Root efficiency and water use regulation relating to rooting depth of winter wheat

Haotian Li et al.

Summary: This study found that deep roots can increase soil water availability, regulate the timing of soil water use, and improve crop yield and water productivity. Deep root systems can also enhance leaf photosynthesis and prolong the duration of the greening period, resulting in higher crop yield and water productivity during the reproductive stage. An increase in the root:shoot ratio can increase yield, but excessively high root:shoot ratios can lead to a decrease in grain production per unit. Increasing rooting depth is an effective regulatory measure to increase soil water availability and optimize water consumption allocation, resulting in higher crop yield and water productivity.

Effect of drought stress on flowering characteristics in rice (Oryza sativa L.): a study using genotypes contrasting in drought tolerance and flower opening time

Tsutomu Ishimaru et al.

Summary: This study investigated the flowering characteristics of rice genotypes with different levels of drought tolerance and flower opening time. It found that genotypes with early-morning flowering showed a stable earlier flower opening time and could alleviate heat stress under drought conditions. However, these genotypes did not exhibit drought avoidance. Additionally, the study suggested that introducing the early-morning flowering trait into drought-tolerant lines could enhance the resilience of rice spikelets to the combined stresses of heat and drought at flowering.

The potential of resilient carbon dynamics for stabilizing crop reproductive development and productivity during heat stress

John N. Ferguson et al.

Summary: Heat stress affects crop productivity through impaired carbon metabolism and reproductive development. Understanding the integration of these processes and their contribution to yield maintenance is crucial for developing climate-resilient crops. Recent studies on source-sink dynamics, non-foliar photosynthesis, and net carbon gain provide key insights into improving reproductive development and crop productivity under heat stress.

Induction of Acquired Tolerance Through Gradual Progression of Drought Is the Key for Maintenance of Spikelet Fertility and Yield in Rice Under Semi-irrigated Aerobic Conditions

V. S. Lekshmy et al.

Summary: Plants have evolved various adaptive mechanisms to cope with water-limited conditions, with acquired tolerance traits playing a significant role in drought adaptation. A study of genetic variability in acquired tolerance traits among rice germplasm accessions using a gradual stress progress protocol highlights the importance of these protective mechanisms in maintaining high spikelet fertility and yield under stress.

Heteromeric HSFA2/HSFA3 complexes drive transcriptional memory after heat stress in Arabidopsis

Thomas Friedrich et al.

Summary: Moderate heat stress primes plants to acquire tolerance to subsequent, more severe heat stress. Here the authors show that the HSFA3 transcription factor forms a heteromeric complex with HSFA2 to sustain activated transcription of genes required for acquired thermotolerance by promoting H3K4 hyper-methylation.

Response of spikelet water status to high temperature and its relationship with heat tolerance in rice

Wencheng Wang et al.

Summary: The study revealed that water status of spikelets plays a crucial role in spikelet fertility of rice under high-temperature stress, which can reduce anther dehiscence and pollen fertility. High temperature increased spikelet transpiration rate and decreased internal spikelet temperature, affecting water status and aquaporin gene expression.

Evaluation of root traits and water use efficiency of different cotton genotypes in the presence or absence of a soil-hardpan

Ricardo St Aime et al.

Summary: This study evaluated root traits and water use efficiency in ten selected cotton genotypes, identifying PHY 499WRF as the top performer and NG 500762XF as the lowest performer. All genotypes showed improved root traits and water use efficiency under hardpan conditions.
