Drought is a major environmental constraint to crop distribution and productivity. Stem water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) buffer wheat grain yield against conditions unfavorable for photosynthesis during the grain filling stage. In this study, 262 winter wheat accessions and 209 genome-wide SSR markers were collected and used to undertake association analysis based on a mixed linear model (MLM)...

Root-associated microbiomes are important for plant nutrient uptake, disease suppression and growth. It is to reveal wheat-root associated microbial community assembly dominant drivers determining their variability. Using 16S rRNA gene profiling, we investigated the effects of sample type, location, growth stage variety on prokaryotic communities in root endosphere rhizosphere wheat bulk soil b...

salinity and flooding are as two very important factors of soil degradation. they often occur together and cancause severe damage to plants. however, plant response to environmental stresses may vary with growth stage atwhich exposure occurs. a pot study was conducted in 2005-2006 in northern aq qala (northern iran) to studycombine effects of waterlogging and soil salinity at different growth s...

Small field plot experiments were carried out at the testing station of Central Control and Testing Institute in Agriculture VeÄžkĂ˝ Meder (Slovakia) experimental years 2014/2015, 2015/2016 2016/2017. Selenium salts form sodium selenite selenate applied growth phases: end tillering (BBCH 29) flag leaf ligule collar visible 39). The effect 2016/2017 on yield wheat grain was not statistically sig...

A field experiment, laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement having four replications, was conducted at the south edge of Loess Plateau, Shaanxi, China to evaluate the responses of winter wheat and summer maize to different water saving management practices involving four mulching and irrigation treatments, i.e., plastic mulch ridge and straw mulch furrow ...

Although wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) pericarp starch granule (PSG) has been well-studied, our knowledge of its features and mechanism of accumulation and degradation during pericarp growth is poor. In the present study, developing wheat caryopses were collected and starch granules were extracted from their pericarp to investigate the morphological and structural characteristics of PSGs using m...
