With salt stress presenting a major threat to global food production, attention has turned the identification and breeding of crop cultivars with improved tolerance. For instance, some accessions wild species higher tolerance than commercial varieties are being investigated for their potential expand production into marginal areas or use brackish waters irrigation. However, assessment individual plant responses in field trials is time-consuming, limiting, example, longitudinal large numbers...

Salinity is one of the most significant environmental stresses for sustainable crop production in major arable lands globe. Thus, we conducted experiments with 27 tomato genotypes to screen salinity tolerance at seedling stage, which were treated non-salinized (S1) control (18.2 mM NaCl) and salinized (S2) (200 irrigation water. In all genotypes, elevated treatment contributed a depression morphological physiological characteristics; however, smaller decrease was found certain tolerant...

Shrimp waste is rich in organic compounds and essential plant nutrients, e.g., calcium (Ca), converting these wastes to fertilizer important for environmental preservation achieve sustainable agricultural management. In the current study, Ca-rich biochar was prepared from shrimp (SWB) by pyrolysis at 300 °C. We hypothesized that will help solving problem of growth saline soil reducing sodium (Na) uptake mitigating oxidative stress. The study aimed investigate effect SWB on quality sandy...

Excessive evaporative loss of water from the topsoil in arid-land agriculture is compensated via irrigation that exploits massive freshwater resources. The cumulative effects decades unsustainable withdrawals many arid regions are now threatening food–water security. While plastic mulches can reduce evaporation topsoil, their cost and nonbiodegradability limit utility. In response, we report on biodegradable superhydrophobic sand (SHS), a bioinspired enhancement common with nanoscale wax...

Farmers are encouraged to invest in crops that will grow and produce under the predicted climate change, such as global warming, limited water supplies, drought-imposed restrictions on agriculture. The drought-tolerant pomegranate ( Punica granatum L.) is a promising horticulture crop can be grown arid conditions. To successfully implement irrigation management strategies orchards, knowledge of plant responses deficits, tree shoot fruit growth patterns, conserve required. present study...

This study investigated the impact of heavy oil fly ash landfill at Rabigh governorate, Saudi Arabia, on growth and metal accumulation in indigenous plants Zygophyllum coccineum L. Leptadenia pyrotechnica Samples these two plant species together with soil were collected from inside distances 250, 500, 1000 m away north, east, west, south locations. Data fresh dry weights samples (aerial parts roots) elemental analyses conducted. The results showed that vegetation within exhibited lowest...

Quinoa is one of the highest nutritious grains, and global consumption quinoa flour has increased as people pay more attention to health. Due its high value, susceptible adulteration. Cross-contamination between other can be easily neglected due their highly similar appearance. Therefore, detecting adulteration in important consumers, industries, regulatory agencies. In this study, portable hyperspectral imaging visible near-infrared (VNIR) spectral range (400–1000 nm) was applied a rapid...

<p>Flax is a potential winter crop for Egypt that can be grown both seed and fiber. The study was conducted during two successive seasons of 2013/14 2014/15 in the experimental farm El-Gemmeiza Agricultural Research Station, Agriculture Centre, Egypt. objective this work to evaluate effect irrigation intervals (25, 35 45) on straw, seed, oil, fiber yields quality flax cultivars (Sakha1, Giza9 Giza10). Irrigation significantly influenced all studied traits except oil percentage....

Globally, drought and salinity stress critically constrain potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production. Considering the impact of these stresses on crops increasing food demand, insight into both tolerance susceptibility is essential. The present study screens two cultivars, BARI-401 Spunta, for their to simulated by in vitro LiCl mannitol exposure. Plantlets treated with a range (0, 10, 30, 40 mM) 50, 100, 200, 250 concentrations were biochemically physiologically characterized assess...

Globally, many crop production areas are threatened by drought and salinity. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is susceptible to these challenging environmental conditions. In this study, an in vitro approach was employed compare the tolerance of potato cultivars ‘BARI-401’ (red skin) ‘Spunta’ (yellow skin). To simulate ionic osmotic stress, MS media supplemented with lithium chloride (LiCl 20 mM) mannitol (150 mM). GC-MS spectrophotometry techniques were used determine metabolite accumulation....
