crop losses,   etc   ; Oryza sativa; ecotypes; environment; evolution; rice; submergence;     Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... During the course of evolution, different ecotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) have evolved distinct strategies to cope with submergence stress. Such contrasting responses are mediated by plant hormones that are principle regulators of growth, development and responses to various biotic and abiotic stresses. These hormones act cooperatively and show extensive crosstalk which is mediated by key regul ...

Abstract:
... Every year, despite the use of chemicals, significant crop loss is caused by pathogenic microbes. Plant innate resistance to pathogens depends on two sets of genetically encoded immune receptors that sense invaders and trigger signaling cascades leading to reinforcement of physical barriers and production of various antimicrobial compounds. In the past 30 years, the molecular cloning and character ...

Abstract:
... The monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) has been introduced in the last decades to many cities in many parts of the world. For most of this time it has been restricted primarily to urban areas, but it is starting to spread to rural habitats. In its native range, the monk parakeet is considered a pest for agriculture, consuming a wide variety of crops such as grains, fruits, and vegetables. However ...

Abstract:
... The use of improved technologies has been encouraged to improve irrigation on farms, especially in drought‐prone areas. However, farmers' irrigation decisions may be rather motivated by a desire to reduce risk of crop loss than to reduce water use. Using the case of Jordan, we contribute to the water‐saving debate by examining whether current irrigation frequency is influenced by past experiences ...
