Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Prospects of Cropping with Polysaccharides Producing Microbes Under Drought Stress

Research in Agricultural Sciences
Drought and water stress are the major abiotic stresses that limit plant growth. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, well known for their growth-promoting attributes, produce extracellular polysaccharides that form rhizosheaths around the roots ...

Linking rhizosphere bacterial succession to metabolite dynamics unravels the underlying survival strategies of desert ephemeral plants

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Desert ephemerals complete rapid life cycles to survive aridity, yet the ontogenetic coordination of below‐ground rhizosphere interactions with above‐ground resource allocation remains unclear.

The Effect of Specific Soil Microorganisms on Soil Quality Parameters and Organic Matter Content for Cereal Production

Plants, 2021
Soil chemical, biological and physical properties play important roles in soil quality and are related with increasing organic matter content, soil microbiological activity, plant nutrient content and availability.

Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.

Coniferyl aldehyde from the phenylpropanoid pathway targets pyruvate kinase in Dactylobotrys graminicola to confer sheath rot resistance in hulless barley

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

Melatonin seed priming: A climate‐smart, green strategy to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes how melatonin seed priming preconditions seeds to enhance tolerance against diverse abiotic stresses. It highlights the underlying mechanisms and proposes an integrative roadmap of advanced molecular and breeding tools to design next‐generation, stress‐smart plants.

Auxin response and PIN‐mediated transport in chlorophyte algae

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Like multicellular plants, green algae respond to auxin and move it across their cells. However, their PIN‐like proteins do not act like plant auxin exporters, suggesting that basic auxin transport evolved early and specialized directional transport appeared later in plant evolution.

The Role of Secretion Systems, Effectors, and Secondary Metabolites of Beneficial Rhizobacteria in Interactions With Plants and Microbes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Beneficial rhizobacteria dwell in plant roots and promote plant growth, development, and resistance to various stress types. In recent years there have been large-scale efforts to culture root-associated bacteria and sequence their genomes to uncover ...
