Impact of boron on Glycine max L. to mitigate salt stress by modulating the morpho-physiological and biochemical responses.

Background: Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient in higher plants, contributing to various physiological processes. However, its protective mechanism in mitigating salt stress remained less understood. This study investigates that exogenous boron (0, 1, 2 kg ha) can help alleviate salt stress (0, 60, 120 mM NaCl) in two soybean cultivars AARI-2021 (V1) and Ajmeri (V2).

FTIR spectroscopy-based lipochemical fingerprints involved in pomegranate response to water stress.

Pomegranate trees are known for their ability to withstand drought conditions, but there is still much to learn about how water stress affects the lipobiochemical behavior of their seeds. This study aimed to investigate how sustained deficit irrigation (SDI-50), equivalent to 50% of crop evapotranspiration, influences pomegranate seed oil attributes such as phenols, flavonoids, and tannins content, and the seeds' lipochemical fingerprints compared to fully irrigated trees. At the full ripening stage, pomegranate seeds were analyzed for their oil content, biochemical traits, and vibrational fingerprints using infrared radiation.

Japanese plums behavior under water stress: impact on yield and biochemical traits.

This work investigates response to drought of nine local cultivars alongside two exotic varieties of Japanese plum ( L.) through their yield and fruit quality components. It was carried out at Sais plain, northern Morocco, over two consecutive years (2019-2020).

Pomegranate plasticity to water stress: attempt to understand interactions between cultivar, year and stress level.

This work investigated the effects of sustained deficit irrigation (SDI) on yield components and fruit physico-biochemical proprieties of two pomegranate cultivars, 'Sefri' and 'Wonderful' 21 trees each, in Sais plain (northern Morocco) over two consecutive seasons (2018-2019). Irrigation treatments consisted of a control, irrigation applied to fully satisfy crop evapotranspiration (100% ET), and two SDI treatments: 70% ET (SDI) and 50% ET (SDI). The effects of the SDI treatments differed between cultivars and years.
