Global climate is changing more rapidly than ever, threatening plant growth and productivity while exerting considerable direct indirect effects on the quality quantity of nutrients. This review focuses global impact change nutritional value foods. It showcases existing evidence linking factors crop nutrition concentration nutrients in edible parts. effect elevated CO2 (eCO2), temperature (eT), salinity, waterlogging drought stresses, what known regarding their influence nutrient...
Legume grains are important sources of nutrients in human and animal diets have been so for millennia. Their history as part traditional dates to the origins agriculture when their benefits soil health agricultural productivity started be realized, mostly empirically, by farmers. In time, legumes lost popularity food, either because a negative connotation “poor man's meat,” occasional gastrointestinal side effects, or habitually longer preparation times compared other types plant foods....
Summary Dothistroma needle blight ( DNB ), caused by the two fungi septosporum and D. pini, is a major disease of pines with worldwide distribution. Increases in incidence severity areas where has long been established notable range expansions have both recently observed. The aim this review was to assess relationship between , weather factors climate better understand possible underlying causes recent intensification disease. A substantial body literature shows that life cycles are closely...
Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is an abiotic stress often experienced by soybean, owing to the low solubility of iron in alkaline soils. Here, soybean lines with contrasting Fe efficiencies were analyzed test hypothesis that efficiency trait linked antioxidative signaling via proper management tissue accumulation and transport, which turn influences regulation heme non containing enzymes involved uptake ROS scavenging. Inefficient plants displayed higher oxidative lower ferric reductase...
Legume grains have provided essential nutrients in human diets for centuries, being excellent sources of proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids, and fibers. They also contain several non-nutrients that historically been connotated as toxic but recent years shown to interesting bioactive properties. The discussion on the role is becoming more important due increasing science-based evidence their potential antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anticarcinogenic At a time when legume-based...
Abstract Key message The effects of MJ on pine trees are species-specific and trigger a resistant phenotype to the PWN. A more dynamic response hormones gene expression in Pinus pinea explains high resistance Bursaphelenchus xylophilus this species. Knowledge hormonal genetic mechanisms pinewood nematode (PWN; ) is limited. To describe tree defence strategies against B. , study used plant stress hormone methyl jasmonate (MJ) four species with different susceptibility ( pinaster < P....
Abstract Background Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pinewood nematode (PWN; Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) , damages and kills pine trees is causing serious economic damage worldwide. Although ecological mechanism of infestation well described, plant’s molecular response to pathogen not known. This due mainly lack genomic information complexity disease. High throughput sequencing now an efficient approach for detecting expression genes in non-model organisms, thus providing valuable...
Abstract Background Minimal information exists on whole-plant dynamics of mineral flow through rice plants and the source tissues responsible for export to developing seeds. Understanding these phenomena in a model plant could help development nutritionally enhanced crop cultivars. A accumulation study, using harvests during reproductive under different Fe supplies, was conducted characterize roots, non-flag leaves, flag stems/sheaths, panicles Kitaake plants. Results Low supply promoted...
The pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle, is one of most serious threats to forests worldwide. Here we studied several components susceptibility PWN infection in a model group species widely distributed Europe (Pinus pinaster Ait., P. pinea L., sylvestris L. and radiata D. Don), specifically concerning anatomical chemical traits putatively related resistance, whole-plant population after experimental inoculation,...
