Brassinosteroid seed priming positively affects leaf anatomy and gas exchanges in a salt-sensitive sorghum genotype exposed to salt stress

Plant Stress
Soil salinity is threatening the cultivation of major cereal crops worldwide. Sorghum is a promising alternative to other cereals for both human and animal nutrition. This is due to the nutritional characteristics of its caryopses and its natural ability

Salinity tolerance in the halophyte species Cakile maritima from the Apulia region, southern Italy [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionCakile maritima is a succulent halophyte from the Brassicaceae family, commonly found along sandy coasts. Understanding its response mechanisms to sodium excess is crucial for its exploitation under sustainable biosaline farming.MethodsFor ...

Leaf gas exchange and δ13C in cowpea and triticale under water stress and well-watered conditions

Heliyon, 2021
Leaf gas exchanges play a critical role in determining crop productivity as they control both CO2 gain and water loss. CO2 gain and water loss influence water use efficiency (WUE) and carbon isotope composition (δ13C).

Growth of Vernonia ferruginea Seedlings Submitted to Thermal Stress [PDF]

Planta Daninha, 2020
: Stress caused by extreme temperatures is one of the main elements that limit the geographical distribution and the seasonal growth of several plants, causing a severe delay in their development, reducing the photosynthetic rate and signaling the ...

The Impact of Phloem Feeding Insects on Leaf Ecophysiology Varies With Leaf Age

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Herbivore insects have strong impacts on leaf gas exchange when feeding on the plant. Leaf age also drives leaf gas exchanges but the interaction of leaf age and phloem herbivory has been largely underexplored. We investigated the amplitude and direction

Leaf gas exchanges and production of kale under Ca(NO3)2 concentrations in salinized nutrient solution

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2022
Adequate mineral supplementation can be a strategy to enable the use of brackish water in the production of vegetables. This study intended to evaluate the effect of calcium nitrate concentrations on leaf gas exchanges and yield of kale (Brassica ...

A reporting format for leaf-level gas exchange data and metadata [PDF]

Ecological Informatics, 2021
Leaf-level gas exchange data support the mechanistic understanding of plant fluxes of carbon and water. These fluxes inform our understanding of ecosystem function, are an important constraint on parameterization of terrestrial biosphere models, are necessary to understand the response of plants to global environmental change, and are integral to ...

Effects of stomata clustering on leaf gas exchange [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2015
Summary A general theoretical framework for quantifying the stomatal clustering effects on leaf gaseous diffusive conductance was developed and tested. The theory accounts for stomatal spacing and interactions among ‘gaseous concentration shells’. The theory was tested using the unique measurements of Dow et al.

Growth, yield and gas exchanges of ‘D’Angola’ plantain under different plant densities [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2020
Information about production, crop systems and economic viability for technical grown of plantain are scarce in Brazil. Few technologies developed specifically for plantain are available; thus, there are many adaptations of information on banana crops ...
