The impact of increasing drought periods on crop yields as a result of global climate change is a major concern in modern agriculture. Thus, a greater understanding of crop physiological responses under drought stress can guide breeders to develop new cultivars with enhanced drought tolerance. In this study, selected chromosome segment substitution lines of KDML105 (KDML105-CSSL) were grown in the Plant Phenomics Center of Kasetsart University in Thailand under well-watered and drought-stressed conditions. Physiological traits were measured by observing gas exchange dynamics and using a high-throughput phenotyping platform. Furthermore, because of its impact on plant internal gas and water regulation, stomatal morphological trait variation was recorded. The results show that KDML105-CSS lines exhibited plasticity responses to enhance water-use efficiency which increased by 3.62%. Moreover, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration decreased by approximately 40% and plant height was reduced by 17.69%. Stomatal density tended to decrease and was negatively correlated with stomatal size, and stomata on different sides of the leaves responded differently under drought stress. Under drought stress, top-performing KDML105-CSS lines with high net photosynthesis had shorter plant height and improved IWUE, as influenced by an increase in stomatal density on the upper leaf side and a decrease on the lower leaf side.

Wheat, a staple food crop globally, faces the challenges of limited water resources and sustainable soil management practices. The pivotal elements of the current study include the integration of activated acacia biochar (AAB) in wheat cultivation under varying irrigation regimes (IR). A field trial was conducted in the Botanical Garden, University of the Punjab, Lahore during 2023-2024, designed as a split-split-plot arrangement with RCBD comprising three AAB levels (0T, 5T, and 10T, T = tons per hectare) three wheat cultivars (Dilkash-2020, Akbar-2019, and FSD-08) receiving five IR levels (100%, 80%, 70%, 60%, and 50% field capacity).

Introduction: In order to elucidate the physiological mechanism of post-flowering assimilate transport regulating the formation of yields in arid regions and to provide technological support for further water-saving and high yields in the wheat region in Xinjiang, we conducted a study on the effects of different fertility periods and different degrees of drought and re-watering on the post-flowering dry matter accumulation and transport of spring wheat and the characteristics of grain filling.
Methods: In two spring wheat growing seasons in 2023 and 2024, a split-zone design was used, with the drought-sensitive variety Xinchun 22 (XC22) and drought-tolerant variety Xinchun 6 (XC6) as the main zones and a fully irrigated control during the reproductive period [CK, 75%~80% field capacity (FC)], with mild drought at the tillering stage (T1, 60%~65% FC), moderate drought at the tillering stage (T2, 45%~50% FC), mild drought at the jointing stage (J1, 60%~65% FC), and mild drought at the jointing stage (J2, 45%~50% FC) as the sub-zones.
Results: The dry matter accumulation of the aboveground parts of wheat (stem sheaths, leaves, and spikes), the transfer rate and contribution rate of nutrient organs, the maximum filling rate (V), and the mean filling rate (V) increased significantly after re-watering in the T1 treatment, and decreased with the deepening of the degree of water stress.

The apoplastic pH (pH) in plants is susceptible to environmental stimuli. However, the biological implications of pH variation have remained largely unknown. The universal stress phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) as well as the major environmental stimuli drought and salinity were selected as representative cases to investigate how changes in pH relate to plant behaviors in Arabidopsis.

Background: The stone-dwelling genus Blastococcus plays a key role in ecosystems facing extreme conditions such as drought, salinity, alkalinity, and heavy metal contamination. Despite its ecological significance, little is known about the genomic factors underpinning its adaptability and resilience in such harsh environments. This study investigates the genomic basis of Blastococcus's adaptability within its specific microniches, offering insights into its potential for biotechnological applications.

In recent decades, the global climate has changed mainly due to human-induced causes and realizing their manifestations in the forms of extreme events such as droughts, floods, heat stress, and variability in rainfall. Arid and semi-arid ecosystems are sensitive to changes in climate variability, including the Borana zone. This study was therefore initiated to assess how vulnerable pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihoods are to climate change, as well as to estimate the effects, and pinpoint potential response measures that could be implemented in the study area.
