Article Abstract

Following a two-factor split plot design, two popular varieties ( Neimai836 and Chuanmail04) were used to study the effects of waterlogging at four growth stages (seedling, jointing, booting and anthesis) on wheat growth and yield formation during two growing seasons (2011-2012 and 2012-2013). The resulted showed that the greatest yield penalty occurred when waterlogging happened at the seedling stage (10% - 15% decrease), and it was alleviated when waterlogging happened at the other stages. Waterlogging during the seedling stage significantly reduced SPAD of 2nd-6th leaves, tillers and spike number per plant, productive ears, dry matter accumulation after flowering and dry matter at maturity. Waterlogging during the jointing stage decreased SPAD of 4th-7th leaves, and waterlogging during the booting stage reduced the SPAD of top 2nd, 3rd, 4th leaves. Waterlogging during the jointing and booting stages reduced the SPAD of flag leaf, the rate of grain filling during the gradual increase stage, the average filling rate and the 1000-grain mass. Waterlogging during the flowering stage produced limited change in yield. Therefore, waterlogging during the seedling stage was identified to have the most critical influence on wheat production under wheat/rice cropping rotations in Sichuan Province.

Droughts are increasing with climate change, affecting the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and limiting their capacity to mitigate rising atmospheric CO levels. However, there is still large uncertainty on the long-term impacts of drought on ecosystem carbon (C) cycling, and how this determines the effect of subsequent droughts. Here, we aimed to quantify how drought legacy affects the response of a heathland ecosystem to a subsequent drought for two life stages of Calluna vulgaris resulting from different mowing regimes.

Elevated acidity from natural and anthropogenic sources can be a significant stressor for plants, affecting essential processes such as nutrient uptake and growth. While low pH (< 4) is generally considered stressful for plants, differential impacts of distinct acid types-organic versus inorganic, strong versus weak-on plant growth and development remain unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we evaluated the responses of two Brassicaceae species to organic (acetic) and inorganic (hydrochloric, sulfuric) acids at three pH levels (pH 2.

Introduction: Rice is mainly consumed by half of the world's population. The imminent climate change and population growth expected in the next 30 years will outpace the current rice production capacity, posing risks to food and nutrition security in developing nations. One simplified approach to address this challenge is to improve photosynthetic capacity by increasing chlorophyll content in leaves and stems.

Identification and Evaluation of Thermotolerance in Broccoli Seedlings Based on a Multi-Trait Phenotyping System.

State Key Laboratory of Vegetable Biobreeding, Institute of Vegetables and Flowers, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing 100081, China.

To establish a systematic approach for evaluating heat tolerance at the seedling stage in broccoli, we investigated 14 representative cultivars cultivated in China. Physiological indicators such as electrical conductivity, malondialdehyde, proline, and chlorophyll content were measured before and after heat stress, alongside phenotypic scoring of heat injury, to characterize the differential thermotolerance among genotypes. The results indicated that significant differences ( < 0.
