Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important renewable source of natural textile fiber and one of the most cultivated crops around the world. Plant-parasitic nematode infestations, such as the southern Root-Knot Nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita ...

Effect of the Soil pH on the Alkaloid Content of Lupinus angustifolius
Field studies were conducted in growing seasons 2004, 2005, and 2010 to investigate the effect of different soil pH values on the alkaloid content in seeds of Lupinus angustifolius.

QTL for induced resistance against leaf rust in barley
Leaf rust caused by Puccinia hordei is one of the major diseases of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leading to yield losses up to 60%. Even though, resistance genes Rph1 to Rph28 are known, most of these are already overcome.

Overexpression of beta-carotene hydroxylase enhances stress tolerance in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant stress caused by extreme environmental conditions is already a principal reason for yield reduction in crops. The threat of global environment change makes it increasingly important to generate crop plants that will withstand such conditions ...

Stress-Tolerant Yeasts: Opportunistic Pathogenicity Versus Biocontrol Potential [PDF]
Stress-tolerant fungi that can thrive under various environmental extremes are highly desirable for their application to biological control, as an alternative to chemicals for pest management. However, in fungi, the mechanisms of stress tolerance might also have roles in mammal opportunism.

A Short Review on the Development of Salt Tolerant Cultivars in Rice [PDF]
Rice is staple food for half of the world. With a population of almost 9.6 billion by the year 2050, there is a dire need of developing techniques to improve the crop plants, not only in terms of better yield but also to withstand harsh environmental ...

Transgressivity in Key Functional Traits Rather Than Phenotypic Plasticity Promotes Stress Tolerance in A Hybrid Cordgrass [PDF]
Hybridization might promote offspring fitness via a greater tolerance to environmental stressors due to heterosis and higher levels of phenotypic plasticity.

Delaying chloroplast turnover increases water-deficit stress tolerance through the enhancement of nitrogen assimilation in rice. [PDF]
Abiotic stress-induced senescence in crops is a process particularly affecting the photosynthetic apparatus, decreasing photosynthetic activity and inducing chloroplast degradation.
