Abstract Plant calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) may function as calcium sensors and play important roles in the regulation of plant growth development responses to biotic abiotic stresses. The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genome encodes 34 CDPKs, most them have not been functionally characterized. Here, we report functional characterization CPK10 response drought stress. cpk10 mutant, a T-DNA insertion mutant for gene, showed much more sensitive phenotype stress compared with...
Drought is a major threat to plant growth and crop productivity. Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs, CPKs) are believed play important roles in responses drought stress. Here, we report that Arabidopsis thaliana CPK8 functions abscisic acid (ABA)- Ca2+-mediated The cpk8 mutant was more sensitive stress than wild-type plants, while the transgenic plants overexpressing showed enhanced tolerance compared with plants. ABA-, H2O2-, Ca2+-induced stomatal closing were impaired mutants....
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...
Biodiversity is key for human and environmental health. Available dietary ecological indicators are not designed to assess the intricate relationship between food biodiversity diet quality. We applied intake data from assessed associations with quality of women young children. Data 24-hour recalls (55% in wet season)
Phytohormones (PHs) play crucial role in regulation of various physiological and biochemical processes that govern plant growth yield under optimal stress conditions. The interaction these PHs is for survival stressful environments as they trigger signaling pathways. Hormonal cross initiate a cascade reactions which finely tune the architecture help to grow suboptimal Recently, studies have highlighted such abscisic acid, salicylic ethylene, jasmonates responses toward environmental...
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...
To impart sustainability to modern intensive farming systems, environmental pollution caused by nitrogenous fertilizers in needs be reduced optimizing their doses. estimate the grain yield and nutrtional quallity of wheat, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) chlorophyll content (SPAD) are potential screening tools identify N deficiency screen out promising cultivars. The two-year field study was comprised with five levels nitrogen (N) (control, 50, 100, 150 200 kg ha−1) two durum...
Accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) by ornamental plants (OPs) from contaminated agriculture soils is a unique technique that can efficiently reduce the metal load in food chain. Amaranthus tricolor L. has attractive characteristics acquiring higher growth rate and large biomass when grown at soils. Site-specific detailed information not available on use A. plant phytoremediation polluted sites. The study aimed to enhance uptake HMs (Pb, Zn, Cu) via amending poultry litter extract (PLE),...

Recent trends show reductions in crop productivity worldwide due to severe climatic change. Different abiotic stresses significantly affect the growth and development of plants, leading decreased yields. Salinity drought are most common stresses, especially arid semi–arid regions, major constraints for barley production. The present review attempts provide comprehensive information related plant responses adaptations salinity including physiological agronomic, order alleviate adverse effect...
Increased infestation of weedy rice-a noxious agricultural pest has caused significant reduction grain yield cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) worldwide. Knowledge on genetic diversity and structure populations will facilitate the design effective methods to control this weed by tracing its origins dispersal patterns in a given region. To generate such knowledge, we studied 21 from Sri Lanka based 23 selected microsatellite (SSR) loci. Results indicated an exceptionally high level...
Maize is an essential dietary component in human food and animal feed formulation.With the rising trend of global climate change, grain yield quality losses maize are expected to increase, because various biotic abiotic stress all over world.Among these, drought most considerable one; it remarkably influences growth traits maize.Hence, improvement tolerant genotypes has potential stabilize even though increases maize.Therefore, developing cultivars a challenge for breeders.There two ways...
Abstract. Atmospheric water vapor stable isotopes are crucial for understanding hydrological cycle processes under climate change. This study presents the results from a year-long in situ monitoring of atmospheric (δ18O, δD) at Matara, Sri Lanka, March 2020 to February 2021 assess how oceanic sources and moisture transport influence coastal isotopic composition. We identified clear seasonal patterns composition, with δ18O, δD, d-excess showing substantial variation between southwest...
