Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

OPT3 is a component of the iron-signaling network between leaves and roots and misregulation of OPT3 leads to an over-accumulation of cadmium in seeds. [PDF]

, 2014
Plants and seeds are the main dietary sources of zinc, iron, manganese, and copper, but are also the main entry point for toxic elements such as cadmium into the food chain. We report here that an Arabidopsis oligopeptide transporter mutant, opt3-2, over-

Optimization of a reactor for biostimulant production with emphasis on the economic aspects of hydrolysis

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Biostimulants are increasingly used in agriculture to promote plant growth, improve stress tolerance, and support sustainable farming practices. One common method of production is chemical hydrolysis of protein‐rich waste, such as tannery by‐products, offering an economical and eco‐friendly alternative to conventional raw materials.

Integration of fertility management, cultivar selection and alternative spray treatments to optimize control of foliar diseases of greenhouse grown tomatoes [PDF]

, 2007
Powdery mildew caused by Leveillula taurica (Lev.) Arn. is one of the most serious foliar diseases of greenhouse and open field tomato. The disease is currently controlled with the use of organic fungicides and sulphur, the latter being the only product ...

Functionally complementary bacterial inoculant coordinates arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve Angelica sinensis root yield and quality

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Comprehensive understanding of how diverse PGPR strains enhance the rhizosphere microenvironment remains a considerable challenge. Here, we provide experimental evidence that a functionally synergistic composite microbial formulation can markedly enhance growth performance and improve the quality attributes in Angelica sinensis.

Effect of deficit irrigation and methyl jasmonate application on the composition of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) fruit and leaves [PDF]

, 2016
Drought stress is among the most severe environmental risks threatening strawberry production. In the present study, the effect of deficit irrigation (DI; 50 mL/day) and/or elicitation with methyl jasmonate (MeJA; 0.1 mM) on the composition of secondary ...

Response of Hot Pepper Plants (Capsicum frutescens L.) to Compost and some Foliar Application Treatments

Journal of Soil Sciences and Agricultural Engineering, 2020
There is a general trend of using natural plant extracts and bio substances with organic fertilizers for improving plant growth. So, our study aims to investigate the influence of plant compost (plant residues) and foliar spraying with some stimulants on enhancing growth performance, chlorophyll content, fruit yield and quality of hot pepper plants ...

Drought Risk in Mango and Avocado Orchards: Insights Into Plant Water Relations and Irrigation‐Related Agronomic Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Studying some morphological responses of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) to some elicitors under water deficiency

Caryologia, 2023
This research evaluated the effect of foliar spraying of different elicitors on modulating the effect of water stress on the stevia. The experimental design was the split-plot based on a randomized complete block design with three repetitions ...

RESPONSE OF SWEET PEPPER PLANTS (VEGETATIVE GROWTH AND LEAF CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS) TO ORGANIC, BIOFERTILIZERS AND SOME FOLIAR APPLICATION TREATMENTS. [PDF]

Journal of Plant Production, 2012
This investigation was conducted in the two successive summer seasons of 2010 and 2011 on sweet pepper plants "Madir" hybride at a private farm at Sahragt El-Soghra near Mansoura, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt to study the effect of two sources of organic fertilizers (chicken manure and compost), biofertilizers (a mixture of Azotobacter chroococcum and ...
