Bee on Boron-Sufficient Boron Supply of <i>Brassica napus</i> Is Crucial for Attracting Pollinating Insects to Ensure Seed Yield. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The study demonstrates that sufficient B supply is crucial for successful rapeseed flower growth and fertility as well as for attracting pollinating insects, thus securing yield in a pollinator‐dependent crop. It is illustrated that climate change can pose a threat to crop yield via both direct effects, that is, an impaired nutrient uptake, and ...

Borax Promotes Fertility of Brassica napus Better Than Other Boron Species at Suboptimal Supply

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Continuous and sufficient boron (B) supply is essential for achieving maximum yield in Brassica napus. Increasing incidences of environmental water limitation are linked to reduced plant B availability and increased B deficiencies.

Low antimony concentration promoted growth, glucosinolates metabolism and biological activity of two Brassica species

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2023
Antimony (Sb), a common rare heavy metal, is found naturally in soils at low concentrations. This study aimed to understand the effect of low Sb concentrations on plant growth and metabolism. To this end, canola (Brassica napus L. var. napus) and turnip

Optimizing Soil Properties Through Hydrogel and Sawdust Combinations for Better Plant Growth

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the effects of various soil amendments on poplar cutting vitality under drought conditions, as observed using X‐ray computed tomography (CT). It compares soil alone, soil with sawdust, soil with hydrogel, and their combination, highlighting differences in internal structure, water retention, and root development.

Genome-wide analysis of the auxin/indoleacetic acid (Aux/IAA) gene family in allotetraploid rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

BMC Plant Biology, 2017
Background Auxin/Indoleacetic acid (Aux/IAA) genes participate in the auxin signaling pathway and play key roles in plant growth and development. Although the Aux/IAA gene family has been identified in many plants, within allotetraploid Brassica napus ...

Preharvest potassium silicate treatments influence the morphological appearance and enhance nutritional composition of almond kernels

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The almond industry requires new strategies to improve almond kernel quality. The use of biostimulants such as potassium silicate (KSi) is an eco‐friendly and non‐polluting alternative. The aim of this work was to investigate the preharvest application of KSi solutions at 2 and 20 mmol L−1 to ‘Peraleja’ almond trees during two ...

Calcium signaling in plant defense

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Calcium signaling acts as a central hub in plant immunity, translating pathogen perception into defense responses. This review highlights the channels, sensors, and signaling networks involved, and discusses how pathogens subvert calcium dynamics, as well as how this knowledge may inspire innovative strategies for engineering durable crop resistance ...

An integrated social and natural sciences case study for the reuse of organic wastes as soil amendments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

Comprehensive identification, characterization, and expression analysis of the MORF gene family in Brassica napus

BMC Plant Biology
Background RNA editing in chloroplast and mitochondrion transcripts of plants is an important type of post-transcriptional RNA modification in which members of the multiple organellar RNA editing factor gene family (MORF) play a crucial role.
