Abstract

Climate change-induced drought stress decreases crop productivity, but the application of β-sitosterol (BS) and biochar (BC) boosts crop growth and yield. A pot experiment was conducted to examine the effects of the alone and combined application of BS and BC on the growth and yield of Phaseolus vulgaris under drought stress. The synergistic application of BS and BC increased plant height (46.9cm), shoot dry weight (6.9g/pot), and root dry weight (2.5g/pot) of P. vulgaris plants under drought stress. The trend of applied treatments for photosynthetic rate remained as BC (15%)

研究β-谷甾醇和生物炭对干旱胁迫下黄花菜营养价值和抗旱性的综合影响

气候变化引起的干旱胁迫会降低作物产量，但施用β-谷甾醇（BS）和生物炭（BC）可促进作物生长和提高产量。我们通过盆栽实验研究了在干旱胁迫下单独或联合施用 BS 和 BC 对黄花菜生长和产量的影响。在干旱胁迫下，BS 和 BC 的协同施用增加了黄花菜的株高（46.9 厘米）、芽干重（6.9 克/盆）和根干重（2.5 克/盆）。各处理的光合速率变化趋势仍为 BC（15%）和 BS（15%）。

期刊介绍： Functional Plant Biology (formerly known as Australian Journal of Plant Physiology) publishes papers of a broad interest that advance our knowledge on mechanisms by which plants operate and interact with environment. Of specific interest are mechanisms and signal transduction pathways by which plants adapt to extreme environmental conditions such as high and low temperatures, drought, flooding, salinity, pathogens, and other major abiotic and biotic stress factors. FPB also encourages papers on emerging concepts and new tools in plant biology, and studies on the following functional areas encompassing work from the molecular through whole plant to community scale. FPB does not publish merely phenomenological observations or findings of merely applied significance. Functional Plant Biology is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science. Functional Plant Biology is published in affiliation with the Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology and in Australia, is associated with the Australian Society of Plant Scientists and the New Zealand Society of Plant Biologists.
