Breeding for resistance to insect-transmitted viruses in barley – an emerging challenge due to global warming

open access: yesJournal für Kulturpflanzen, 2009
Due to global warming longer periods of higher temperature in autumn and winter are expected which may result in an increasing importance of insect-transmitted viruses.

Exploring the High Variability of Vegetative Desiccation Tolerance in Pteridophytes

open access: yesPlants, 2022
In the context of plant evolution, pteridophytes, which is comprised of lycophytes and ferns, occupy an intermediate position between bryophytes and seed plants, sharing characteristics with both groups.

In vitro method for early evaluation of nitrogen use efficiency associated traits in potato

open access: yesJournal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2014
The objective of the present study was to characterize various traits associated with nitrogen uptake and utilization in a range of potato cultivars. For this purpose an in vitro test system was developed which allows analyzing specific stress responses ...

The Past, Present, and Future of Wheat Dwarf Virus Management—A Review

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Wheat dwarf disease (WDD) is an important disease of monocotyledonous species, including economically important cereals. The causative pathogen, wheat dwarf virus (WDV), is persistently transmitted mainly by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus and can ...

Salinity Stress Tolerance in Plants

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Soil salinization negatively impacts plant development and induces land degradation, thus affecting biodiversity, water quality, crop production, farmers’ well-being, and the economic situation in the affected region. Plant germination, growth, and productivity are vital processes impaired by salinity stress; thus, it is considered a serious threat to ...

Grass-legume mixtures maintain forage biomass under microbial diversity loss via gathering Pseudomonas in root zone soil

open access: yesmSystems, 2023
As the most common approach for the restoration of degraded grasslands, the use of grass-legume mixtures has long been recognized for its role in increasing aboveground biomass and resisting grassland degradation.

Root-Knot Nematode Resistance in Gossypium hirsutum Determined by a Constitutive Defense-Response Transcriptional Program Avoiding a Fitness Penalty

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
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 ...

Reduction of photosynthetic sensitivity in response to abiotic stress in tomato is mediated by a new generation plant activator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Yield losses as a result of abiotic stress factors present a significant challenge for the future of global food production. While breeding technologies provide potential to combat negative stress-mediated outcomes over time, interventions ...

SuperSAGE : the drought stress-responsive transcriptome of chickpea roots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background Drought is the major constraint to increase yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum). Improving drought tolerance is therefore of outmost importance for breeding. However, the complexity of the trait allowed only marginal progress.

Tolerance to Environmental Stresses

open access: yes, 2021
Salinity imposes constraints on plant growth and development. Efforts have been made to develop salt-tolerant crops by different methods, the outcomes have not yet been sufficiently satisfactory. Plants depend on their symbiotic partners such as fungal symbionts to cope with stress conditions such as salinity. Bittersweet nightshade (Solanum dulcamara)
