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 ...

Evolutionary Origins of Drought Tolerance in Spermatophytes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
It is commonly known that drought stress is a major constraint limiting crop production. Drought stress and associated drought tolerance mechanisms are therefore under intense investigation with the view to future production of drought tolerant crops ...

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 ...

Conventional and molecular breeding strategies for improvement of drought tolerance cultivars in rice: Recent approaches and outlooks

Environment Conservation Journal, 2023
Rice is a vital staple food, especially in Asia, but it is highly susceptible to drought, leading to significant yield losses. To ensure food sustainability, drought-tolerant rice varieties are essential.
