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.

Expression of the CCCH-tandem zinc finger protein gene OsTZF5 under a stress-inducible promoter mitigates the effect of drought stress on rice grain yield under field conditions [PDF]

, 2020
Increasing drought resistance without sacrificing grain yield remains an ongoing challenge in crop improvement. In this study, we report that Oryza sativa CCCH‐tandem zinc finger protein 5 (OsTZF5) can confer drought resistance and increase grain yield ...

Response of foxtail millet yield, soil chemical property and bacterial community to different green manure-foxtail millet rotation models in North China

Frontiers in Microbiology
China is a largely agricultural country, while the drought climate in northern of China is more and more severe, which influences on the agriculture production seriously. The over-exploitation of groundwater is a critical issue in the low plains of Hebei

Divergent Responses of Bacterial Communities to Permafrost Degradation and Their Associations With Carbon Across Vertical Profiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bacterial α‐diversity decreases, but stochasticity and community stability increase across the 15 m‐depth vertical profiles and along the degraded gradient within the active layer. The abundance and interaction of core taxa mainly control community stability in the active and permafrost layers, respectively.

Effects of tillage practices and rate of nitrogen fertilization on crop yield and soil carbon and nitrogen

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2014
We conducted field experiments since 2006 to determine the effect of tillage practices and rate of nitrogen fertilization on soil properties and crop yield. Four tillage practices and five N rates were used.

Hyperspectral machine-learning model for screening tea germplasm resources with drought tolerance

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Drought tolerance and quality stability are important indicators to evaluate the stress tolerance of tea germplasm resources. The traditional screening method of drought resistant germplasm is mainly to evaluate by detecting physiological and biochemical

Selection of drought-tolerant tef (Eragrostis tef) genotypes using drought tolerance indices

South African Journal of Plant and Soil, 2017
El estrés por sequía es una de las principales limitaciones abióticas que afectan a la producción y productividad de tef (Eragrostis tef). Los recursos genéticos y las metodologías de selección se encuentran entre los requisitos previos para mejorar la eficiencia de la cría para la tolerancia a la sequía. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron determinar

Water‐Efficient Smart Drip Irrigation Enabled by a Low‐Power and High‐Efficiency Flexible Electromagnetic Actuator

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Water scarcity poses a critical threat to global food security. A low‐power, flexible electromagnetic actuator is presented for smart drip irrigation systems. The device achieves precise, wide‐range flow modulation (0.05–5.8 mL/min) in response to real‐time plant demands, reducing water consumption compared to conventional flood irrigation.
