Enhancing photosynthesis is considered one of the most rational strategies to increase crop yield. However, dominant physiological driving processes at different maize growth stages under long-term fertilization remain unclear. Based on a 45-years field experiment, four treatments were selected—namely, CK (no fertilizers), N (276 kg ha−1), M (60,000 manure and MN + 276 ha−1)—to study response characteristics fertilization. The results showed that significantly changed photosynthetic endogenous hormones content. Among them, increased rate (Pn) by 41.9–152.3% compared CK. Organic fertilizer addition (M MN) superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), soluble sugar (SS) 26.7–64.3%, 42.5–155.4%, 16.4–89.5%, respectively. proline (Pro) malondialdehyde (MDA) content decreased 19.1–44.3% 0.6-21.3%, Under these treatments, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellins (GA), salicylic (SA), zeatin riboside (ZR), abscisic (ABA), SS, SOD, POD main indicators photosynthesis. result PLS-SEM indicated pathways “IAA or ZR SA-SOD-POD-Pn” “GA ABA-SOD POD-SS-Pn”.

Crops around the world are facing a diversity of environmental problems, which high temperatures proving to be most serious threat crops. Polyamine putrescine (Put) acts as master growth regulator that contributes optimal plant and development increased stress tolerance. Here, current study aimed elucidate how Put functions in regulating chlorophyll (Chl) metabolism, oxidative stress, antioxidant defense, well characterize expression genes related heat tomato seedlings under such stress. The results revealed treatment significantly attenuates heat-induced damage by promoting biomass production, increasing photosynthetic efficiency, inhibiting excessive production markers. Heat markedly decreased Chl content leaf accelerated yellowing process. However, Put-treated showed higher content, could associated with elevating PBGD activity (Chl biosynthesis enzyme) suppressing catabolic enzyme (Chlase MDCase). Under high-temperature levels gene encoding factors involved catabolism were down- upregulated, respectively, this trend was reversed heat-stressed seedlings. In addition, exogenous application boosted enzymes, along their genes, only plants stressed. Furthermore, heat-shock-related (HSP90, HSP70, HsfA1) elevated Put-treated, high-temperature-stressed Taken together, our indicate increases tolerance seedlings, concentrations activity, modulating endogenous free PA defense upregulating genes.

Straw incorporation serves as an effective strategy to enhance soil fertility and microbial biomass carbon (SMBC), which in turn improves maize yield agricultural sustainability. However, our understanding of nitrogen (N) fertilization straw into microenvironment is still evolving. This study explored the impact six N rates (N0, N100, N150, N200, N250, N300) with without on fertility, SMBC, enzyme activities, yield. Results showed that both management significantly affected organic (SOC), total N, Specifically, N250 treatment combined increased SOC, SMBC compared lower rates. Additionally, activities such urease, cellulase, sucrose, catalase, acid phosphatase reached their peak during V6 growth stage N200 under for conditions. Compared N300 treatments traditional planting, residue by 8.30 4.22%, respectively. All measured parameters, except cellulase activity, were higher spring than autumn across years, notable increases observed 2021. These findings suggest optimal levels (STN), along crucial sustaining enhancing grain treatments.
