Irrigation practice, tillage method, and nitrogen (N) management are the three most important agronomic measures for wheat ( L.) production, but the combined effects on grain yield and wheat physiological characteristics are still poorly understood. We conducted a three-year split-split field experiment at the junction of the Loess Plateau and Huang-Huai-Hai Plain in China.

- Both subsoiling tillage (ST) and ridge and furrow rainfall harvesting (RF) are effective methods for enhancing wheat productivity, especially during the summer fallow season.
- This study investigates how combining ST with RF affects water efficiency, nutrient uptake, and soil nitrate residues in dryland wheat farming in China.
- Results show that the coupled method (SRFSM) not only improves grain yield and protein quality but also reduces soil nitrate-N residue compared to traditional tillage practices.
Proanthocyanidins (PAs) and anthocyanins are flavonoids that contribute to the quality and health benefits of grapes and wine. Salinity affects their biosynthesis, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. We studied the effects of NaCl stress on PA and anthocyanin biosynthesis in grape suspension cells derived from berry skins of L.
