... NAC transcription factors play critical roles in regulating drought stress. However, the drought-responsive NAC transcription factors are largely unexplored in wheat. In this study, we isolated a NAC gene, TaNAC5D-2, and characterized the function of TaNAC5D-2 as a positive regulator of drought tolerance. The expression level of TaNAC5D-2 was induced under drought or abscisic acid treatment. Trans ...

Abstract:
... The use of chemical fertilizers is among the main innovations brought by the 1960s Green Revolution. In Ethiopia, fertilizer application during the last four decades has led to significant yield gains, yet yield remains below its potential across much of the country. One of the main challenges responsible for low yield response to fertilizer application has been the use of ‘blanket’ recommendation ...
... KEY MESSAGE: Assessing adaptation to abiotic stresses such as high temperature conditions across multiple environments presents opportunities for breeders to target selection for broad adaptation and specific adaptation. Adaptation of wheat to heat stress is an important component of adaptation in variable climates such as the cereal producing areas of Australia. However, in variable climates stre ...
... The occurrence of contaminants such as heavy metals in an aqueous environment has become a global concern. In the present study, a bio-filter was designed to eliminate heavy metals from river wastewater contaminated with industrial effluents. Moreover, we analyzed simple tap water, bio-filtered water, and unfiltered river wastewater and measured the concentrations of different heavy metals in the ...
... The wheat Green Revolution Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b dwarfing alleles are associated with increased grain yields but also with reduced early growth and seedling emergence, especially if sowing conditions are unfavourable. The gibberellic acid-responsive, mutagen-derived Rht18 dwarfing gene was backcrossed from durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum L.) cv. Icaro into tall bread wheat (Triticum aest ...
... This study aimed to investigate oxidative stress and antioxidant response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Back Cross Rushan) after treatment with different zinc (Zn) concentrations i.e., 0.1 (control), 10, 100 and 300 µM Zn in the form of Zn-sulfate and nanoparticles of waste tire rubber ash (RA NPs) and zinc oxide (ZnO NPs). Both zinc deficiency and excess conditions caused significant increa ...

Abstract:
... Zinc (Zn) is a vital nutrient element required for plants normal growth and development. It performs imperative functions in numerous metabolic pathways in the plants. However, potentially noxious levels of Zn in terrestrial environment can lead to inhibited photosynthesis, growth, respiratory rate and imbalanced mineral nutrition. In micronutrient malnutrition, Zn deficiency is a global human hea ...
... A 4 years field study was conducted to improve nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) use efficiencies in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and precision N management. Split plot design was employed to rationalize N and P fertilizer use in two different experiments with AMF in the main plot and fertilizer application practice in the subplots. The AMF seed coating impro ...
... Weeds, unwanted plants, are responsible for significant yield and economic loss in agroecosystems and pose a serious threat to the ecology and efficiency of these ecosystems. Despite these losses, not much is known about the weeds associated with crops grown in Kashmir Himalaya. Here, we present a complete inventory of weeds associated with rabi crops, such as mustard (Brassica campestris), wheat ...
... Land‐use systems (LUSs) in the agriculture urgently need to be revised to reduce greenhouse gases emissions (GHGs), and promote long‐term sustainability. This study aimed to estimate the highest amount of CO₂ sequestration, carbon (C) stocks, and credit potential to mitigate climate change, and importantly identify a more sustainable LUS for income security, which can be easily adopted by farmers. ...
... PURPOSE: Iron (Fe) deficiency seriously affects crop growth and yield. This study investigated whether and how an endophytic isolate, strain Bacillus sp. WR12, alleviates Fe deficiency in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). METHODS: Bacillus sp. WR12 and wheat seedlings were hydroponically co-cultured for 2 weeks under Fe-deficient conditions. To evaluate the Fe deficiency alleviating potential, wheat g ...
... The phyllosphere microbiome plays an important role in plant fitness. Recently, bacteriophages have been shown to play a role in shaping the bacterial community composition of the phyllosphere. However, no studies on the diversity and abundance of phyllosphere bacteriophage communities have been carried out until now. In this study, we extracted, sequenced, and characterized the dsDNA and ssDNA vi ...
... There are a substantial number of studies on the biofertilization effects of cyanobacteria in rice paddy fields, mainly attributed to biological fixation of N₂, but not much attention has been given to their fertilizing capacity in aerobic soils. Few studies have used solid media (i.e. a soil) when testing the plant-growth-promoting effects of microalgae on plants, and particularly on wheat. The p ...
... Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) is competent in inducing physiological responses in plants for combating the abiotic stresses. Considering this, salt stress is one of the most alarming conditions that exerts complex and polygenic impacts on morph-physiological functioning of plants; resulting in reduced crop productivity and yield. Therefore, understanding the salt responses and tolerance m ...
... In this study, the effect of plant based smoke solutions on yield and forage quality of hydroponic barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was investigated. Two smoke solutions were prepared by burning the harvest residues of oats (Avena sativa L.) and grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.). Wheat and barley grains were primed with five concentrations (0, 1, 5, 10,15%) of the smoke s ...
... The Fusarium crown and root rot pathogen Fusarium culmorum (Fc) is a hemibiotrophic pathogen, with a short biotrophic phase preceding necrotrophic life-style. In this study, for the first time, a comparative proteomic analysis was made in seedling roots of two wheat cultivars Falat (susceptible) and Sumai3 (resistant) subjected to Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) at 2 days post Fc-inoculation (2 dpi) to un ...
... In the subtropical grain region of eastern Australia, two experiments were conducted, one initially with 2490 P. thornei/kg soil, the other with 8150 P. thornei/kg soil at 0–0.9 m soil depth. We determined the effect of P. thornei, residual from a weed-free fallow and pre-cropping with several cultivars each of barley (Hordeum vulgare), faba bean (Vicia faba), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), and wheat ...
... This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of tomato biochar (TB) produced at 500 °C pyrolysis temperature and two holding times (TB20 and TB80) on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seed germination and growth attributes under salinity stress (S) and non-saline conditions (NOS). TB20 and TB80 were mixed at the rates of 0.5%, 1%, and 2% (w/w) with clay soil for S and NOS and wheat plant seed wer ...
