CRISPR/Cas genome editing improves abiotic and biotic stress tolerance of crops

open access: yesFrontiers in Genome Editing, 2022
Abiotic stress such as cold, drought, saline-alkali stress and biotic stress including disease and insect pest are the main factors that affect plant growth and limit agricultural productivity.

Emerging connections between small RNAs and phytohormones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Small RNAs (sRNAs), mainly including miRNAs and siRNAs, are ubiquitous in eukaryotes. sRNAs mostly negatively regulate gene expression via (post-)transcriptional gene silencing through DNA methylation, mRNA cleavage, or translation inhibition.

Worldwide Research on Plant Defense against Biotic Stresses as Improvement for Sustainable Agriculture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Agriculture is the basis for food production on a global scale. Sustainable agriculture tries to improve or maintain the quality of food without compromising the environment.

Stresses in Plants: Biotic and Abiotic

open access: yes, 2022
Plants are subjected to a variety of environmental stresses, which reduces and limits agricultural crop productivity. Environmental stresses that affect plants are of two types: biotic and abiotic stresses. Abiotic stress includes temperature, ultraviolet radiation, salinity, floods, drought, heavy metals, etc., which results in the loss of important ...

Inhibitory activity of carbon quantum dots against Phytophthora infestans and fungal plant pathogens and their effect on dsRNA-induced gene silencing

open access: yesBiotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2022
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have many potential applications due to their cell-penetrating ability, biocompatibility and tunable properties. Among a variety of characteristics, the inhibition of bacteria by CQDs is often reported.

Exploring and exploiting cuticle biosynthesis for abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in wheat and barley

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Wheat and barley are widely distributed cereal crops whose yields are adversely affected by environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and attacks of pathogens and pests.

Coordinated Epigenetic Regulation in Plants: A Potent Managerial Tool to Conquer Biotic Stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plants have evolved variable phenotypic plasticity to counteract different pathogens and pests during immobile life. Microbial infection invokes multiple layers of host immune responses, and plant gene expression is swiftly and precisely reprogramed at ...

Productivity, competition behaviour and weed dynamics of various row proportions of maize (Zea mays)-legumes intercropping in Arunachal Pradesh

open access: yesThe Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2014
Intercropping is the simultaneous cultivation of more than one crop species on the same piece of land and is regulated as the practical application of basic ecological principles such as diversity, competition and facilitation. Farmers of the region sow

Bacterial Endophytes: The Hidden Actor in Plant Immune Responses against Biotic Stress

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Bacterial endophytes constitute an essential part of the plant microbiome and are described to promote plant health by different mechanisms. The close interaction with the host leads to important changes in the physiology of the plant.
