Abstract
Continuous cropping obstacles seriously restrict the yield of Tartary buckwheat. Graphene oxide (GO) is shown to play an important role in defense mechanism to plant abiotic stress. However, the relationship between GO and improving continuous cropping tolerance is unclear. The main objective of this study was to analyze the physiological mechanism of GO in alleviating continuous cropping injury. A 2-year field experiment was conducted on Tartary buckwheat (Jinqiao 2) to investigate the characteristics with five GO treatments, namely, 0 (control), 25 (G1), 50 (G2), 100 (G3), and 200 mg L–1 (G4). With increasing the GO application concentration, the rhizosphere soil nutrient content, root morphology and activity, photosynthetic characteristics and chlorophyll content, antioxidant enzyme activities, osmotica and auxin (IAA) content, agronomic traits, and yield initially increased and then decreased. The contents of malonaldehyde, superoxide anion free radical, and abscisic acid (ABA) initially decreased and then increased. Compared with CK, the yields subjected to continuous cropping and treated with G1, G2, G3, and G4 were 1.28, 1.58, 1.43, and 1.16 times, respectively. GO treatment, especially G2 treatment, can improve the tolerance and increase the yield of Tartary buckwheat to continuous cropping, and it is suitable for widespread use by farmers in Tartary buckwheat production.
期刊介绍:
The journal Plant Stress deals with plant (or other photoautotrophs, such as algae, cyanobacteria and lichens) responses to abiotic and biotic stress factors that can result in limited growth and productivity. Such responses can be analyzed and described at a physiological, biochemical and molecular level. Experimental approaches/technologies aiming to improve growth and productivity with a potential for downstream validation under stress conditions will also be considered. Both fundamental and applied research manuscripts are welcome, provided that clear mechanistic hypotheses are made and descriptive approaches are avoided. In addition, high-quality review articles will also be considered, provided they follow a critical approach and stimulate thought for future research avenues.
Plant Stress welcomes high-quality manuscripts related (but not limited) to interactions between plants and:
Lack of water (drought) and excess (flooding),
Salinity stress,
Elevated temperature and/or low temperature (chilling and freezing),
Hypoxia and/or anoxia,
Mineral nutrient excess and/or deficiency,
Heavy metals and/or metalloids,
Plant priming (chemical, biological, physiological, nanomaterial, biostimulant) approaches for improved stress protection,
Viral, phytoplasma, bacterial and fungal plant-pathogen interactions.
The journal welcomes basic and applied research articles, as well as review articles and short communications. All submitted manuscripts will be subject to a thorough peer-reviewing process.
