Chlorophyll, Proximate and Mineral Composition of Yam Leaves Grown under Aeroponics and Field Systems [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2020 The chlorophyll, proximate and mineral compositions of four elite yam varieties grown under aeroponic and field systems were investigated. The yam varieties used were TDa 98/01176, TDr 95/18544, TDr 95/19177 and TDr 95/19158.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Combined Fe deficiency and drought in durum wheat trigger interactive responses: drought suppressed root Fe uptake regardless of Fe availability, and both stresses altered phytosiderophore release, ABA level and Fe transporter gene expression, revealing a trade‐off between water and Fe. Abstract Iron (Fe) is essential for plants and humans, with over 2

Sulphur‐mediated iron homeostasis in four tetraploid wheats (Triticum turgidum L.)
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Polish wheat's tolerance to S limitation enables a well‐orchestrated response for efficient Fe acquisition when S is scarce, involving increased Fe accumulation, enhanced phytosiderophore release, and upregulated TdIRO2 and TdYSL15 expression. Abstract Sulphur (S) deficiency is known to hinder iron (Fe) uptake and distribution in wheat, mainly by ...

Getting to the roots of aeroponic indoor farming
New Phytologist, 2020 Summary Vertical farming is a type of indoor agriculture where plants are cultivated in stacked systems. It forms a rapidly growing sector with new emerging technologies. Indoor farms often use soil‐free techniques such as hydroponics and aeroponics. Aeroponics involves the application to roots of a nutrient aerosol, which can lead to

Aeroponic Cloning of Capsicum spp. [PDF]
Horticulturae, 2019 Aeroponic cloning is a great strategy to maintain desired genotypes by generating a whole new plant from cuttings. While this propagation technique has been demonstrated for tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) and potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), no protocol has been developed for peppers (Capsicum spp.).
