Potato is a drought susceptible crop and even short drought spells reduce tuber yields notably. In an earlier study we developed a stress severity index (SSI) based on the development stage of a genotype at the onset of drought and the soil water deficit based on soil water tension. Here, we test the suitability of the SSI combined with remotely sensed data as a screening tool to select drought-tolerant

Genotypic stability in root system architecture and aboveground biomass revealed diverse adaptability of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) to moderate water deficit J. Agron. Crop Sci. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2023-08-09 Yangyang Song, Brendan A. Zurweller, Marco D. Goyzueta Altamirano, Barry L. Tillman, Diane L. Rowland
Many crop species, including cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), modify their above- and below-ground growth to cope with water deficit stress. This acclimation to water deficit often triggers a biomass partitioning shift—allocating more biomass to the roots, to increase the accessibility of roots to water resources. However, additional carbon partitioning to roots may not always translate into

Sweet potato production, particularly in coastal areas is often prone to salinity. Salt-tolerant clones will be needed to maintain production, but to date, little is known about salt tolerance traits in sweet potato. Salt stress may result in excessive uptake of unwanted ions into plant tissues leading to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in turn may destroy membranes and reduce

Lodging is an important factor that limits rice yield and the large-scale promotion of direct-seeded rice (DSR). The objective of this study was to clarify the relationship between the characteristics of basal internodes and lodging and the physiological mechanism underlying this process in DSR. A field study was conducted in Changchun, Jilin Province, China, using a japonica rice variety Jiyujing

In-field evaporative protection for dryland wheat and lentil crops using polymers J. Agron. Crop Sci. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2023-05-09 James G. Nuttall, Audrey J. Delahunty, Garry J. O'Leary, Ashley J. Wallace
In semi-arid cropping regions where rainfall is variable, stored soil water is important for reducing the impacts of dry periods; however, in-season evaporation limits yield potential. We tested the productivity benefits of protecting wheat and lentil crops from evaporation using inter-row polymer cover, when grown in southern Australia. For wheat, white polyvinyl chloride (PVCw) increased yield by

Screening of barley germplasm for drought tolerance based on root architecture, agronomic traits and identification of novel allelic variants of HVA1 J. Agron. Crop Sci. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2023-05-06 Manju, Shashank Kumar Yadav, Dhammaprakash Pandhari Wankhede, Ankit Saroha, Sherry Rachel Jacob, Rakesh Pandey, Axma Dutt Sharma, Sheela, Manoj Kumar, Vikender Kaur
Drought is a major constraint for barley production as it is normally cultivated in rainfed and marginal areas lacking optimum productivity. The domestication bottleneck and further selection pressure have resulted in reduced genetic diversity in barley. Genebank germplasm holds a huge potential for identifying new alleles for stress tolerance. In the present study, a diverse set of 214 accessions

Genotypic responses of rice to alternate wetting and drying irrigation in the Mekong Delta J. Agron. Crop Sci. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2023-05-04 Kristian Johnson, Thuong Ti Bach Vo, Duong Van Nha, Folkard Asch
In the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), alternate wetting and drying (AWD) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) production during the dry season has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emission and freshwater use. However, its effect on yield compared with continuously flooded systems can vary. To evaluate the effect of AWD on yield and yield-forming processes on genotypes commonly grown in the VMD, field trials

Plant photosynthetic responses under drought stress: Effects and management J. Agron. Crop Sci. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2023-05-04 Noreen Zahra, Muhammad Bilal Hafeez, Abida Kausar, Maryam Al Zeidi, Sovetgul Asekova, Kadambot H. M. Siddique, Muhammad Farooq
Balanced photosynthesis is essential for improved plant survival and agricultural benefits in terms of biomass and yield. Photosynthesis is the hub of energy metabolism in plants; however, drought stress (DS) strongly perturbs photosynthetic efficiency due to biochemical and diffusive limitations that reduce key photosynthetic components and close stomata. This review describes photosynthetic responses

Separate or combined effects of soil compaction and/or drought on gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and physiological traits of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids J. Agron. Crop Sci. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2023-04-23 Maciej T. Grzesiak, Anna Maksymowicz, Katarzyna Hura, Kinga Dziurka, Agnieszka Ostrowska, Stanisław Grzesiak
In the natural environment, plants are subjected to simultaneous or sequential presence of various abiotic and/or biotic stresses, including soil compaction and soil drought. The effects of these stresses tested separately are relatively well understood, but still little is known about their simultaneous effects on plants. Our research involved four single hybrids of maize differing in their degree

Does the plant growth regulator paclobutrazol enhance root growth of maize exposed to drought stress during flowering? J. Agron. Crop Sci. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2023-04-17 Birgit W. Hütsch, Lukas Kehm, Sven Schubert
Due to climate change, crop production will increasingly be affected by water limitation, causing remarkable decreases in grain yields of cereals. Plant growth regulators such as paclobutrazol (PAC) have been shown to protect plants from detrimental impacts of drought stress, and improvement of root growth and antioxidant activity were identified as main reasons for their positive effect. A container

Saline stress affects the growth of Saccharum complex genotypes J. Agron. Crop Sci. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2023-04-13 Welson Lima Simões, Anderson Ramos de Oliveira, Flávio Dessaune Tardin, Cíntia Patrícia Martins de Oliveira, Lizz Kezzy de Morais, Larissa Pereira Ribeiro Teodoro, Paulo Eduardo Teodoro
Soil salinity affects plant growth, compromising sugarcane cultivation in regions with great production potential. Saccharum complex genotypes that respond positively to growth under saline environment can be used in the diversification of sugarcane cultivars to obtain greater economic returns. The objective of this study was to evaluate growth-related traits of Saccharum genotypes grown under the

Maize (Zea mays L.) responses to heat stress: Mechanisms that disrupt the development and hormone balance of tassels and pollen J. Agron. Crop Sci. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2023-04-12 Jing Sun, Huiqin Wang, Hao Ren, Bin Zhao, Jiwang Zhang, Baizhao Ren, Peng Liu
Global climate changes have led to frequent and recurrent heat stress, which has seriously affected the world maize production. The experiment presented in this paper was carried out during the maize-growing season in 2021 and 2022 at the Huang–Huai–Hai Region Maize Science and Technology Innovation Center (36°09′N, 117°09′E) in Tai'an, Shandong province, China. The test site is located in the semi-humid

Impact of Nax genes for Na+ exclusion from leaves on bread wheat yield on saline soils J. Agron. Crop Sci. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2023-04-10 Richard A. James, Md. Mustafa Khan, Mrinmoy G. Neogi, Alexander B. Zwart, Rana Munns, Md. Rezwan Kabir, Md. Abdullah Yousuf Akhond
Wheat production in many countries is threatened by climate change and rising sea levels causing increases in salt-water intrusion in low-lying coastal areas. Large areas of the coastal zone of Bangladesh remain fallow during the dry season primarily due to salinity. It is estimated that 0.86 million hectares of land currently under fallow in the dry season would be suitable for wheat production using
