Drought has become a major stress for agricultural productivity in temperate regions, such as central Europe. Thus, information on how crop plants respond to drought is important develop tolerant hybrids and ensure yield stability. Posttranscriptional regulation through changed protein abundances an mechanism of short-term response events that not yet been widely exploited breeding strategies. Here, we investigated the repeated exposure sensitive maize hybrid order understand general...
Abstract Maize is the most important crop worldwide in terms of production and yield, but every year a considerable amount yield lost due to drought. The foreseen increase number drought spells climate change raises question whether ability recover quickly after water pulse may be relevant trait for overall resistance. We here address following hypotheses: (i) different maize hybrids exhibit distinct physiological adaptive responses stress (ii) these affect from stress. (iii) relative...
The role of recovery after drought has been proposed to play a more prominent during the whole drought-adaption process than previously thought. Two maize hybrids with comparable growth but contrasting physiological responses were investigated using physiological, metabolic, and lipidomic tools understand plants' strategies lipid remodeling in response repeated stimuli. Profound differences adaptation between discovered phase, which likely gave rise different degrees adaptability subsequent...
Abstract Chloride is a micronutrient required for photosynthesis but when applied in the concentration of macronutrient, it may also promote growth by regulating turgor. However, if chloride accumulates excessively, can induce toxicity. The aim this study was to identify physiological dysfunctions maize ( Zea mays L.) that arise response excessive ion accumulation. For this, novel water sensor employed first time allowing vivo measurement content plant using two near IR‐wavelengths with...
