Unraveling genotypic interactions in sugar beet for enhanced yield stability and trait associations.

The interaction between genotype and environment (GEI) significantly influences plant performance, crucial for breeding programs and ultimately boosting crop productivity. Alongside GEI, breeders encounter another hurdle in their quest for yield improvement, notably adverse and negative correlations among pivotal traits. This study delved into the stability of white sugar yield (WSY), root yield (RY), sugar content (SC), extraction coefficient of sugar (ECS), and the interplay among essential traits including RY, SC, alpha amino nitrogen (N), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) across 15 sugar beet hybrids and three control varieties.

Boron and pigment content in alfalfa affected by nano fertilization under calcareous conditions.

Boron is among the necessary nutrients for plant growth and yield production, and it can improve the nutritional properties of forage crops. However, at higher levels it maybe toxic adversely affecting plant growth and forage quality. Plant boron concentration is affected by different parameters including boron fertilization, soil, climate, plant species, etc.

Balangu (Lallemantia sp.) growth and physiology under field drought conditions affecting plant medicinal content.

Drought stress is one of the most important stresses adversely affecting plant growth and yield production. Due to the importance of global warming, the investigation of drought effects on the growth and quality of medical plants is of vital importance. Accordingly, a two-year field experiment was conducted in 2013-2014 to determine the effects of drought levels and plant species on Balangu (Lallemantia sp.

Fatty acid composition of canola (Brassica napus L.), as affected by agronomical, genotypic and environmental parameters.

Vegetable oils with a high relative amount of unsaturated fatty acids are of great significance for human health. There is not any data on the effects of tillage practices on fatty acid composition of canola (Brassica napus L.).
