Validation of a drought stress protocol for Solanum Lycopersicum

open access: yes
reservedIl pomodoro (Solanum lycopersicum) è una coltura chiave a livello mondiale, apprezzata sia per la sua importanza economica che per la ricerca. Lo stress idrico, una delle principali sfide nella coltivazione del pomodoro, influisce negativamente ...

Mexican drought: natural variability and climate change from the Medieval period to the greenhouse future

open access: yes, 2008
The ongoing drought in the western U.S. began in 1998 and has now continued, with some interruptions and despite a quite wet winter 2007/8, for close to 10 years.

Exposure to heat waves and drought improves subsequent leaf heat tolerance for five oak species in southern California

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.

MITIGATION OF DROUGHT STRESS IN TOMATO WITH ASCOPHYLLUM NODOSUM (L.) LE JOL. EXTRACTS

open access: yes, 2014
Growth and development of a plant can be affected due to various biotic and abiotic stresses such as water, salinity, frost and pathogens. Application of seaweeds and their extracts to mitigate plant stresses in agriculture is one of the promising ...

Spectroscopic and In Silico Determination of the Structural and Antioxidant Properties of Essential Oils From Lavandula Species Cultivated in the Silivri Region of Istanbul

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants are important sources of bioactive compounds that contribute to nutrition, health maintenance, and disease prevention. In this study, the chemical composition and antioxidant potential of essential oils obtained from Lavandula angustifolia “Sevtopolis” and Lavandula × intermedia cultivated in the Silivri region of Istanbul were ...

Thirsty country: climate change and drought in Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This report argues that climate change is likely making drought worse in the southeast and southwest of Australia, which are some of our most populous regions. Introduction Drought has deeply affected Australia throughout its history.

The effects of drought stress on the water relations in Brassica

open access: yes, 1993
The physiological responses of different species of Brassica to induced drought stress were studied by analysing the relationships between relative water content, leaf water potential and leaf osmotic potential during the onset of drought stress.

Seasonal Fluctuations of Plastochromanol‐8 and α‐Tocopherol Amounts in the Leaves of Cecropia Trees

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastochromanol‐8 (PC‐8) is a homologue of γ‐tocotrienol with a longer side chain (eight instead of three isoprene units) and therefore also a representative of the tocochromanol (vitamin E) group. PC‐8 has been determined in various plants and seeds, with Cecropia sp. leaves showing unusually high levels.

Drought Stress and the Need for Drought Stress Sensing in a World of Global Climate Change

open access: yes, 2012
Water scarcity imposes huge reductions in crop yield and is one of the greatest limitations to crop expansion outside present-day agricultural areas. Because the scenarios for global environmental change suggest a future increase in aridity and in the frequency of extreme events in many areas of the earth (Schar, 2006), maintaining crop yields under ...

Real‐time monitoring of root dielectric properties for assessing crop plant damage caused by foliar application of glyphosate

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise There is a knowledge gap regarding how foliar injury and restricted water uptake can be detected by measuring root dielectric response. This pot study nondestructively evaluated the efficiency of real‐time dielectric measurement to monitor the effects of glyphosate spraying.
