Impacts of elevated atmospheric CO₂ on nutrient content of important food crops. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
One of the many ways that climate change may affect human health is by altering the nutrient content of food crops. However, previous attempts to study the effects of increased atmospheric CO2 on crop nutrition have been limited by small sample sizes and/

Global analysis of the sugarcane microtranscriptome reveals a unique composition of small RNAs associated with axillary bud outgrowth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Axillary bud outgrowth determines shoot architecture and is under the control of endogenous hormones and a fine-tuned gene-expression network, which probably includes small RNAs (sRNAs).

A B3 Domain Transcription Factor NtMAB1 Regulates the Release and Outgrowth of Axillary Buds in Tobacco

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The release and outgrowth of axillary buds are essential parts of the process of shoot branching in plants, but knowledge of the underlying regulatory mechanisms remains limited. Analysis of mab1‐D, a tobacco mutant with a greater number of axillary branches, showed that the mutant phenotype resulted from positive modulation of axillary buds ...

Identification of QTLs for Physiological and Agro‐Morphological Traits Associated With Water‐Saving Capacity in Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench)

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sorghum is a major cereal crop that plays an important role in food security for millions of people in arid and semi‐arid regions, but its production is threatened by drought. Therefore, understanding the genetic basis of transpiration rate during the early development stage is a key step towards improving sorghum production.

In Silico Characterization of DREB and AP2/ERF Domain-Containing Transcription Factors in the important Crop Plants and Their Role in Drought Tolerance in Plants [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry
Background, the context and purpose of the study: Climate change is having a significant impact on crop plants around the world. As temperatures rise, some crops are becoming more difficult to grow in certain regions and are being replaced by other crops

Assessing the impact of wastewater irrigation on cobalt cadmium and lead contents of grains of Sorghum bicolor

open access: yesArchives of Pharmaceutical Sciences Ain Shams University, 2019
The impact of waste irrigation on the concentrations of the metals Cd, Co and Ni contents in grains of Sorghum bicolor was investigated through analyzing (for three seasons 2008-2010s) four different-irrigation sorghum grains samples grown on four ...

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis Enables Efficient Phosphorus Uptake in Sorghum Accessions With Contrasting Root Traits

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P), an essential nutrient, is apparently unavailable to plants due to strong sorption in soils. Plants with shallow root systems and high surface area exhibit high P acquisition efficiency (PAE). Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) symbiosis can also enhance PAE.
