(Died.) Drechs., the causal agent of tan spot, is one of the most serious biotic diseases affecting wheat worldwide ( L.). Studying the interaction between different fungicide mixtures and nitrogen (N) rates under tan spot outbreaks is of key importance for reducing aboveground biomass and grain yield losses. Taking this into account, our study took a mechanistic approach to estimating the combined effect of different fungicides and N fertilization schemes on the severity of tan spot, green leaf area index, SPAD index, aboveground biomass dynamics, and yield in a wheat crop affected at the reproductive stage. Our results indicated that reductions in green leaf area, healthy area duration (HAD), and the chlorophyll concentration (SPAD index) due to increases in the percentage of damage led to decreases in biomass production (-19.2%) and grain yield (-48.1%). Fungicides containing triazole + strobilurin + carboxamides (TSC) or triazole + strobilurin (TS) combined with high N doses showed the most efficient disease control. The positive physiological effects of TSC fungicides, such as extending the green leaf area, are probably responsible for the greater production of aboveground biomass (+29.3%), as well as the positive effects on grain yield (+15.8%) with respect to TS. Both fungicide treatments increased grains per spike, kernel weight, spikes m, grains m and grain yield. The increase in biomass in the TSC tended to cause slighter non-significant increases in grains per spike, 1000-kernel weight and grain yield compared with TS. The linear regression revealed positive associations among the extension of HAD and biomass (+5.88 g.m.HAD.day), grain yield (+38 kg.ha.HAD.day), and grain number (100.7 grains m.HAD.day), explained by the interactions of high N doses and fungicides. Our study is the first report of the positive effect of TSC fungicides with high N doses on grain yield related-traits under tan spot infections in wheat.

Stay-green sorghum varieties are known for their drought resistance and ability to retain green biomass during grain filling, making them crucial for sustainable agriculture in arid regions. However, there is limited information on their stover yield (SY) and nutritional quality when both grain and forage are harvested. This study assessed five stay-green sorghum varieties at the Bako Agricultural Research Centre using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Rice grain size influences both grain yield and quality, making it a significant target for rice genetic improvement. In recent years, numerous genes related to grain size with differential effects have been cloned. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) gene editing system is a convenient tool for modifying genes.

Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is an evolutionarily conserved heterotrimeric transcription factor in eukaryotes. In a previous study, OsNF-YB12 was confirmed to be associated with drought tolerance using the Ecotilling method. In this study, real-time quantitative RT-PCR revealed that OsNF-YB12 was induced by various abiotic stresses and phytohormones, with expression levels differing between leaves and roots.

Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum), a functional grain known for its medicinal and nutritional properties, has garnered significant attention due to its high flavonoid content and unique health benefits. Heat stress during the flowering stage can lead to sterility in Tartary buckwheat, resulting in reduced yields. This study investigates the effects of a treatment (30/27 °C for 7 days) on flower development, fertility, stress physiology, and gene expression in Tartary buckwheat, while also validating the efficacy of hormone treatments in alleviating the negative effects of heat stress.

Lead (Pb), a toxic metal, causes severe health hazards to both humans and plants due to environmental pollution. Biochar addition has been efficiently utilized to enhance growth of plants as well as yield in the presence of Pb-induced stress. The present research introduces a novel use of biochar obtained from the weed Achyranthes japonica to enhance the growth of plants in Pb-contaminated soil.
