Changing climates threaten crop growth and fodder yields in dryland farming. This study assessed two radish genotypes (LINE 2, ENDURANCE) under three water regimes (W1 = well-watered, W2 moderate stress, W3 severe stress) leaf harvesting options over seasons (2021/22 2022/23). Key findings revealed that regime significantly (P < 0.05) affected WUE, with yielding (4.71 kg ha-1 mm-1) higher values. The combination of LINE 2 biomass were reduced by ≈ 60.09% 2021/22 71.06% 2022/23, whereas ENDURANCE declined 63.9% 53.33%. Tuber yield was highest W1 W2, 59 t (W1) 48 (W2). Generally, micronutrient concentration (iron, zinc, β-carotene vitamin C). For example, improved E key showed human dietary for women children can be met. exceeded E, iron, zinc recommendations all ages. similar CP W1, indicating stress sustain yields. These highlight the importance strategic management food security, while meeting nutritional needs water-scarce regions.

Ajowan (Trachyspermum ammi) is an important spice in the food industry, as a well medicinal plant with remarkable antioxidant properties. In this study, its essential oil content, chemical composition, flavonoid phenolic and capacity were evaluated under three irrigation regimes (50, 70, 90% field capacity) different amounts of nano silicon (0, 1.5, 3 mM) ten populations ajowan. Based on GC–MS analysis, thymol, carvacrol, p-cymene, γ-terpinene determined main components oil. The thymol content ranged from 34.16% Ardabil population (irrigation at 50% 1.5 to 65.71% Khorbir (without 50%). highest was Khormo without (172.3 mg TAE/g DW), while lowest found Hamedan (7.2 DW)). Irrigation no treatment led increase total flavonoids (46.786 QUE/g DW). activity ajowan using DPPH assay. Accordingly, observed silicon; 4126 µg/mL). Moreover, treatment. Furthermore, correlation principal component analysis (PCA) provide new insights into production their substrates water deficit conditions. Finally, results revealed information how improve desired profile extracts for industrial producers.

Abstract Salinization, as a serious climate change phenomenon, continues to cause critical issues for soils and crops. Abundance of genetic diversity plants could contribute in solving the impacts salinity. However, relations between physiological molecular traits plant species need deep investigation interpretation. Pot experiments were conducted greenhouse investigate difference behavior two amaranth when they beforehand subjected salinity-stress conditions, specifically on some specific characteristics. After 45 days from transplanting, salt stress was induced using 150 mM sodium chloride solution. Treatments arranged randomized complete block design three replications. 0, 2, 6, 10, 24 h, samples collected evaluate data well gene expression. The immediately frozen liquid nitrogen stored -80⁰ C ultralow temperature refrigerators. Findings revealed that red ( Amaranthus cruentus ) more tolerant saline than green hypochondriacus ). Result malondialdehyde (MDA) content increased after 2 h then decreased (after 6 10 h) before rising again h. In amaranth, MDA initially increasing later decreasing zigzag pattern ending an increase There initial steep rise proline which continued still moderately till it stopped. Results also showed gave higher value superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity compared with all tested salinity exposure times. expression four genes assessed through quantitative PCR indicated efficiency SOS1, HKT1, NHX1, DGR2 genes, encode adaptation-related proteins under stress. summary, current work demonstrated be efficient resource improving salt-tolerant genotypes belonging genus.
