Plant core microbiomes consist of persistent key members that provide critical host functions, but their assemblages can be interrupted by biotic and abiotic stresses. The pathobiome is comprised dynamic microbial interactions in response to disease status the host. Hence, identifying variation microbiome significantly advance our understanding microbial-microbial consequences for progression functions. In this study, we combined glasshouse field studies analyse soil plant rhizosphere cotton...
ABSTRACT A plant‐based thermal optimum approach to irrigation scheduling provides potential benefits in that water applications are scheduled on the basis of plant response status. Such systems require a defined for crop and while such values have been identified cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars United States, there is no information this type common Australian production. This paper outlines threefold determining temperature (T opt ) commercial cultivar Sicot 70BRF an production...
Abstract Conventional breeding techniques have been integral to the development of many agronomically important traits in numerous crops. The adoption modern biotechnology approaches further advanced and refined trait introduction beyond scope possible through conventional breeding. However, crop yields continue be challenged by abiotic biotic factors that require are more genetically complex than can addressed or traditional genetic engineering. Therefore, required maintain improve...
Abstract Leaf gas exchange measurements are an important tool for inferring a plant's photosynthetic biochemistry. In most cases, the responses of CO 2 assimilation to variable intercellular concentrations ( A / C i response curves) used model maximum (potential) rate carboxylation by ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco, V cmax ) and electron transport at given incident photosynthetically active radiation flux density (PAR; J PAR ). The standard Farquhar‐von...
Genomic selection (GS) has successfully been used in plant breeding to improve efficiency and reduce time cost. However, there not a study evaluate GS prediction models that may be for predicting cotton lines across multiple environments. In this study, we evaluated the performance of Bayes Ridge Regression, BayesA, BayesB, BayesC Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces regression models. We then extended single-site model accommodate genotype × environment interaction (G×E) order assess merits...
Crop canopy temperature (Tc) is coupled with transpiration, which a function of soil and atmospheric conditions plant water status. Thus, Tc has been identified as real-time, plant-based tool for crop stress detection. Such methods theoretically integrate the status both its environment. However, previous studies have highlighted limitations difficulty interpreting response to stress. This study investigates links between cotton Tc, established measures relations vapour pressure deficit...
Leaf hairiness (pubescence) is an important plant phenotype which regulates leaf transpiration, affects sunlight penetration, and provides increased resistance or susceptibility against certain insects. Cotton accounts for 80% of global natural fibre production, in this crop also yield value. Currently, key measured visually slow, laborious operator-biased. Here, we propose a simple, high-throughput low-cost imaging method combined with deep-learning model, HairNet, to classify images great...
More frequent droughts and an increased pressure on water resources, combined with social licence to operate, will inevitably decrease resources available for fully irrigated cotton production. Therefore, the long-term future of industry require more drought tolerant varieties that can perform well when grown in rainfed cropping regions often exposed intermittent drought. A trait limits transpiration (TRLim) under vapour deficit (VPD) may increase crop yield drier atmospheric conditions...
Abstract Genomic selection or genomic prediction (GP) has increasingly become an important molecular breeding technology for crop improvement. GP aims to utilise genome-wide marker data predict value traits of economic importance. Though studies have been widely conducted in various species such as wheat and maize, its application cotton, essential renewable textile fibre crop, is still significantly underdeveloped. We aim develop a new GP-based system that can improve the efficiency our...
Abstract Improving the heat tolerance of cotton is a major concern for breeding programs. To address this need, fast and effect way quantifying thermotolerant phenotypes required. Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) based enzyme viability testing following high-temperature stress can be used as vegetative phenotype. This because when live cells encounter TTC solution, undergoes chemical reduction producing visible, insoluble red product called triphenyl formazan, that quantified...
Abstract Australian cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) farmers are adopting canopy temperature (Tc)‐based irrigation scheduling as a decision support tool to improve on‐farm production. High N supply, characteristic of the high‐yielding, furrow‐irrigated system Australia, might alter Tc with implications for irrigation. We examined growth, physiological, and biochemical traits changes in well‐watered water‐stressed plants supplied high excessive levels under glasshouse conditions. also Tc, lint...
Crop yields in food and fibre production systems throughout the world are significantly limited by soil water deficits. Identifying conservation mechanisms within existing genotypes is pivotal developing varieties with improved performance water-limited conditions. The objective of this study was to screen Australian germplasm for variability transpiration response progressive drying using a glasshouse dry-down experiment. It tests hypothesis that traits may provide tolerance stress,...
