To investigate the effects of salicylic acid on wheat by foliar spraying at various doses. An experiment in pots with three replications was carried out India during rabi season 2021-2022. Plant treated spray tillering, extension, and heading stages, concentrations 0.5mM, 1mM, 2mM. The results reveal that sprays 1mM 2mM aim to maintain shoot length under drought stress conditions. As concentrat...

Tillering determines the plant size of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and an understanding of its regulation is important to match genotypes to prevalent growing conditions in target production environments. The aim of this study was to determine the physiological and environmental regulation of variability in tillering among sorghum genotypes, and to develop a framework for this regulation. Diverse...

A field experiment was conducted over 2 years to evaluate the gas exchange, water relations and water use efficiency (WUE) of wheat under different water stress and nitrogen management practices at Crop Physiology Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Pakistan. Four irrigation levels, i.e. one irrigation (Irrigation at tillering stage), two irrigations (Irrigations at tillering ...

Tillering is an important trait in monocotyledon plants. The switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), studied usually as a source of biomass for energy production, can produce hundreds of tillers in its lifetime. Studying the tillering of switchgrass also provides information for other monocot crops. High-tillering and low-tillering mutants were produced by ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis. Alteration...

Two barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) forage varieties – Hemus and Karnobat, with high and low Rubisco content in the fully expanded first leaves (Metodiev and Demirevska-Kepova, 1992), were compared in pot vegetation experiments in respect of yield. Changes in the content of leaf pigments, the levels of total soluble and Rubisco immunoreactive protein were followed during six phenophases: 3rd leaf, ...

Because it is a staple food, sustainable production of wheat crucial for global food security. Arid and semi-arid regions are worst affected by climate change, which has resulted in poor productivity different crops, including wheat. To this end, study aimed to investigate the effect foliage-applied thiourea on growth, yield, nutritional-quality-related traits bread The treatments consisted lev...

In calcareous soils, wheat productivity is much lower due to improper nutrient management, especially phosphorus (P). Therefore, this study was conducted manage P availability from various organic (Control, FYM and Sugar cane straw applied at the rate of 10 ton ha?1) inorganic 100% rock phosphate (RP), 50% acidulated RP, single super (SSP) diammonium (DAP)) sources 90 kg P2O5 ha?1 in soil while...

In wheat, tillering and water-soluble carbohydrates (WSCs) in the stem are potential traits for adaptation to different environments and are of interest as targets for selective breeding. This study investigated the observation that a high stem WSC concentration (WSCc) is often related to low tillering. The proposition tested was that stem WSC accumulation is plant density dependent and could b...
