Plant-Driven Precision Irrigation in Aeroponics: Real-Time Turgor Sensing for Sustainable Lettuce Cultivation

Agriculture
The narrow margin for irrigation error in aeroponics necessitates advanced control strategies beyond fixed timer-based approaches. This study evaluates a plant-driven irrigation method based on real-time leaf turgor feedback in aeroponic romaine lettuce (

Aeroponics: Transforming Vegetable Farming for the Future

Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology
The global population is projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, necessitating a 60-70% increase in agricultural production. Traditional soil-based farming faces challenges like soil degradation, water scarcity and climate vulnerability.

Drought affects Fe deficiency‐induced responses in a purple durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) genotype

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 ...

Effects of Individual and Simultaneous Selenium and Iodine Biofortification of Baby-Leaf Lettuce Plants Grown in Two Different Hydroponic Systems

Horticulturae, 2021
The iodine (I) and selenium (Se) deficiencies affect approximately 30% and 15%, respectively, of the global population. The biofortification of vegetables is a valid way to increase the intake of iodine and selenium through the diet.
