Abstract Salinity is a significant abiotic stress factor that causes considerable damage to many plants through various mechanisms. In this study, the ameliorative effect of putrescine (100, 150, and 200 ppm) on salinity stress (1 g L−1 NaCl) was investigated in strawberry cv. Albion grown in hydroponic culture.

The impact of rainfall and farmers' crop selection under rainfall aberration was assessed using the long‐term historical datasets on rainfall and crop production datasets of Karnataka, a rainfed state of India. A direct link between rainfall and area under different crops was observed, and was not true for many crops since there was a crop shift ...

Developing improved varieties of pigeonpea [PDF]
By 2050 the world population is likely to reach nine billion, with most of the increase in the semi-arid tropics where many of the world’s poor reside. It has been estimated that this will require a 70% increase in food production (Alexandratos and Bruinsma, 2012).

Plant‐based protein crops and their improvement: Current status and future perspectives
Abstract The plant‐based protein industry is rapidly growing and is projected to grow to over $27 billion by 2030. In addition to monetary benefits, plant‐based protein crops, particularly pulse crops (i.e., legume species with dry edible seed), can supplement the existing crop biodiversity and break the disease and insect pest cycle in drastically ...
