Exploitation of a Grafting Technique for Improving the Water Use Efficiency of Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) Grown in a Cold Greenhouse in Mediterranean Climatic Conditions

Agronomy, 2023
Grafting techniques have been intricately associated with the optimization of water use efficiency (WUE). In this study, various eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) rootstock–scion combinations were compared under three irrigation regimes (IR): 50% deficit ...

Stochastic soil water dynamics of phreatophyte vegetation with dimorphic root systems [PDF]

, 2009
As the direct uptake of deep groundwater by vegetation may be essential in semiarid regions, we incorporated this process in stochastic root zone water balance models.

Dynamics of Deep Water and N Uptake of Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.) Under Varied N and Water Supply

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Enhanced nitrogen (N) and water uptake from deep soil layers may increase resource use efficiency while maintaining yield under stressed conditions. Winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) can develop deep roots and access deep-stored resources such as N

Modelling the Effect of Salt and PEG on Water Uptake in Wheat Seeds

Agronomy, 2021
Water uptake is a seminal process in seed germination. Salt and polyethylene glycol (PEG) are known to retard seed germination rates and percentages, which is often attributed to osmotic effects.
