Overexpressing OsPYL/RCAR7 Improves Drought Tolerance of Maize Seedlings by Reducing Stomatal Conductance

open access: yesAgriculture, 2022
Drought stress is a serious abiotic factor limiting the quality and yield of maize (Zea mays). To produce maize plants with enhanced drought tolerance, we generated transgenic maize plants overexpressing OsPYL/RCAR7, encoding an abscisic acid receptor ...

Efficiency of Osmotic Dehydration of Pomegranate Seeds in Polyols Solutions Using Response Surface Methodology

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2021
This study investigates the influence of polyol compounds (sorbitol and erythritol) on the osmotic dehydration process of pomegranate seeds. The efficacy of the osmotic dehydration process was estimated based on the determination of water loss, weight ...

Reducing Water Losses in Potable Water Distribution Systems: A Case Study of Kocaeli

open access: yesDoğal Afetler ve Çevre Dergisi, 2021
Water utilities with limited water resources have difficulties arising from high levels of water losses in water supply networks. However, reducing these losses can be possible by monitoring, checking and managing the network correctly. In this study, it

Water Losses

open access: yes, 2023
AbstractThe volume of water losses depends largely on the approach to active leakage control of the water networks. Losses comprise physical losses (leakages on transmission and/or distribution networks, at utility’s storage tanks, and on service connections), commercial losses (unauthorised consumption and metering inaccuracies and data handling ...

Comprehensive Study of Strata Movement Behavior in Mining a Longwall Top Coal Caving Panel of a Composite Coal Seam with Partings

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Strata movement due to extraction of a longwall panel is of great significance both in terms of environment and ground control. Thick coal seam extraction is expected to severely disturb the overburden, which is critical. Most studies use only one or two

Melatonin Mitigates Salt Stress in Wheat Seedlings by Modulating Polyamine Metabolism

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Melatonin, a small molecular weight indoleamine molecule, is involved in various biological processes and responses to environmental cues in plants. However, its function in abiotic stress response and the underlying mechanisms is less clear.

Reduction of chilling injury of ‘Washington’ navel orange fruits by melatonin treatments during cold storage

open access: yesFolia Horticulturae, 2021
Cold storage is used to improve the efficiency of storage and handling of orange fruits, but the fruits are exposed to chilling injury (CI). Antioxidant enzymes are part of the antioxidant defence system against CI of ‘Washington’ oranges during cold ...

Changes induced by multi-stage water stress on maize growth, water and nitrogen utilization and hormone signaling under different nitrogen supplies

open access: yesAgricultural Water Management, 2023
Water availability and nitrogen (N) supply are two major issues that affect plant productivity, however, the processes of water and N utilization and their hormone regulation are not conclusive in response to varying water-N interaction. The objective of
