The effects of greywater irrigation on vegetable crops and soil [PDF]
, 2013 Research on greywater irrigation has mainly focused attention on the reuse of greywater in relation to its quality and crop biomass but not on quality of edible vegetable crops.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Indoor vertical farming (VF) offers practical advantages for the cultivation of plant protein bio‐factories including plant uniformity, product consistency, water/nutrient recycling and production cycles on a year‐round basis. Much progress has been achieved toward the development of innovative systems for artificial lighting, automated ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The productivity and quality of grain crops in semiarid environments is often affected by drought, which is likely to accentuate due to predicted climate changes. Wild pea (Pisum fulvum Sibth. & Smith) accessions are known to harbour useful allelic diversity for drought responses.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

An empirical design theory for compact drip irrigation emitters [PDF]
With freshwater reserves rapidly diminishing, sustainable irrigation technologies such as drip irrigation must be widely adopted to meet the food demand of a growing global population.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.Abstract Heatwaves are intensifying worldwide, often coinciding with high vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and soil drought. Yet, how temperate tree species tolerate these combined stresses remains elusive. Using single‐tree gas‐exchange chambers, we examined the response of leaf gas exchange and thermoregulation of three broadleaved tree species to a ...

Identification and Evaluation of the Main Constraints on Cotton Production Within a Collective Drip Irrigation System in Southern Xinjiang, China [PDF]
Intensive and large-scale drip irrigation plays a crucial role in ensuring cotton production in Northwest China. However, significant differences in cotton production have occurred at times within large-scale irrigation systems, and quantitative ...

A Wild Emmer Wheat B3 Transcription Factor Regulates Seed Growth and Nutrient Allocation
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seed weight (SW) and nutrient allocation are key determinants of yield and grain quality in wheat, yet the regulatory basis of naturally occurring variation in these traits remains poorly resolved. Wild emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccoides), the progenitor of modern wheat, retains extensive eco‐geographically structured genetic diversity that was
