Effects of subsoiling stage on summer maize water use efficiency and yield in North China Plains

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2019
Aiming at the problems of shallow effective soil layering and low utilization rate of precipitation in the North China Plain. The effects of different subsoiling stages on soil physical properties and water use in winter wheat/summer maize fields were ...

Discrimination of drought tolerance in a worldwide collection of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes based on selection indices

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2021
Improvement of elite safflower genotypes for drought-tolerance is hampered by a deficiency of effective selection criteria. The present study evaluated 100 genotypes of safflower in terms of their drought tolerance over a period of three years (2016–2018)

Identification of drought, heat and combined drought and heat tolerant donors in maize (Zea mays L.) [PDF]

, 2013
Low maize yields and the impacts of climate change on maize production highlight the need to improve yields in eastern and southern Africa. Climate projections suggest higher temperatures within drought-prone areas.

Drought tolerance processes in soybeans

Biologia Plantarum, 1981
Fifteen soybean cultivars were evaluated in two water supply conditions, inducing or not a drought stress. Main canopy traits were measured several times during the reproductive period and, at maturity date, the yield components were estimated. Using principal components analysis, the main physiological functions involved in soybean drought tolerance ...

Drought Stress Results in a Compartment-Specific Restructuring of the Rice Root-Associated Microbiomes. [PDF]

, 2017
Plant roots support complex microbial communities that can influence plant growth, nutrition, and health. While extensive characterizations of the composition and spatial compartmentalization of these communities have been performed in different plant ...

Organic fertilizer and microbial agents increase soil quality and maize yield on coastal saline-alkali land

Soil and Water Research
To evaluate the effects of organic fertilizer and microbial agents on soil water and salt distribution, microorganisms, and crop yield on coastal saline-alkaline land, eight treatments were established, i.e., two maize varieties (Dajing Jiu 26 (J) and ...

Irrigation of previous crops alleviates the negative impact of replacing chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers on foxtail millet yield

Agricultural Water Management
Switching from chemical to organic fertilizers is considered an ideal choice because it can yield numerous benefits for soil health, environmental sustainability, and crop production. However, it is still unclear how to effectively implement and maximize

Conditional and unconditional QTLs mapping of gluten strength in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017
: Dissecting the genetic relationships among gluten-related traits is important for high quality wheat breeding. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) analysis for gluten strength, as measured by sedimentation volume (SV) and gluten index (GI), was performed ...
