Maize (Zea mays L.) responses to heat stress: Mechanisms that disrupt the development and hormone balance of tassels and pollen

Jing Sun et al.

Summary: Global climate changes have negatively impacted the production of maize due to frequent heat stress. This study examined the effects of high temperature on tassel development in two maize varieties and found that heat stress significantly reduced tassel size, anther dehiscence area, and pollen production. It also negatively affected pollen development, leading to deformed pollen and lower viability and germination rate.

Silver lining to a climate crisis in multiple prospects for alleviating crop waterlogging under future climates

Ke Liu et al.

Summary: Extreme weather events pose a threat to food security, especially due to crop waterlogging, but there is a lack of global assessments on its impacts. This study develops a paradigm that identifies common stress patterns caused by waterlogging and uses a farming systems model to understand future changes. The findings suggest that yield penalties caused by waterlogging will increase in the future, but adaptations such as altering sowing time and using waterlogging-tolerant genotypes can help mitigate the losses.

Exogenous phytohormones in the regulation of growth and development of cereals under abiotic stresses

Iryna V. Kosakivska et al.

Summary: Abiotic stresses negatively impact the growth and yield of cereals, leading plants to deploy adaptive strategies where phytohormones play a crucial role. Exogenous phytohormones have the potential to enhance cultivated cereals' tolerance to various abiotic stressors, highlighting the importance of phytohormonal engineering in increasing yields and overcoming losses caused by adverse external factors.

Fertilization time of slow-release fertilizer affects the physicochemical properties of starch from spring-sown waxy maize

Chao Yuan et al.

Summary: It was found in this study that applying slow-release fertilizer at the six-leaf stage in spring-sown waxy maize production can produce starch with high viscosity and low retrogradation tendency. This is mainly achieved by enlarging granule size, increasing crystallinity, and reducing the proportion of long chains in the starch.

Global maize production, consumption and trade: trends and R&D implications

Olaf Erenstein et al.

Summary: Maize has played a significant role in global agri-food systems and its production has been rapidly increasing, making it the leading cereal in terms of volume. Its versatile uses as food, feed, and non-food products make it a globally important crop. The ongoing transformation of agri-food systems in the Global South requires attention to inclusiveness and sustainability, with further investments needed in research and development to enhance the role of maize in food and livelihood security while staying within planetary boundaries.

Exogenous 6-benzyladenine treatment alleviates cold stress in early japonica rice at booting in Northeast China

Shiqiang Wang et al.

Summary: This study found that 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) could alleviate the effects of cold stress on rice growth and yield at the booting stage. 6-BA treatment improved the resistance of rice plants, maintained chlorophyll content and balanced the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and suppressed the accumulation of harmful substances. Furthermore, the effects of 6-BA varied among different rice cultivars.

Exogenous 6-benzylaminopurine enhances waterlogging and shading tolerance after anthesis by improving grain starch accumulation and grain filling

Wenjing Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of exogenous plant growth regulator 6-benzylaminoadenine (6-BA) on photosynthetic performance and yield of wheat under continuous cloudy rainfall. The results showed that spraying 6-BA significantly improved photosynthetic characteristics, grain plumpness, and starch content, prolonged grain filling, and increased yield and thousand-grain weight. The optimal effect was achieved with spraying 25 mg·L-1 of the 6-BA solution.

Differences in starch structure, physicochemical properties and texture characteristics in superior and inferior grains of rice varieties with different amylose contents

Dawei Zhu et al.

Summary: This study compared the starch structure, physicochemical and functional properties, as well as texture characteristics between superior grains (SG) and inferior grains (IG). SG exhibited higher levels of amylose content and larger granule size compared to IG, while IG showed higher short chain content and relative crystallinity. Additionally, SG had higher levels of slowly digestible starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS), indicating better functional properties.
