Yield Comparisons between Cotton Variety Xin Nong Mian 1 and Its Transgenic ScALDH21 Lines under Different Water Deficiencies in a Desert-Oasis Ecotone

Agronomy, 2021
Water scarcity is the major limiting factor for oasis-desert agricultural production of cotton. It is necessary to improve cotton for drought tolerance and minimize drought-related crop losses, and the transgenic approach is efficient for cotton ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics and driving mechanism of eco-environmental quality in piedmont-oasis-desert ecotone based on long-term harmonized remote sensing ecological index- take Korla - Tiemenguan oasis in Xinjiang as an example

Environmental and Sustainability Indicators
Eco-environmental quality is the basic premise of oasis socio-economic development. Clarifying the spatiotemporal dynamic pattern and evolution mechanism in the piedmont-oasis-desert ecotone is a basis for regional development. To solve this problem, the

Does water-saving irrigation truly conserve water? Yes and No

Agricultural Water Management
Irrigation is by far the largest consumer of freshwater, and is thus widely acknowledged as a major contributor to water scarcity. Consequently, water-saving technologies (WST) are considered to be effective in reducing irrigation water use and ...
