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:
... MAIN CONCLUSION: Rice is attacked by an armada of pathogens. Present review provides a critical evaluation of the potential of different biotic agents used to protect rice yield drop from pathogenicity and an account of unexplored areas, which might be taken into consideration to manage rice diseases. Rice (Oryza sativa L.), is the most important staple food of Asian countries. Rice production is ...

Abstract:
... Crop diseases, pest infestations, water shortages, weed infestations, and other issues affect the agriculture sector. Due to existing agricultural techniques, these issues result in significant crop loss, economic loss, and severe environmental hazards. Because agriculture is such a dynamic industry, robotics cannot solve all of its difficulties; instead, a single solution to a specific complex pr ...
croplosses, etc ; fruits; irrigation scheduling; microirrigation; risk reduction; surveys; water conservation; water shortages; Jordan; Show all 9 Subjects
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 ...
... Plant disease prediction plays a pivotal role to abate the crop loss. For this purpose, early disease prediction models have been explored, where information about leaf wetness duration (LWD) is one of the important factors. The leaf wetness duration is measured with the help of leaf wetness sensors (LWS). Here, the LWS is fabricated on the polyamide flexible substrate where graphene oxide (GO) is ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Despite technical improvements in the citrus chain and leadership in orange production achieved in the past decades, premature fruit drop remains a major component of crop loss in São Paulo state citrus belt, the largest sweet orange production area in the world. The present study aimed to determine, during five consecutive seasons, the impact of the diseases and pests on premature fru ...
... The ubiquitous presence of contaminants like pesticides in the various environmental matrices has become a concern for environmental sustainability and global stability. Pesticides are a distinctive class of environmental contaminants that are specifically introduced into the environment to kill or inhibit pests attacking the different crops. Although pesticide application is beneficial to crop pr ...
... Pesticide treatment dramatically reduces crop loss and enhances agricultural productivity, promoting global food security and economic growth. However, owing to high accrual and persistent tendency, pesticides could create significant ecological consequences when used often. Lately, the perspective has transitioned to implementing biological material, environmentally sustainable, and economical st ...
... An attempt has been made to analyze the temporal and spatial patterns of human-elephant conflict (HEC) and mitigation measures adopted in West Bengal, a thickly populated and agrarian state of India. West Bengal supports only 2% elephant population of India but contributes to the highest human casualties due to HEC. A total of 726 human deaths, 1233 human injuries, 51,542.027 ha areas of crop loss ...

Abstract:
... Drought stress-induced crop loss has been considerably increased in recent years because of global warming and changing rainfall pattern. Natural drought-tolerant plants entail the recruitment of a variety of metabolites and low molecular weight proteins to negate the detrimental effects of drought stress. Dehydrin (DHN) proteins are one such class of proteins that accumulate in plants during drou ...

Abstract:
... Introductory genetics courses are part of the core curriculum in many different majors, including plant breeding, animal science, biology, microbiology, and natural resource management. Concepts involving genes, inheritance, evolution, and genome editing are foundational to both modern biology and agriculture. Understanding these concepts is not only important for training scientists, but also for ...

Abstract:
... Drought is an environmental stress that causes severe crop loss. Drought stress can induce abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation and cytoplasmic calcium oscillation. Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) constitute a group of Ser/Thr protein kinases decoding calcium signals. However, the function and molecular mechanisms of most CPKs in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) remain unknown. Here, we report t ...

Abstract:
... Crop loss caused by toxigenic fungi is a standing problem for many cereals worldwide. In this study, structural and physicochemical changes of maize starch after F. verticillioides infection were evaluated. During the colonization, fungi use starch as the carbon source to provide nutrition for their growth and development resulting in the decline of the starch content of maize kernels. The maize s ...
... Chemical pesticides are still frequently overused to diminish such crop loss caused by biotic stress despite the threat to humans and the environment. Thus, it is urgent to find safer and more effective defense strategies. In this study, we report that caffeine, implanted through a transgenic approach, enhances resistance against variable biotic stresses in rice without fitness cost. Caffeine‐prod ...

Abstract:
... Rain-induced cracking of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) fruit causes substantial economic loss to tree fruit growers annually. Increased fruit surface wetness triggers absorption of water in maturing fruits and leads to fruit cracking. This study was undertaken to develop and evaluate thermal-RGB imagery and in-field weather sensing derived wetness prediction models as tools to help mitigate crack ...

Abstract:
... Climate change is one of the main challenges for actual and future generations. Global warming affects plants and animals and is responsible for considerable crop loss. This study studied the influence of antagonist successive stresses, cold–heat and heat–cold, on two medicinal plants Ocimum basilicum L. and Salvia officinalis L. The photosynthetic parameters decreased for plants under the variati ...
... Genetically‐modified crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins have been widely cultivated, permitting an effective non‐chemical control of major agricultural pests. While their establishment can enable an area‐wide suppression of polyphagous herbivores, no information is available on the impact of Bt crop abandonment in entire landscape matrices. Here, we detail a resurgence of the co ...

Abstract:
... Assessing vulnerability to climate change is very important in mainstreaming climate resilient agricultural development in any country. Though climate change is a global phenomenon, its impacts would be highly location specific. Therefore, assessing regional vulnerability is essential for designing specific interventions to build resilience of communities. This paper focuses on the status of livel ...
