Breeding of comb-wheatgrass (Agropyron pectiniforme Roem. et Schult.) for arid conditions of the steppe zone [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
In the context of the progressive trend of climate aridization of the main agricultural regions in the forest-steppe and steppe zones, the problem of increasing and stabilizing the high productivity of forage crops is becoming more acute.

A global meta-analysis of the effects of plant diversity on biomass partitioning in grasslands

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
The partitioning of belowground biomass (BGB) to aboveground biomass (AGB) is commonly described as the root-to-shoot ratio (R/S). Although a number of studies have shown that biodiversity can influence AGB and BGB in grasslands at the local and global ...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculation and Different Phosphorus Fertilizer Levels Modulate Phosphorus Acquisition and Utilization Efficiency of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in Saline-Alkali Soil

Plants
Phosphorus (P) is a key nutrient limiting crop growth and productivity, particularly in saline-alkali soils with low P availability. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have the potential to enhance P uptake in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.); however, the ...

Environmental regulation of seed germination and emergence in two populations of Cyperus rotundus L. (Cyperaceae), a weed species with industrial potential

BMC Plant Biology
Background Seed germination is pivotal for plant establishment and highly sensitive to environmental conditions. Understanding these processes aids in developing sound agronomic practices for Cyperus rotundus L., a cosmopolitan weed that holds dual ...

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) and transcriptome analysis reveal new candidate genes for leaf size in alfalfa

BMC Plant Biology
Background Leaves are the most important organs of plants and serve as the primary harvest parts in alfalfa production. The size of the leaf area is a crucial factor influencing forage yield and quality.

Multi-omics analysis identifies Rch-miR156 as a regulator of salt tolerance in heterografted Rosa plants

Plant Stress
Rosa chinensis is commonly grafted onto salt-tolerant rootstocks to mitigate salinity stress, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying heterografting-induced adaptations in both the scion and rootstock remain unclear.

GLK1 plays a positive role in regulating plant tolerance to alkali stress and salt-alkali mixed stress

Frontiers in Plant Science
The Golden2-like 1 (GLK1) gene regulates photosynthesis and is associated with drought tolerance and cold tolerance. However, no report has determined the role of GLK1 in alkali tolerance.
