This study aimed at comparing the changes in WUE in winter wheat of different spike types, and to elucidate the factors influencing intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) of leaf characteristics and photosynthetic traits. Field experiments involved two winter wheat spike types: large-spike (SN30, TN18) and multi-spike (JM22, QH001). We assessed genotypic variations in photosynthetic parameters, WUEi, instantaneous water use efficiency (WUEn), and leaf stable carbon isotope discrimination (Δ¹³C) across major growth stages. The results demonstrate that the average yield of the large-spike (10.81 × 10³ kg ha⁻¹) was 18.04% higher than that of the multi-spike. The photosynthetic rate of winter wheat was highest at anthesis stage (between 16.68 and 24.88 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ depending on genotypes); the Δ¹³C values exhibited a range of 20.59‰–21.68‰ in the large-spike. Significant inter-annual differences emerged in transpiration rates (Tr), WUEi, and WUEn. Overall, large-spike wheat demonstrated superior photosynthetic capacity and water use efficiency. The results indicated a negative correlation between WUEi and Δ¹³C and stomatal conductance (Gs), which suggests that the decline in WUEi is primarily limited by stomatal conductance. These findings emphasise the interaction between leaf photosynthetic characteristics and WUEi acclimation strategies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14864,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science","volume":"211 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144367239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the minimum temperature that reproductive organs can resist without damage is crucial for adapting the crop to different environmental conditions and for breeding cultivars with enhanced tolerance to frost damage. Accordingly, this study examined frost tolerance progression across various phenological stages as well as assessed frost tolerance in 20 almond cultivars during full bloom. Almond cultivars exhibited a noticeable decline in frost tolerance as they advanced through the studied phenological stages, with the highest vulnerability occurring after the fruit set. Phenotyping for frost tolerance at the flowering stage revealed significant differences within cultivars, with most experiencing 50% flower damage at temperatures around −4.0°C. Among the studied cultivars, ‘Vairo’, ‘Tarraco’, ‘Lauranne’, ‘Marinada’, ‘Tuono’ and ‘Penta’ exhibited the highest tolerance to flower freezing, in contrast to ‘Marta’, ‘Marcona’ and ‘Francolí’ which showed the least. To further explore the relationship between physical and chemical traits and lethal temperatures, ovary and pistil weights were measured, along with the determination of the sucrose, fructose and glucose content in the pistils. Correlation analyses revealed that higher pistil sucrose content was associated with increased flower tolerance to freezing temperatures, suggesting that sucrose content enhances, to a certain extent, tolerance to frost damage at the flowering stage.

However, the core processes and contributing functions of the productivity of this rice under drought are not fully understood. Biomass production (<i>BP</i>) is one component of grain production (<i>GP</i>) (<i>GP</i> = <i>BP</i> × <i>HI</i>, where <i>HI</i> is harvest index) and <i>BP</i> is indicated by the water use efficiency coefficient (<i>k</i>) × transpiration per vapour water deficit of air (<i>T</i>/<i>VWD</i>).

First, the <i>k</i> and <i>T/</i><i>VWD</i> values in four NERICA upland cultivars and three <i>Oryza sativa</i> cultivars with contrasting traits for drought resistance were compared in a 4 L pot held under three different field capacities for 14 days. <i>k</i> was approximately constant under different soil moisture contents and mainly <i>T/</i><i>VWD</i> changed <i>BP</i>. Second, the responses of <i>T/</i><i>VWD</i> to soil drying in these seven cultivars were compared in 15 L pots for 10 days.

Third, the <i>FTSW</i> values were compared for two NERICA upland cultivars and one drought sensitive <i>O. sativa</i> cultivar selected from these seven cultivars in 31 L pots with depths of 1 m irrigated at four different soil depths. The <i>FTSW</i> values weighed by root distribution in NERICA upland cultivars watered deep in their soils were higher than those in the <i>O. sativa</i> cultivars, resulting in higher <i>BP</i>, <i>GP</i>, and <i>HI</i> values. These results indicate that the process by which drought reduced grain production in NERICA upland rice was as follows: the decreased <i>FSW</i> caused by reductions in water supply suppressed biomass production by reducing the transpiration level and moreover, the reduced harvest index due to sterility. Reductions of biomass production and harvest index decreased grain production. Hence, greater <i>FTSW</i> due to more developed roots could be a key elemental function for maintaining rice productivity due to keeping transpiration and harvest index.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14864,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science","volume":"211 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144339593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This meta-analysis seeks to answer whether exogenous bio-stimulants, particularly salicylic acid (SA), can improve the yield of wheat under salinity conditions and assess its economic feasibility in wheat production. A systematic search strategy was followed by using databases such as Google Scholar and Web of Science without any restrictions on language or time to identify articles published by June 2023 (updated in April 2025). The meta-analysis found that the total yield of wheat production under stress is reduced significantly compared to the control condition, and the pooled variance is 0.67 with 95% CI (confidence interval) 0.59 to 0.76. It was also found that wheat yield improved significantly under both non-saline and saline conditions by applying exogenous SA, with the pooled estimates of 1.14 with 95% CI 1.09 to 1.19 and 1.26 with 95% CI 1.18 to 1.33, respectively. The economic analysis demonstrates that SA application is a profitable intervention for wheat cultivation in salinity-affected areas, showing an overall benefit–cost ratio of 1.295.

The use of bacterial consortia represents a promising and eco-friendly approach to enhance heat tolerance in plants, offering a biological strategy to improve resilience under climate-induced stress conditions. In this study, three heat-tolerant <i>Bacillus species</i> (<i>Bacillus velezensis</i>, <i>Bacillus altitudinis</i> and <i>Bacillus cereus</i>) and two maize hybrids DK-6103 (heat tolerant) and SW-1080 (heat sensitive) were selected from laboratory and glasshouse experiments.

Soil microbial biomass C, N and phosphorus decreased in degraded soils. Warming treatments decreased NO₃⁻ and PO₄³⁻ availability in degraded soil under lucerne, with these effects further intensified by AM fungi inoculation. In contrast, drought increased NH₄⁺ in degraded soils under lucerne and increased PO₄³⁻ in non-degraded soils under tall fescue. In non-degraded soils, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increased NH₄⁺ under lucerne and NO₃⁻ and PO₄³⁻ under tall fescue in warmed + drought soils, suggesting that AM fungi can enhance nutrient cycling under specific plant species and climate conditions when soil biota have not been degraded. In contrast, altered biological communities in degraded soils may have limited the ability of AM fungi to support nutrient availability.
