For centuries, traditional agricultural systems have contributed to food and livelihood security throughout the world. Recognizing ecological legacy in may help us develop novel sustainable agriculture. We examine how rice-fish coculture (RF), which has been designated a "globally important heritage system," maintained for over 1,200 y south China. A field survey demonstrated that although rice yield rice-yield stability are similar RF monoculture (RM), requires 68% less pesticide 24%...
Salinity is a global conundrum that negatively affects various biometrics of agricultural crops. Jasmonic acid (JA) phytohormone reinforces multilayered defense strategies against abiotic stress, including salinity. This study investigated the effect JA (60 μM) on two wheat cultivars, namely ZM9 and YM25, exposed to NaCl (14.50 dSm-1) during consecutive growing seasons. Morphologically, plants primed with enhanced vegetative growth yield components. The improvement by priming associated...
Negative or positive feedback between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and host plants can contribute to plant species interactions, but how this affects invasion resistance is not well known. Here we tested alterations in AMF community induced by an invasive generate the itself affect subsequent interactions its native neighbors. We first examined effects of forb Solidago canadensis L. on communities comprising five different species. then altered mutualisms formed with legume Kummerowia...
Summary Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) to reduce the application of N fertilisers in a way that benefits environment and reduces farmers' costs is an ongoing objective for sustainable wheat production. However, whether how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) affect NUE still not well explored. Three independent but complementary experiments were conducted decipher contribution roots AMF uptake utilisation wheat. We show temporal complementarity pattern between shaping...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can form obligate symbioses with the vast majority of land plants, and AMF distribution patterns have received increasing attention from researchers. At local scale, is well documented. Studies at large scales, however, are limited because intensive sampling difficult. Here, we used ITS rDNA sequence metadata obtained public databases to study continental global scales. We also these investigate whether host plant main factor that affects
Abstract BACKGROUND Crop residue management and nitrogen loss are two important environmental problems in the rice–wheat rotation system China. This study investigated effects of burial straw on water percolation, by leaching, crop growth yield. Greenhouse mesocosm experiments were conducted over course three simulated cropping seasons a rice1–wheat–rice2 rotation. RESULTS Greater amounts resulted more irrespective season. Burial at 20 35 cm significantly reduced, but 50 increased leaching....
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ( AMF ) are key regulators of ecosystem processes, yet how their biodiversity works in ecosystems remains poorly understood. We documented the extent to which taxonomic resolution influenced effect taxa on plant performance (growth, nutrient uptake and stress tolerance) a meta‐analysis 902 articles. found that depended resolution. Plant was positively promoted by family richness, while no for fungal species richness. In addition, negative between...
Elevated CO2 (eCO2 ) is one of the climate changes that may benefit plant growth under emerging soil contaminants such as heavy metals. In this regard, morpho-physiological mechanisms underlying mitigating impact eCO2 on beryllium (Be) phytotoxicity are poorly known. Hence, we investigated and Be interactive effects metabolism two species from different groups: cereal (oat) legume (alfalfa). stress significantly reduced photosynthetic attributes in both species, but alfalfa was more...
