Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Silicon acquisition and accumulation in plant and its significance for agriculture

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2018
Although silicon (Si) is ubiquitous in soil and plant, evidence is still lacking that Si is essential for higher plants. However, it has been well documented that Si is beneficial for healthy growth of many plant species.

Strigolactones suppress adventitious rooting in Arabidopsis and pea [PDF]

, 2012
Adventitious root formation is essential for the propagation of many commercially important plant species and involves the formation of roots from nonroot tissues such as stems or leaves.

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Metabolite changes in cucumber xylem sap under rhizosphere aeration

Horticultural Science
The impact of rhizosphere aeration on the composition of xylem sap in cucumber grown in soil was studied to determine its effects on (i) water and nutrient uptake, (ii) xylem transport, and (iii) amino acid synthesis in the roots.

Modelling the effects of osmotic stress on tomato fruit development [PDF]

, 2017
Whereas most high-tech tomato greenhouses focus primarily on high production yields, consumers prefer a higher quality product. Dry matter content is one of the key factors determining fruit quality, and is known to be substantially influenced by ...

Comprehensive DIA‐MS Proteomics of Root Basal Nodes Elucidates Mechanisms of Salt Tolerance in Rice

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinity severely affects rice growth, yield, and quality, posing a global food security challenge. Rice is particularly vulnerable to high salinity, which restricts growth and tolerance to other stresses. To address this, breeding efforts have been made in the past, leading to the generation of multi‐stress‐tolerant rice lines.

Mutually reinforcing and transpiration-dependent propagation of H2O2 and variation potential in plants revealed by fiber organic electrochemical transistors

The Innovation
Plants use hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and variation potential (VP) waves as well as chemical transport by transpiration-driven xylem flow to facilitate cell signaling, cell-to-cell communication, and adaptation to environmental stresses.

Colonisation potential of the bark beetle (Taphrorychus bicolor) on beech logs and logging residues: ecological context and implications for pest management in forests

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Beech residues left in shaded or semi‐shaded conditions pose a substantial risk of local Taphrorychus bicolor population outbreaks. The rapid removal or placement of residues in sun‐exposed locations can help mitigate this risk. Abstract BACKGROUND The bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor has been traditionally classified as a secondary pest of European ...

Shear-Enhanced Dispersion of a Wound Substance as a Candidate Mechanism for Variation Potential Transmission

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
A variation potential (VP) is an electrical signal unique to plants that occurs in response to wounding or flaming. The propagation mechanism itself, however, is known not to be electrical.
