Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.), being a high silicon (Si)-accumulator, is a major global food
crop for more than half of the world's population. However, both salinity and drought, two of …

The concept of a root economics space (RES) is increasingly adopted to explore root trait
variation and belowground resource‐acquisition strategies. Much progress has been made …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have become an attractive target as biostimulants in
agriculture due to their known contributions to plant nutrient uptake and abiotic stress …

We investigated the influence of Salvia fruticosa colonization by the arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi (AMF) Rhizophagus irregularis on photosynthetic function by using chlorophyll …

The present study aims to unravel ecophysiological mechanisms underlying plant-microbe
interactions under natural abiotic stress conditions, specifically heavy metal pollution. Effect …

The root economics space is a useful framework for plant ecology but is rarely considered
for crop ecophysiology. In order to understand root trait integration in winter wheat, we …

The increasing interest and demand of Ocimum tenuiflorum L. and its products in different
industrial sectors necessitate appropriate cultural practices for cultivation of the plant with …

Medal (note the leaf scroll at the top) received by W. Adams at the Missouri State Science
Fair. The backdrop of leaves includes those from (beginning in the upper left, moving …

In the majority of wheat growing areas worldwide, the incidence of drought stress has
increased significantly resulting in a negative impact on plant development and grain yield …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important endogenous signaling molecule that can not only induce
disease resistance but also improve the accumulation of secondary metabolites in plants …
