High plant density is considered a proficient approach to increase maize production in
countries with limited agricultural land; however, this creates a high risk of stem lodging and …

Plant growth regulators are synthetic chemical substances that are directly applied to crops
to alter some structural processes. It is expected that these alterations modify hormonal …

Soil salinity is a serious problem worldwide that reduces agricultural productivity.
Trichoderma longibrachiatum T6 (T6) has been shown to promote wheat growth and induce …

Dense plant cultivation is an efficient approach to utilize the maximum inputs for increasing
maize production. However, dense plant populations may prone to lodging as it results in …

We evaluated the effects of irrigation and nitrogen regimes on wheat root growth under high-
yielding conditions in the Huanghuai wheat production area of China by performing field …

Abstract Knowledge of root systems and soil water status across the root-zone is crucial in
developing effective cropping technologies. Mulching improves soil water status and root …

Melatonin is a pleiotropic regulatory molecule in plants and is involved in regulating plant
tolerance to drought stress. Here, we conducted transcriptomic and physiological analyses …

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of paclobutrazol on ear
characteristics and grain yield by regulating root growth and root-bleeding sap of maize …

Melatonin, a regulatory molecule, performs pleiotropic functions in plants, including
aluminum (Al) stress mitigation. Here, we conducted transcriptomic and physiological …

Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation water partitioning by the crop canopy is an important way of
affecting the effective use of water by maize. To investigate the rainfall partitioning by maize …
