Spermine mediated improvements on stomatal features, growth, grain filling and yield of rice under differing water availability

Scientific Reports, 2021
Rice which belongs to the grass family is vulnerable to water stress. As water resources get limited, the productivity of rice is affected especially in granaries located at drought prone areas.

Rhizodeposition Drives One Third of Belowground Carbon Input in Agroecosystems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study quantifies photosynthesized C allocation in the plant–soil system across six crop types: barley, wheat, maize, rice, legumes and grasses. It reports C partitioning into shoot respiration, shoot‐C, root‐C, net rhizodeposition and root‐derived CO2, providing standardized percentage averages and GPP‐derived absolute values as a robust baseline ...

Soil pH Amelioration Synergizes Carbon Accrual with Yield Gains Under Organic Substitution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Soil pH shifts towards neutrality in both acidic and alkaline soils under organic substitution. A global synthesis links pH amelioration to soil organic carbon accrual through enhanced microbial biomass after accounting for added organic carbon and its interaction with pH. This pH amelioration‐shared soil organic carbon accrual accounts for 5.1–8.6% of

Climate-smart agriculture

, 2019
L’agriculture intelligente face au climat (AIC) est une approche intégrée de l’agriculture compatible avec les changements climatiques (hausse des températures moyennes, événements extrêmes plus fréquents…). Les objectifs de l’AIC sont de favoriser l’adaptation et l’atténuation face à ces dérèglements tout en garantissant la sécurité alimentaire ...

Interfacial Salt Redistribution Enables Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting in a Biomimetic Multi‐Layer Hygroscopic Membrane

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...
