Physiological and molecular implications of multiple abiotic stresses on yield and quality of rice

Beena Radha et al.

Summary: Abiotic stresses have negative effects on rice yield and productivity, especially in the face of changing climate. The combined effect of multiple abiotic stresses worsens these effects. The projected increase in global temperatures, rainfall variability, and salinity will further intensify the frequency and intensity of multiple abiotic stresses. Understanding the molecular and physiological mechanisms behind the reduction in grain quality under these stresses is crucial for developing cultivars that can withstand them. This review summarizes the impact of various stresses on rice physiology, particularly on grain quality parameters and yield traits, and discusses strategies for improving grain quality using high-throughput phenotyping and omics approaches.

Crop residue management challenges, opportunities and way forward for sustainable food-energy security in India: A review

Neeraj Kumar et al.

Summary: Crop residue plays a crucial role in agro-environment services, but the modernization of crop production has led to increased residue and management challenges, particularly in developing countries like India where burning is a common practice. The long-term effects of residue burning and climate change pose serious threats to natural resources and sustainable crop production. This review article provides critical insights on residue production and management, discussing various approaches for sustainable residue utilization and industrial applications. It also explores the prospects of deriving soil ameliorants and energy from crop residues, as well as the challenges and future directions for sustainable residue management.

Instigating prevalent abiotic stress resilience in crop by exogenous application of phytohormones and nutrient

Rinny Swain et al.

Summary: In recent times, the demand for food and feed for the ever-increasing population has made it crucial to prevent crop yield loss. Abiotic stress in plants diverts energy needed for growth, leading to reduced plant yield. The application of phytohormones and nutrients can enhance plant tolerance to abiotic stress and improve metabolic activities.

Transcriptome profiling, physiological, and biochemical analyses provide new insights towards drought stress response in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marshall) saplings

Lungowe Mulozi et al.

Summary: Sugar maple trees are highly vulnerable to drought and this study investigates the physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of sugar maple saplings to drought stress. The study finds that with increasing drought stress time, chlorophyll and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index decrease significantly. Biochemical changes include higher accumulation of malondialdehyde, proline, and peroxidase activity. Transcriptome analysis identifies a total of 14,099 differentially expressed genes, with transcription factors and stress-responsive genes being predominant.

Rajib Roychowdhury et al.

Summary: This study examined bread wheat cultivars under Mediterranean semi-arid conditions and found significant variability in the timing of pre-anthesis phases. The duration of leaf and spikelet initiation, as well as stem elongation, had an impact on spike-related traits and biomass partitioning. The duration of these pre-anthesis phases plays a crucial role in wheat yield enhancement.

Study on the Effect of Salt Stress on Yield and Grain Quality Among Different Rice Varieties

Rui Zhang et al.

Summary: Salt stress significantly decreases rice yield and quality, particularly due to a decrease in panicle number. Low concentrations of salt stress may improve rice quality, and different rice varieties exhibit varying salt tolerance. Salt stress also affects the appearance, taste, and ion uptake capacity of rice.

Boya Venkatesh et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that introducing multiple stress-responsive regulatory transcription factors (TFs) simultaneously in groundnut can enhance its drought stress resistance. The multigene transgenic plants showed improved antioxidative defense mechanisms, better water status, and enhanced growth characteristics under drought stress. This research is of great importance for improving stress tolerance and productivity in crops under drought stress.

Characteristics of Grain Yield, Dry Matter Production and Nitrogen Uptake and Transport of Rice Varieties with Different Grain Protein Content

Qiuyuan Liu et al.

Summary: Grain protein content (GPC) is an important factor affecting rice quality and nutrition, and there are significant differences in GPC among different varieties. This study compared high GPC (H-GPC) and low GPC (L-GPC) japonica rice varieties in terms of grain yield, dry matter production, and nitrogen uptake and transport. The results showed that L-GPC varieties had higher grain yield and dry matter production, but lower nitrogen uptake during the grain-filling period compared to H-GPC varieties. GPC was mainly influenced by the amount of nitrogen available for grain development per unit sink capacity.
