Drought stress is a major limitation in wheat production around the globe. Organic amendments could be possible option semi-arid climatic conditions to mitigate adverse effects of drought at critical growth stages. Wheat straw biochar (BC0 = Control, BC1 3% and BC2 5% biochar) was used alleviate tillering (DTS), flowering (DFS), grain filling (DGFS) significantly reduced yield stages, with DGFS being most susceptible stage, resulting significant loss. Biochar application substantially detrimental by improving plant height (15.74%), fertile tiller count (17.14%), spike length (16.61%), grains per (13.89%), thousand weight (10.4%), biological (13.1%) when compared control treatment. Furthermore, physiological parameters such as water use efficiency (38.41%), stomatal conductance (42.76%), chlorophyll (19.3%), b (22.24%), transpiration rate (39.17%), photosynthetic (24.86%), electrolyte leakage (-42.5%) hydrogen peroxide (-18.03%) superoxide dismutase (24.66%), catalase (24.11%) peroxidase (-13.14%) were also improved application. The principal component analysis linked disparate scales our findings explain changes occurred response under circumstances. In essence, using successful strategy promote reducing hazardous impacts stress.

Increased food production to cater the need of growing population is one major global challenges. Currently, agro-productivity under threat due shrinking arable land, increased anthropogenic activities and changes in climate leading frequent flash floods, prolonged droughts sudden fluctuation temperature. Further, warm climatic conditions increase disease pest incidences, ultimately reducing crop yield. Hence, collaborated efforts are required adopt environmentally safe sustainable agro practices boost growth productivity. Biostimulants appear as a promising means improve plants even stressful conditions. Among various categories biostimulants, microbial biostimulants composed microorganisms such plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and/or microbes which stimulate nutrient uptake, produce secondary metabolites, siderophores, hormones organic acids, participate nitrogen fixation, imparts stress tolerance, enhance quality yield when applied plants. Though numerous studies convincingly elucidate positive effects PGPR-based on plants, yet information meagre regarding mechanism action key signaling pathways (plant hormone modulations, expression pathogenesis-related proteins, antioxidants, osmolytes etc.) triggered by these present review focuses molecular activated PGPR based facing abiotic biotic The also analyses common mechanisms modulated combat stresses. highlights traits that have been modified through transgenic approach physiological responses akin application target

Silicon Nanodots Increase Plant Resistance against Herbivores by Simultaneously Activating Physical and Chemical Defenses

ACS Nano, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 17(3), С. 3107 - 3118

Опубликована: Янв. 27, 2023

Nanosilicon applications have been shown to increase plant defenses against both abiotic and biotic stresses. Silicon quantum nanodots (Si NDs), a form of nanosilicon, possess excellent biological physiochemical properties (e.g., minimal size, high water solubility, stability, biocompatibility), potentially making them more efficient in regulating responses stress than other forms silicon. However, date, we still lack mechanistic evidence for how soil-applied Si NDs alter the regulation physical chemical insect herbivores. To address this gap, compared effect fluorescent amine-functionalized (5 nm) conventional fertilizer sodium silicate on maize (Zea mays L.) oriental armyworm (Mythimna separata, Walker) caterpillars. We found that 50 mg/kg additions inhibited growth caterpillars most (35.7% 22.8%, respectively) as application doses (0, 10, 150 mg/kg). Both addition activated biosynthesis genes responsible (benzoxazinoids) (lignin) defense production. Moreover, upregulated gene expression antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, POD) promoted metabolism (flavonoids) leaves under M. separata attack. Finally, show that, field conditions, ND increased cob weight (28.7%), grain (40.8%), 100-grain (26.5%) control, so silicon fertilizer. Altogether, our findings highlight potential be used an effective ecofriendly crop protection strategy agroecosystems.

In Egypt's arid and semi-arid lands where the main olive production zone is located, evapotranspiration higher than rainfall during winter. Limited research has used nanomaterials, especially nano-silicon (nSi) to improve growth, development, productivity of drought-stressed fruit trees, amid global water scarcity problem. To assess role nSi on drought-sensitive 'Kalamata' tree biochemical physiological changes under drought conditions, a split-plot experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design. The trees were foliar sprayed with field using nine treatments (three replicates each) 0, 150, 200 mg·L-1 different irrigation regimes (100, 90, 80% requirements 'IWR') 2020 2021 seasons. Drought negatively affected but both concentrations alleviated effects at reduced levels, compared non-stressed trees. Foliar spray moderate level (90% IWR) resulted improved yield weight drop percentage, IWR. addition, there levels osmoprotectants such as proline, soluble sugars, abscisic acid (ABA) less membrane damage expressed malondialdehyde (MDA), H2O2 electrolyte leakage 90% These results suggest that severely stressed IWR, which not surprising it classified sensitive. Overall, application beneficial for improvement mechanical resistance, moderately-stressed Egyptian conditions.
