Abstract Plants must cope with different environmental stresses during their whole lifetime. Abiotic like drought, salt, mineral nutrition disturbances and temperature stress are commonly interconnected through some physiological events in stressed plants, such as the synthesis of protective plant compounds a response to stress. Many these, produced within primary or secondary metabolism, act functional not exclusively plants but other organisms well. Concurrently, many active biostimulants...
Mosf commonly used correlation coefficients are Pearson's product moment coefficient and Spearman's rank coefficient. The aim of this paper is to compare a on the same data set. winter wheat grain cadmium (Cd) concentration was correlated zinc (Zn) concentration, plant height, weight, number spikelets per spike 1000 kernel weight. Data were collected from experiment carried out in semi controlled conditions, where genotypic specificity varieties tested Cd Zn accumulation uncontaminated...
Selenium (Se) is an important micronutrient which essential for most living organisms and occurs in both organic inorganic forms the water system, soils, biomass, atmosphere. In addition to being humans animals, Se beneficial plants mostly involved antioxidant activity/response, as well a growth promoter. deficiency diet global problem, levels soils generally reflect its presence food and, thus, availability humans. participates response mechanisms of organism, heavy-metal detoxification,...
Industrialization and urbanization have led to an increased accumulation of waste materials that are transformed into a nutrient-rich high-quality product called vermicompost by the vermicomposting process. Vermicomposting is ecofriendly economically favorable biotechnological process involves interaction earthworms microorganisms. Due importance this its great potential in dealing with consequences accumulation, review aims provide key insights as well highlight knowledge gaps. It...
Abstract Plants are the first step of a metal's pathway from soil to heterotrophic organisms such as animals and humans, so content metallic trace elements in edible parts plant represent available load these metals that may enter food chain through plants. Among metal elements, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn micronutrients they essential amounts for physiological processes living therefore significant component soil–plant–food continuum. Billions people around world suffer micronutrient malnutrition. This...
The aim of this study was to determine the concentration heavy metals Cd, Pb, and essential trace elements Zn, Fe in button mushroom fruits depending growing substrate quality (substrate A B) time picking (mushroom stages). Be-side that based on results obtained, accumulation coefficient studied ele-ments from into fruiting bodies determined. meas-urement for Fe, Pb concentrations mushrooms grown indicated an increase their levels toward end production cycle, while Cd con-centrations...
Biofortification experiments with three winter wheat cultivars treated sodium selenate through foliar- and soil-fertilisation were conducted at two locations in Croatia Serbia consecutive years to increase the selenium (Se) concentration bread-making grain. The treatments were: (a) 5 g ha−1 Se foliar-, (b) 10 (c) soil surface-application they compared (d) control. Both increased grains from 2.6- 4.6-fold. grain was highest foliar-fertilisation of it by 29–32 µg kg−1 dry weight for each gram...
This study aimed to analyze the seasonal dynamics of sugar beet leaf and root yield quality in different plant populations nitrogen fertilization rate. The field trials were set as four planting densities (60,000 140,000 plants ha−1) three spring rates: no fertilization, pre-sowing (45 kg ha−1 N), with top dressing (99 N 2014 85.5 2015. changes growth done measuring area (LA), index (LAI), specific (SLA), ratio (LAR). highest LAI was determined on 30 July at (9.35 m2 m−1) 2015 20 June...
This study aimed to explore how ten selected winter barley genotypes responded variations in environmental conditions during the growth season by using fast chlorophyll a fluorescence and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) at booting, anthesis early grain-filling stage. Lower amount of rainfall induced instability function PSII, observed as positive K-band six L-band seven genotypes. At grain filling, all displayed negative K- L-bands, suggesting an increase stability within PSII....
Wheat cultivars differ in their response to nitrogen (N) fertilizer, both terms of its uptake and utilization. Characterizing this variation is an important step improving the N use efficiency (NUE) future while maximizing production (yield) potential. In study, we compared agronomic performance 48 diverse wheat released between 1936 2016 at low high input levels field conditions assess relationship NUE components. Agronomic trait values were significantly lower treatment, tested showed a...
Climate change poses a serious threat to agricultural production. Water deficit in soils is one of the consequences climate that has negative impact on crop growth and yield. Selenium (Se) known be involved plant defense against biotic abiotic stress through metabolic, structural, physiological activity higher plants. The aim this study was investigate response Se-biofortified soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) seedlings under osmotic stress. For research, we used biofortified grain obtained...
Selenium (Se) is a nonmetal that essential for humans and other animals, considered beneficial plants. The bioavailability of Se strongly influences its content in the food chain. Soils are main source Se, their primarily availability, along with soil properties. A field survey was conducted on soils Southeast Europe, specifically Croatia (Osijek), Bosnia Herzegovina (Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Mostar, Prud), Serbia (Novi Sad). Soil samples were taken from arable layer (0–30 cm depth), two types...
This study aimed to determine whether low dietary Se content affects the function and mechanisms mediating vascular relaxation of rat aortas, test role oxidative stress in observed differences. Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were maintained for 10 weeks on (low-Se group; N = 20) or normal (norm-Se chow. Dose responses acetylcholine (ACh; 10−9–10−5M) response reduced pO2 tested noradrenaline-precontracted aortic rings absence/presence nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor nitro-l-arginine...
Determining the maturity of compost and other organic fertilizers is very important because possible phytotoxic or phytostimulative effects. The can be assessed on basis chemical analyses, germination test with different plants most often used to determine phytotoxicity. In this research, using results produced from plant residues after maintenance green public areas was assessed. At same time, a carried out 4 species (cucumber, garden cress, triticale, barley) phytotoxicity (i.e. extract in...
