Effects of ethylenediurea (EDU) on apoplast and chloroplast proteome in two wheat varieties under high ambient ozone: an approach to investigate EDU's mode of action.

Rising tropospheric ozone (O) is a serious threat to plants and animals in the present climate change scenario. High tropospheric O has the capability to disrupt cellular organelles leading to impaired photosynthesis and significant yield reduction. Apoplast and chloroplast are two important cellular components in a plant system.

Effects of ethylenediurea (EDU) on regulatory proteins in two maize (Zea mays L.) varieties under high tropospheric ozone phytotoxicity.

Rising tropospheric ozone is a major threat to the crops in the present climate change scenario. To investigate the EDU induced changes in proteins, two varieties of maize, the SHM3031 and the PEHM5, (hereafter S and P respectively) were treated with three EDU applications (0= control, 50 and 200 ppm) (hereafter 0= A, 1 and 2 respectively) (SA, S1, S2, PA, P1, P2 cultivar X treatments). Data on the morpho-physiology, enzymatic activity, and protein expression (for the first time) were collected at the vegetative (V, 45 DAG) and flowering (F, 75 DAG) developmental stages.

Growth, physiological and proteomic responses in field grown wheat varieties exposed to elevated CO under high ambient ozone.

The present study investigated growth, biochemical, physiological, yield and proteomic changes in 3 wheat varieties exposed to elevated CO (515 ppm) in a background of high ambient ozone in field. Ethylenediurea (EDU) was used as antiozonant. Average ozone concentration was 59 ppb and was sufficient enough to exert phytotoxic effects.

Proteomic changes may lead to yield alteration in maize under carbon dioxide enriched condition.

In the present study, the effect of elevated CO on growth, physiology, yield and proteome was studied on two maize ( L.) varieties grown under Free-air CO enrichment. Growth in high CO (530 ppm) did not affect either photosynthesis or pigment contents in both varieties.

Proteomics unravel the regulating role of salicylic acid in soybean under yield limiting drought stress.

Drought is a major concern for sustainable yield under changing environment. Soybean, an economically important oil and protein crop, is prone to drought resulting in yield instability. Salicylic acid (SA), a multifaceted growth hormone, modulates a series of parallel processes to confer drought tolerance thereby relieving yield limitations.

Impact of Ethylene diurea (EDU) on growth, yield and proteome of two winter wheat varieties under high ambient ozone phytotoxicity.

The present study evaluated the impact of high ambient O on morphological, physiological and biochemical traits and leaf proteome in two high-yielding varieties of wheat using ethylene diurea (EDU) as foliar spray (200 and 300 ppm). Average ambient ozone concentration was 60 ppb which was more than sufficient to cause phytotoxic effects. EDU treatment resulted in less lipid peroxidation along with increased chlorophyll content, biomass and yield.

Salicylic acid mediated growth, physiological and proteomic responses in two wheat varieties under drought stress.

Unlabelled: Salicylic acid (SA) induced drought tolerance can be a key trait for increasing and stabilizing wheat production. These SA induced traits were studied in two Triticum aestivum L. varieties; drought tolerant, Kundan and drought sensitive, Lok1 under two different water deficit regimes: and rehydration at vegetative and flowering stages.
