Eco-physiological evaluation of multipurpose tree species to ameliorate saline soils.

Salinity is a widespread soil and underground water contaminant threatening food security and economic stability. Phytoremediation is an efficient and environmental-friendly solution to mitigate salinity impacts. The present study was conducted to evaluate the phytoremediation potential of five multipurpose trees: and under four salinity treatments: Control, 10, 20 and 30 dS m.

Fullerol improves seed germination, biomass accumulation, photosynthesis and antioxidant system in Brassica napus L. under water stress.

Carbon nanoparticles are widely studied for affecting crop production in agriculture. Considering their potential threats to the crops, especially under drought stress, is important for carbon nanoparticle application. However, the influence of polyhydroxy fullerene-fullerol on drought tolerance at the physiological and molecular levels in Brassica napus remains unclear.

5-aminolevulinic acid improves salt tolerance mediated by regulation of tetrapyrrole and proline metabolism in Brassica napus L. seedlings under NaCl stress.

5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a key biosynthetic precursor of tetrapyrroles, is vital for plant growth and adaptation to stress environments. Although exogenous ALA could enhance photosynthesis and biomass accumulation in plants under stress conditions, the underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms governed by ALA in promoting salt tolerance in Brassica napus L. are not yet clearly understood.

Leaf Senescence, Root Morphology, and Seed Yield of Winter Oilseed Rape ( L.) at Varying Plant Densities.

In this study, the yield and yield components were studied using a conventional variety Zhongshuang 11 (ZS 11) and a hybrid variety Zhongyouza 12 (ZYZ 12) at varying plant densities. The increase in plant density led to an initial increase in seed yield and pod numbers per unit area, followed by a decrease. The optimal plant density was 58.

Nano-TiO2 Is Not Phytotoxic As Revealed by the Oilseed Rape Growth and Photosynthetic Apparatus Ultra-Structural Response.

Recently nano-materials are widely used but they have shown contrasting effects on human and plant life. Keeping in view the contrasting results, the present study has evaluated plant growth response, antioxidant system activity and photosynthetic apparatus physiological and ultrastructural changes in Brassica napus L. plants grown under a wide range (0, 500, 2500, 4000 mg/l) of nano-TiO2 in a pot experiment.

Ideotype population exploration: growth, photosynthesis, and yield components at different planting densities in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.).

Rapeseed is one of the most important edible oil crops in the world and the seed yield has lagged behind the increasing demand driven by population growth. Winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is widely cultivated with relatively low yield in China, so it is necessary to find the strategies to improve the expression of yield potential.

Tree species as a potential source of bio-herbicides for controlling Parthenium hysterophorus L.

To assess the herbicidal potential of Eugenia jambolana Lam., Ricinus communis L., Ziziphus jujuba L.
