Comparison of Heat and Drought Stress Responses among Twelve Tartary Buckwheat () Varieties.

The use of orphan crops could mitigate the effects of climate change and improve the quality of food security. We compared the effects of drought, high temperature, and their combination in 12 varieties of Tartary buckwheat (). Plants were grown at 21/19 °C or 28/26 °C under well-watered and water-stressed conditions.

Comparison of Plant Morphology, Yield and Nutritional Quality of and Grown under Field Conditions in Belgium.

Buckwheat is a pseudocereal with high nutritional and nutraceutical properties. Although common buckwheat () is the main cultivated species, Tartary buckwheat () is gaining interest. In this paper, we compared plant growth, yield-related parameters and seed nutritional qualities of two varieties of and under field conditions in Belgium.

Different drought resistance mechanisms between two buckwheat species Fagopyrum esculentum and Fagopyrum tataricum.

Water availability is one of the main factors affecting crop production and the occurrence of drought periods is expected to increase in the context of ongoing climate change. We investigated the impact of water stress on two pseudocereal species, common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) and Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum). Plants were grown under greenhouse conditions under two water regimes: control (40-50% soil humidity) and water stress (<20% soil humidity).

Comparison of high temperature resistance in two buckwheat species Fagopyrum esculentum and Fagopyrum tataricum.

In the context of ongoing climate change, expected temperature rise may significantly limit plant growth and productivity of crop species. In this study, we investigated the effects of a sub-optimal temperature on buckwheat, a pseudocereal known for its nutraceutical advantages. Two buckwheat species differing by their reproduction method, namely Fagopyrum esculentum and Fagopyrum tataricum were grown at 21 °C and 27 °C in growth chambers.
