply. All studied traits significantly responded treatments. Under low conditions, plants experienced reduced seedling height, root weight, shoot weight total biomass (TDM) production, chlorophyll content,...
Field experiment was performed to investigate the effect of adjuvant on efficacy herbicides for weed management in maize under different sowing methods.Urea as an used increase atrazine plus mesotrion herbicide.Weed density, fresh and dry weight weeds, nutrient uptake (NPK) by yield related components were significantly affected methods chemical control treatments.Biomass weeds decreased most cases, controlled almost all treatments, herbicides' full reduced doses not superior manual hoeing...
High temperature retards plant growth and development. Major objective of this study was to assess heat tolerant potencies forty rice cultivars at seedling stage check the effectiveness salicylic acid (SA) in improving thermo-tolerance. Rice seeds were sown plastic bowls containing sand stress (45°C) applied on 15- days old seedlings for 12 24 h incubators. Growth related tolerance indices used as screening tools. Among all, two sensitive (Rambir DM 15-1) (RP2 DM1-30-15-04) selected SA...
ABSTRACT: In direct seeded rice (DSR), flushes of weeds are encountered, and mostly subsequent herbicides need to apply control that appear later. A farmer friendly approach was hypothesized in present study integrate the management strategies for water, soil cost effective weed free production. Efficacy various improve performance aerobic grown under varying tillage alternate water regimes evaluated. Five techniques (weedy check, weed-free, pendimethalin followed by manual weeding, +...
Maintaining population growth and competitiveness of arable lands is forcing plant scientist to develop novel ways enhance grain yield per plant.Several studies on wheat have demonstrated the manipulation number (supernumerary spikelet) arrangement (spike branching) spikelets.Several genes (FZP, ndsu, mrs1, qTS2A-1, bh, Ppd-1, bh t , m sb1, sb2, TFL) controlling supernumerary spikelet spike branching trait been reported.Different branched head germplasm sources (Fen 33, SG203, R107, 166...
