Summary Much of humanity relies on rice ( Oryza sativa ) as a food source, but cultivation is water intensive and the crop vulnerable to drought high temperatures. Under climate change, periods reduced availability temperature are expected become more frequent, leading detrimental effects yields. We engineered high‐yielding cultivar ‘ IR 64’ produce fewer stomata by manipulating level developmental signal. overexpressed epidermal patterning factor Os EPF 1 , creating plants with...
Abstract Stomata are adjustable pores in the aerial epidermis of plants. The role stomata is usually described terms trade-off between CO 2 uptake and water loss. Little consideration has been given to their interaction with below-ground development or diffusion other gases. We overexpressed rice EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR1 ( OsEPF1 ) produce plants reduced stomatal densities, resulting lowered leaf conductance enhanced use efficiency. Surprisingly, we found that root cortical aerenchyma...
Advancements in availability and specificity of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have facilitated trait modification high-value edible herbs vegetables through the fine manipulation spectra. Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is a culinary herb, known for its fresh, citrusy aroma, high economic value. Studies into impact light intensity spectrum on C. physiology, morphology, aroma are limited. Using nasal frequency panel, selection key compounds associated with characteristic coriander was...
Phosphite represents a reduced form of phosphate that belongs to class crop growth-promoting chemicals termed biostimulants. Previous research has shown phosphite application can enhance root growth, but its underlying mechanism, especially during environmental stresses, remains elusive. To uncover this, we undertook series morphological and physiological analyses under nutrient, water heat stresses following foliar in wheat. Non-invasive 3D imaging system architecture directly soil using...
