Breeding for abiotic stresses for sustainable agriculture.
Using cereal crops as examples, we review the breeding for tolerance to the abiotic stresses of low nitrogen, drought, salinity and aluminium toxicity. All are already important abiotic stress factors that cause large and widespread yield reductions. Drought will increase in importance with climate change, the area of irrigated land that is salinized continues to increase, and the cost of inorg...
متن کاملSunflower Breeding for Resistance to Abiotic and Biotic Stresses
Due to a specific structure of its main organs (root, stem, leaves, and head), sunflower can be successfully grown on marginal soils and in semiarid conditions, and it is more resist‐ ant to abiotic stresses, than other field crops. Unfortunately, it is very sensitive to biotic stresses. In sunflower breeding for resistance to abiotic stresses, the greatest progress has been made in selection f...
متن کاملPlant Biomass Productivity Under Abiotic Stresses in SAT Agriculture
1.1 Prevalence of abiotic stresses in SAT agriculture The semi-arid tropics (SAT) include parts of 48 countries in the developing world: in most of India, locations in south east Asia, a swathe across sub-Saharan Africa, much of southern and eastern Africa, and a few locations in Latin America (Fig 1). Semi-arid tropical regions are characterized by unpredictable weather, long dry seasons, inco...
متن کاملGenetic Engineering and Mutation Breeding for Tolerance to Abiotic and Biotic Stresses: Science, Technology and Safety
Genetic engineering is often presented as a one-step, rapid solution to the improvement of stress tolerance in plants. While it may benefit from but not necessitate, the requirement for backcrossing for gene introgression, it does not reduce the requirement for field trials. The introduction of herbicide and pest resistance into plants has been an applied success and these characteristic singly...
متن کاملIntegrated Pest Management Farmer Field School for Sustainable Agriculture
The study was conducted among the two farmer groups in Bhaktapur and Kavre districts of Nepal. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of IPM FFS on creating awareness and disseminating the knowledge on sustainable pest management to the farmers and to assess the relationships between enhanced IPM knowledge and adoption of IPM strategies by the farmers. The study has be...
