To determine root growth and grain yield of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L) under moderate drought stress, a nursery experiment field trial were conducted with or without water stress using three representative cultivars released in different years: CW134 (old landrace), CH58 (modern cultivar) CH1 (new release). In the experiment, plants grown soil-filled rhizoboxes (MD, 55% capacity) well-watered (WW, 85% conditions. trial, plots either rainfed (moderate stress) irrigated 30 mm at each...
Soil cadmium (Cd) pollution poses a significant environmental threat, impacting global food security and human health. Recent studies have highlighted the potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to protect crops from various heavy metal stresses, including Cd toxicity. To elucidate tolerance mechanisms maize in response toxicity under AM symbiosis, this study used two genotypes with contrasting tolerance: Zhengdan958 (Cd-tolerant) Zhongke11 (Cd-sensitive). Rhizobox experiments were...
ABSTRACT Saline soil is an important inorganic carbon pool and highly susceptible to environmental change. The Tarim Basin the largest inland basin around world, with saline land making up approximately 20% of its total area, while few research has been conducted on salt‐affected density distribution in region. To identify effect salinity density, we collected 135 profiles (0–100 cm), calculated organic (SOCD), (SICD), (STCD) their distribution, discussed relationships climate...
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), a perennial forage crop with high nutritional content, is widely distributed in various environments worldwide. We recently demonstrated that the sweetpotato Orange gene (IbOr) involved increasing carotenoid accumulation and enhancing resistance to multiple abiotic stresses. In this study, an effort improve quality environmental stress tolerance of alfalfa, we transferred IbOr into alfalfa (cv. Xinjiang Daye) under control oxidative stress-inducible peroxidase...
Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination is a serious problem on agricultural land. Adequate nitrogen (N) may help ameliorate plant fitness under Cd stress. This study examined the role of N application in improving maize tolerance to Two genotypes, Zhongke11 (larger root system) and Shengrui999 (smaller system), were grown loessal soil amended with (Cd0, no added Cd; Cd1, 20 mg kg-1 as CdCl2·2.5 H2O) (N0, N; N1, 100 urea) greenhouse, plants assessed at silking maturity stages. Maize exhibited...
Abstract Background and aims Cadmium (Cd) contamination is a serious threat to plants humans. Silicon (Si) was reported have some alleviative effects on Cd stress in plants. However, whether Si alleviates toxicity maize genotypes with contrasting root system size are unknown. Methods Effects of application (200 mg kg −1 soil) shoot growth, uptake transportation under (20 were assessed at the silking maturity stages Zhongke11 (deep-rooted) Shengrui999 (shallow-rooted) pot experiment. Results...
Monitoring grassland production is of great importance for utilizing and administering grassland, developing pasturage improving the ecological environment. Using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data ground truth six regions China, regional models were established to estimate in 2005. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was first computed from MODIS data. Ground obtained a large‐scale field investigation following results obtained: (1) total hay output...
The flowering time regulator GIGANTEA (GI) connects networks involved in developmental stage transitions and environmental stress responses Arabidopsis. However, little is known about the role of GI growth, development to challenges perennial plant poplar. Here, we identified functionally characterized three GI-like genes (PagGIa, PagGIb PagGIc) from poplar (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa). PagGIs are predominantly nuclear localized their transcripts rhythmically expressed, with a peak...
Abstract Background Inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi has the potential to alleviate salt stress in host plants through mitigation ionic imbalance. However, inoculation effects vary, and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Two maize genotypes (JD52, salt-tolerant with large root system, FSY1, salt-sensitive small system) inoculated or without AM fungus Funneliformis mosseae were grown pots containing soil amended 0 100 mM NaCl (incrementally added 32 days after sowing, DAS)...
Phenotypic variation and correlations among root traits form the basis for selecting breeding soybean varieties with efficient access to water nutrients better adaptation abiotic stresses. Therefore, it is important develop a simple consistent system study in soybean. In this study, we adopted semi-hydroponic investigate variability morphological of 171 genotypes popularized Yangtze Huaihe River regions, eastern China. Highly diverse phenotypes were observed: shoot height (18.7–86.7 cm per...
Abstract Maize ( Zea mays L.) is susceptible to salinity but shows genotypic variation for salt tolerance. How maize genotypes with contrasting root morphological traits respond stress remains unclear. This study assessed in tolerance of 20 systems exposed NaCl 10 days (0, 50 mM or 100 NaCl, added four increments every other day from 14 after transplanting, DAT) a semi‐hydroponic phenotyping system temperature‐controlled greenhouse. Considerable was observed each the 12 measured shoot and...
Three grass species, switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum ), foxtail millet Setaria italica and Old World bluestem Bothriochloa ischaemum referred to as introduced, traditional, indigenous respectively, in the Loess hilly gully region on Plateau China, were grown a growth chamber. Water was withheld let soil gravimetric moisture content (SGMC) decline gradually from 14.92% for 15 days. The gas exchange characteristics, leaf water conditions, root shoot growth, use efficiency (WUE) of three grasses...
