Nickel (Ni) is a trace element beneficial for plant growth and development could improve crop yield by stimulating urea decomposition nitrogen-fixing enzyme activity. A full life cycle study was conducted to compare the long-term effects of soil-applied NiO nanoparticles (n-NiO), bulk (b-NiO), NiSO4 at 10–200 mg kg–1 on nutritional content soybean. n-NiO 50 significantly promoted seed 39%. Only total fatty acid starch 28 19%, respectively. The increased nutrition be attributed regulatory n-NiO, including photosynthesis, mineral homeostasis, phytohormone, nitrogen metabolism. Furthermore, maintained Ni2+ supply more extended periods than NiSO4, reducing potential phytotoxicity concerns. Single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (sp-ICP-MS) first time confirmed that majority Ni in seeds ionic form, with only 28–34% as n-NiO. These findings deepen our understanding nanoscale non-nanoscale accumulate translocate soybean, well fate these materials agricultural soils strategy nanoenabled agriculture.

Antioxidant Agriculture for Stress-Resilient Crop Production: Field Practice

Antioxidants, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(2), С. 164 - 164

Опубликована: Янв. 27, 2024

Oxidative stress, resulting from the excessive production of reactive oxygen species, is a common and major cause cellular damage in plants exposed to various abiotic stresses. To address this challenge, we introduce concept antioxidant agriculture as comprehensive strategy improve stress tolerance thus crop productivity by minimizing oxidative levels field environment. This encompasses diverse range approaches, including genetic engineering, exogenous application agents, microbial inoculation, agronomic practices, reinforce plant’s intrinsic defense system mitigate stress. We present recent successful studies measures that have been validated conditions, along with our perspective on achieving agriculture.

Cd ions are absorbed and transported from the soil by crop roots, which first organ to be exposed Cd. This results in an increase cadmium crops, significantly affecting growth yield. Exogenous melatonin (MT) can help reduce (Cd) stress cotton, but specific contribution of roots this process remains unclear. In order address knowledge gap, in-situ root phenotyping study was conducted investigate phenotype lifespan under treatment (Cd + MT). The showed that MT alleviated decreases plant height, leaf area, SPAD value, stem diameter, stomatal conductance net photosynthetic rate stress, further promoted biomass accumulation various cotton organs. What is more, increased volume, surface length 25.63 %, 10.58 21.89 respectively, compared with treatment. Interestingly, treatment, also extended hairs 6.68 days 2.18 days, respectively. addition, reduced transport shoots, particularly bolls, decreased bioconcentration factor bolls 61.17 conclusion, these findings show applying externally helps delaying senescence, promoting development regulating transport. method effective approach managing cotton.

CRISPR/Cas genome editing for cotton precision breeding: mechanisms, advances, and prospects

Journal of Cotton Research, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 8(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 3, 2025

Abstract Cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) is one of the most important global crops that supports textile industry and provides a living for millions farmers. The constantly increasing demand needs significant rise in cotton production. Genome editing technology, specifically with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) tools, has opened new possibilities trait development cotton. It allows precise efficient manipulation within genome when compared other genetic engineering tools. Current developments CRISPR/Cas including prime editing, base multiplexing have expanded scope traits breeding can be targeted. been employed to generate effectively CRISPRized plants enhanced agronomic traits, fiber yield quality, oil improvement, stress resistance, nutrition. Here we summarized various target genes which successfully altered However, some challenges remain, tetraploid having redundant gene sets homologs making editing. To ensure specificity avoiding off-target effects, need optimize parameters such as site, guide RNA design, choosing right Cas variants. We outline future prospects breeding, suggesting areas further research innovation. A combination speed might useful fastening potentials create customized cultivars meet higher demands agriculture industry.

Organic agriculture (OA) is a continuously growing global concept that emphasizes the use of sustainable and environmentally-friendly practices. By adopting OA, it possible to improve ecosystems services, increase biodiversity, decrease environmental pollution, reduce carbon footprints mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, generating food free from harmful residues agrochemicals, thereby enhancing safety security. This study provides comprehensive review latest insights on utilization land resources in focusing particularly some EU countries experienced notable rapid progress organic farming during past two decades. With negligible 1.6% (75 Mha) cropland currently dedicated there ample opportunity expand adoption OA realize its multi-beneficial potential for farmers (by premium prices), consumers healthier nutritious food). The importance has been recognized by most recent agro-environmental policies green strategies, with an ambitious goal have at least 25% agroecosystems under management 2030. Despite numerous financial supports multifold area, many member states are unlikely achieve this goal, including Croatia, which share only 8% (~109,000 ha) lands OA.
