Benghal dayflower also possesses the ability to root at the nodes and can be propagated from cut stems. Under suitable environmental conditions, Benghal dayflower can reproduce very quickly and form invasive populations in crop planting areas that could cause outbreaks of crop pests and diseases as host of plant pathogens. Benghal dayflower is not sensitive to a variety of herbicides including glyphosate. Especially in recent years, with extensive promotion of glyphosate-resistant genetically modified crops and use of glyphosate, that has changed the species and composition of weeds in farmland systems. The control methods of Benghal dayflower mainly included chemical control, mechanical control and comprehensive management of crop production. But no comprehensive and effective control strategy has been developed. Benghal dayflower had become a malignant weed in agricultural production and caused serious agricultural economic lossesas. At present, the research on Benghal dayflower mainly focuses on biological characteristics, reproductive strategies, hazards and control methods. There are few studies on the physiological and ecological mechanism, the comparison of invasive community types, the process of invasion and diffusion in different species communities, and the dynamics of population response to the environment. and the ecological factors and efficient control methods are still unclear. In this review, our primary objective is designed to lay a theoretical foundation for the development of more economical and effective control technologies and preventative strategies via description of biological and ecological features, harms and formative mechanism of Benghal dayflower; that will help to devise new guidelines and technical approaches for effective prevention and control of Benghal dayflower.","PeriodicalId":16806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Sciences","volume":"191 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73950004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Obtaining more-tolerant plants is a very important breeding goal in ornamentals. To achieve abiotic tolerant Begonia×tuberhybrida, OsmiR393a, a miRNA involved in the tolerance of plants to abiotic stresses, was introduced using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Explants were cultured on modified MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BA, 0.5 mg/L IAA, and 5 mg/L hygromycin for transgenic selection and regeneration. Stable integration of the transgene was verified in putatively transformed plants by PCR screening. When fresh flower longevity was evaluated by the period from bloom to wilting of 3 petals, flower longevity of transgenic line was 8 d longer than control. Furthermore, 15 days after stress treatment, petals of control plants wilted, whereas transgenic lines remained. This results shows that expressing OsmiR393a could extend only flower longevity without affecting flower type under water stress in Begonia×tuberhybrida. In addition, the transgenic plants displayed lower transpiration rate, higher proline content and chlorophyll content when subjected to water stress. These results suggest OsmiR393a may improve water stress tolerance of Begonia×tuberhybrida by regulating different pathways in response to the stress conditions and miR393a is conservatized between monocotyledon and dicotyledon.","PeriodicalId":16806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Sciences","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75246042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, banana production is threatened by several bacterial diseases, including Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pathovar (pv). musacearum, Moko disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, and Blood disease caused by Ralstonia syzygii sub-species (subsp). Celebesensis. Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW), caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) is the most economically important bacterial disease affecting banana production, particularly in the African Great Lakes region. Banana breeding through conventional approach is key to overcoming yield losses to bacterial phytopathogens. However, conventional breeding of bananas is limited by low male and female fertility and the lack of diversity and important traits in the gene pool. At present, only Musa balbisiana (banana progenitor species) is resistant to BXW, but breeders do not prefer it for breeding because it harbors banana streak virus (BSV) sequences in its B genome, which get activated during abiotic stress, such as drought, leading Banana Streak Disease (BSD). Thus, genetic engineering serves as a viable alternative and complement to conventional breeding for banana improvement. This review highlights the strategies, challenges, status, and prospects of genetic engineering of bananas against bacterial diseases.","PeriodicalId":16806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89154347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine heterotic groups of locally developed maize inbred lines, their heterotic relationships, with exotic testers as well as the gene action controlling grain yield. Nineteen maize inbred lines were crossed to four testers, based on a line x tester mating scheme resulting in 76 test crosses. These crosses were evaluated together with four checks in 10 x 8 α-lattice design across four locations in 2015B and 2016A seasons. Both additive and non-additive gene action were important for grain yield with preponderance of additive gene action. The most desirable GCA effects for grain yield were realized in inbred line 8 while the highest desirable SCA effects were displayed by the test cross 18xT1. Generally, most of the inbred lines exhibited positive heterosis with all testers. However, there was more aligning firstly towards tester T2 and then to T3. The highest heterosis was displayed by the combination of inbred line 8 with 3. Regardless of the heterotic grouping method applied, the inbred lines were discriminated into different heterotic groups; two and nine heterotic groups were identified based on standard heterosis and SCA effects; respectively. The information generated would be useful in optimizing the maize hybrid breeding programme in Rwanda and for other researchers for high yielding maize variety development.","PeriodicalId":16806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Sciences","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91009322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gongnong No. 1 alfalfa was sown on July 1, July 16, August 1 and August 15, 2017, and was not cut at the end of autumn. The soil temperature changes in the 10 and 20 cm soil layers were monitored during the overwintering period, and bare land was monitored as a control. The growth characteristics of alfalfa were observed at the end of autumn, and the overwintering survival rate was measured at the end of April 2018. Research shows that as the sowing delay increased, the alfalfa hay yield, plant height, root collar diameter and overwintering survival rate decreased gradually. The minimum temperature of the 10 and 20 cm soil layers decreased as the sowing delay increased, and the diurnal temperature difference increased. Compared with that of alfalfa sown on August 15, the aboveground biomass of alfalfa sown on July 1 increased the average minimum temperature difference in the 10 and 20 cm soil layers by 3.12°C and 2.99°C, respectively, and reduce the average diurnal temperature difference by 3.33°C and 2.15°C. These results indicated that delaying alfalfa sowing reduces the cover on the field, which results in substantial differences in the minimum temperature and the diurnal temperature difference between the 10 and 20 cm soil layers. Our research has suggested that the minimum temperatures of the 10 and 20 cm soil layers and the increase in the diurnal temperature difference are important reasons for low overwintering survival rates in alfalfa. Therefore, sowing should occur in early July, and mowing should not be performed at the end of autumn in northern China.","PeriodicalId":16806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Sciences","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72722779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neem, known botanically as Azadirachta indica A. Juss is a member of the mahogany family (Meliaceae), and orders Geraniales, and is synonymous with Melia azadirachta Linn and Melia indica Brandis. Azandirachta indica originates from the arid and semi-arid areas of Burma and Northeast India. Neem is a large evergreen tree 12 to 20 meters tall and may reach a girth of 1.8 to 2.5 meters with a round, dense crown. The aim of this study was to determine appropriate pot size and growing medium for Azadirachta indica A. Juss seedlings, which will be used for successful plantation. For this purpose, polyethylene pots of 15 cm length and 8, 10 and 12 cm lay flats diameter were used. As growing medium, 5 different treatments were used, containing different ratios of top/local soil (TS), forest soil (FS), compost (Co) and sand soil (SS) collected from local, natural forest environments and highly decomposed compost (the different materials get from locally easily available). The experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block Design with 3 replications under open field conditions of forestry nursery. Some morphological properties of the seedlings, such as seedling height and root collar diameter growth parameters were measured ever two weeks for four (4) months old seedlings. The finding of this experimental study revealed/showed that relatively higher growth recorded in GM2 and GM4 ratio of composite growing media (3/2 topsoil:2 compost:1 sand soil) composites soil mixed growing media with both 10 cm and 12 cm lay flat polythene pots (PS2 and PS3) should be utilized for raising Azandirachta indica (Neem) seedling to achieve the best seedlings quality.

The 26 genotypes were tested during the 2016/2017 cropping season at Mugi and Haru sub- enters using RCBD. The combined analysis manifested significant difference among genotypes only in node number per primary branch (NNPB), fruit traits and Coffee leaf rust (CLR) although significant difference recorded for 18 and 22 of the 23 traits at Haru and at Mugi, respectively. The difference between environments was significant for all traits, except for CLR, yield (YLD), leaf, some fruit and bean traits. Performance at Haru was less than at Mugi for all traits showed significant difference. Genotype x environment (GEI) was significant for all traits excluding NNPB, leaf length (LL), fruit width and CLR indicating inconsistency performance of Coffee genotypes. At Haru, high phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV>20%) recorded for YLD (25.5%), CLR (110.0%) and number of secondary branch (NSB) (22.0%), but High genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV>20%) recorded only for CLR (99.6%).

Consequently, nitrogen fertilizer application could lead to tradeoff between grain yield and malt quality and grain yield resulting in significant loss for beverage industries and farmers. Thus a field experiment was carried out during 2018/2019 main cropping season on Nitisol at Arsi Zone of Ethiopia to study the effect of grain yield and malt quality response of malt barley (Hordeum vulgar L.) Varieties to different rates of nitrogen fertilizer. Factorial combination of three malt barley varieties (Holker, Ibon and Fanaka) and five rates of nitrogen fertilizer (11.5, 23, 34.5, 46 and 57.5 kg N ha-1) were laydown in split plot arrangement Nitrogen fertilizer rate as main plot and varieties as sub plot replicate three times. Data on soil sample analysis results revealed that, the soil physic-chemical property didn’t show significant variation in both before planting and after harvest. The interaction effects of nitrogen fertilizer rate and varieties had significant influence on grain yield, thousand kernel weight and hectoliter weight. Malt extract content and germination energy were significantly affected by main effect of malt barley varieties, while grain protein content affected only by nitrogen rate. Thus application of 57.5 kg N ha-1 to Ibon malt barley variety produced better (2.629 t ha-1) grain yields at the study area. From this point of view it can be conclude that Ibon Varity fertilized with 57.5 kg N ha-1 was found to be better in terms of both yield performance and economic feasibility for malt barley production in study area.","PeriodicalId":16806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87232297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
