Laminaria digitata Extract Improved Leaf Meristem Protection Under Drought and Nitrogen Uptake After Rehydration Through Hormesis-Based Chemical Priming in Lolium perenne. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most damaging stress for plants, impacting crop yield and grassland sustainability. This study aimed to evaluate the biostimulant effect of an algal extract from Laminaria digitata on Lolium perenne cultivated in a growth chamber. Leaves were sprayed at different concentrations 7 days before stopping irrigation.

Estimation of light utilisation and antioxidative protection in an alpine plant species (Soldanella alpina L.) during the leaf life cycle at high elevation. [PDF]
Abstract Photosynthesis, electron transport to carbon assimilation, photorespiration and alternative electron transport, light absorption of the two photosystems, antioxidative protection and pigment contents were investigated in S. alpina leaves. S. alpina is an alpine snow‐bed plant which can be found with green leaves after snowmelt. At least 24% of

Unravelling ecophysiological and molecular adjustments in the photosynthesis-respiration balance during Fusarium graminearum infection in wheat spikes. [PDF]
Abstract Wheat responses to F. graminearum result in a deep and sharp reprogramming of a wide range of biological processes, including energy‐associated functions and related metabolisms. Although these impacts have been thoroughly described at the molecular scale through proteomics and transcriptomics studies, phenotypic studies are still needed to ...

Maternal environmental effects and climate-smart seeds: unlocking epigenetic inheritance for crop innovation in the seed industry. [PDF]
SUMMARY Seed production is facing a three‐fold challenge: ensuring food security, maintaining sustainability, and adapting to climate change. Although most efforts have focused on genetic breeding and crop management, additional levers need to be explored to optimize plant tolerance to the accelerating climate change.

Gypsum endemics accumulate excess nutrients in leaves as a potential constitutive strategy to grow in grazed extreme soils. [PDF]
Abstract Extreme soils often have mineral nutrient imbalances compared to plant nutritional requirements and co‐occur in open areas where grazers thrive. Thus, plants must respond to both constraints, which can affect nutrient concentrations in all plant organs.

Connection matters: exploring the implications of scion–rootstock alignment in grafted grapevines
Abstract Background and Aims Grafting in viticulture has been essential since the advent of the phylloxera crisis at the end of the 19th century, but relatively little is known about the relevance of the quality of the connection at the grafting junction on the behaviour of grafted grapevines.

Le Botrytis est un parasite connu en Europe depuis toujours. Il est devenu actuellement, dans certaines régions viticoles au moins, le parasite le plus redoutable de la vigne. Cependant, l'intensité des attaques peut être très variable suivant les années.
