Global warming and declining water resources are threatening the sustainability of rice
production and global food security. Conventional continuously flooded system (CF) of rice …

Partially and fully completed plant genome sequencing projects in both lower and higher
plants allow drawing a comprehensive picture of the molecular and structural diversities of …

Abscisic acid (ABA) metabolism, perception, and transport form a triptych allowing higher
plants to use ABA as a signaling molecule. The molecular bases of ABA metabolism are …

Water and nitrogen are two main factors affecting crop yield and quality, and their
optimization is crucial for sustainable agriculture production. In this study, the results of a …

An adsorption experiment and a pot experiment were executed in order to explore the
mechanisms by which biochar amendment in combination with reduced irrigation affects …

Soil drying and re-wetting (DRW) occurs at varying frequencies and intensities during crop
production, and is deliberately used in water-saving irrigation techniques that aim to …

The nutritional responses to drying and rewetting cycles of partial root-zone irrigation still
remains elusive. The effect of alternate partial root-zone irrigation (PRI) on water use …

The reduced pool of the ABA precursors, β, β-carotenoids, in roots does not account for the
substantial increase in ABA content in response to water stress (WS) conditions, suggesting …

Biochar amendment has many benefits for improving soil water holding capacity and plant
growth particularly under reduced irrigation regimes, yet the underlying biochemical and …

We investigated the effects of elevated CO 2 concentration ([CO 2]), different irrigation
regimes, and their interactions on leaf gas exchange, water relations, biomass production …
