This study aimed to investigate the effects of eggshell powder application on the growth and yield of groundnut. The calcium treatments were lime application (A0) at 500 kg ha−1 and four rates of eggshell powder application including A1 (200 kg ha−1), A2 (300 kg ha−1), A3 (400 kg ha−1), and A4 (500 kg ha−1). Two application times, T1 (applying 5-days before sowing) and T2 (applying 5-days after flowering) were employed. The result showed that eggshell powder could be a useful alternative source to supply Ca for groundnut. Application of eggshell powder before sowing resulted in significantly higher pod yield and total calcium uptake with better growth parameters than after flowering. Increasing eggshell powder application rates also increased soil pH and calcium contents, and plant calcium uptake. The application rate of eggshell powder before sowing at the rate of 300 kg ha−1 produced the highest pod yield and was suggested to be optimum.

Sugarcane is widely grown in these areas, and it is necessary to increase the nitrogen use efficiency of this crop to reduce nitrogen leaching. Studies on nitrogen utilization in this species have focused on yield potential and fertilizer management; however, there have been only a few breeding attempts. The relationship between root system characteristics and nitrogen utilization is also unclear, while improvement of nitrogen utilization using Erianthus can be expected because of its unique root system characteristics. In the present study, nitrogen leaching and root system characteristics of sugarcane × Erianthus intergeneric hybrid and parental genotypes were investigated using a lysimeter to verify the possibility of improving nitrogen utilization characteristics. Nitrogen leaching was significantly lower under the parental Erianthus from the early growth stage, while it was significantly lower in the intergeneric hybrid in the mid-growth stage than that in the parental sugarcane. The nitrogen use efficiencies of Erianthus and the intergeneric hybrid were significantly greater than that of sugarcane. Erianthus and the intergeneric hybrid exhibited lower shoot/root ratio and deeper rooting than sugarcane and consumed significant amounts of soil moisture in the deeper layers, suggesting that root mass and deeper rooting may be factors in reducing nitrogen leaching. These results indicate the possibility of improving the nitrogen utilization characteristics of sugarcane by improving its root system characteristics using Erianthus.

To protect the environment more strictly and develop sustainably, the planting process will reduce the input of fertilizer (nitrogen fertilizer). The effect of reduced nitrogen fertilizer on the yield and quality of ramie is still under systematic investigation. Taking the fiber variety ‘H5’ as the target, 4 N application rates of 100% (N 390 kg/hm2), 85%, 70%, and 55% were set, with no N application as the control (marked as N100, N85, N70, N55, and CK), to study the effects of N reduction on ramie yield, N uptake and utilization, and soil fertility. The results showed that the total production of ramie first harvest raw fiber and nitrogen accumulation showed a trend of first rising and then falling with the decrease of nitrogen application, the output of secondary and tertiary harvest ramie decreased with the reduction of nitrogen application, and the total production of N85 treatment was the highest. Compared with N100, N70 and N85 can improve n utilization, N agronomic utilization, N partial productivity, and N harvest index. Nitrogen reduction can reduce the content of soil organic matter, available phosphorus, and available potassium in ramie, and the difference between N85 and N100 is not significant. Nitrogen fertilizer application can be reduced by 15% in ramie production.

Although canopy temperature differences (CTD) provide important information for evaluating canopy photosynthesis, the measurement of CTD is still a labor-intensive task. Therefore, we designed this study to establish a model for predicting CTD under different field conditions using meteorological data and evaluated the environmental response of CTD using the established model. Our study collected 2,056,264 CTD data points from two rice cultivars having different photosynthetic capacities, ‘Koshihikari’ and ‘Takanari’, and then used these data to create a novel model using a neural network (NN). The input variables were limited to meteorological data, and the output variable was set to CTD. The established NN model produced a prediction accuracy of R2 = 0.792 and RMSE = 0.605°C. We then used this NN model to simulate the CTD response of the Koshihikari and Takanari cultivars in response to various environmental changes. These predictions revealed that Takanari had a lower CTD than Koshihikari when exposed to high relative humidity (RH) or low to moderate solar radiation (Rs ). In contrast, the CTD of Koshihikari tended to be lower than that of Takanari under lower RH or higher Rs . This result implies that the advantages of the single-leaf gas exchange system in Takanari can be mitigated under extremely high-VPD conditions. Thus, our new method may provide a powerful tool to gain a better understanding of gas exchange, growth processes, and varietal differences in rice cultivated under field conditions.

The common ice plant, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L., an annual halophyte native to South Africa, tolerates high salinity levels and accumulates NaCl in a shoot at a high level. To check the availability of the ice plant for desalinization of soils, we cultured the ice plant in soils collected from 16 sites located along coastal regions in the prefectures of Miyagi and Iwate, where were attacked by the tsunami disaster in the wake of the 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tohoku on 11 March 2011. In the soils obtained from some tsunami affected areas, the growth was better than that in the non-contaminated soil. The factors associated with growth inhibition were suggested to be water ratio (an index of water content) and soil water permeability. The ice plant’s estimated biological yield ranged from 0.33 to 14.6 kg m−2, equivalent to 2.3 to 101.7 t ha−1. The sum of Na+ and Cl− was about 9.5 g in the shoot (31.8% on a dry weight basis), and the estimated total amount of these ions removed from salinized soil was 2.38 t ha−1. These results indicated that the common ice plant could be used as a crop under salinity and a tool for ameliorating NaCl from salinized soils.

To establish a basis for the effective breeding, the root traits of 28 sweet potato genotypes cultivated by direct planting were evaluated for mother root weight, daughter root weight (DRW), total root weight (TRW), ratio of DRW to TRW (RDRW), and ratio of mother root enlargement. Significant differences between the genotypes were observed for all five traits (p < 0.01). However, we concluded that RDRW is a reliable indicator for performance under direct planting cultivation because it showed the highest estimated heritability (0.57), and genotypes with high RDRW also indicated notably low values for coefficient of variation.

This study investigated flowering characteristics of rice genotypes contrasting in their flower opening time (FOT) and level of drought tolerance. Near-isogenic lines for the early-morning flowering trait (IR64+ qEMF3) and for drought tolerance (IR87707-445-B-B-B), and their recurrent parent cultivar (IR64) were used. IR64+ qEMF3 had stable earlier FOT than IR64 and IR87707-445-B-B-B under drought stress conditions. Drought stress occasionally affects FOT depending on genotype. The number of open spikelets was higher in IR87707-445-B-B-B than in IR64 and IR64+ qEMF3, and the difference among genotypes increased as the rice plants were subjected to more severe stress levels. Panicle temperature increased under drought stress conditions and was similar among genotypes when it was measured at the same time of day, demonstrating that earlier FOT in IR64+ qEMF3 must be beneficial to avoid heat stress at flowering under drought stress conditions. However, IR64+ qEMF3 did not exhibit drought avoidance, as evidenced by the root mass at depth. To assess the potential for the EMF trait to complement ongoing drought breeding efforts, heat tolerance among 13 advanced drought breeding lines and released cultivars was tested. Wide variation in heat tolerance at flowering was observed and, notably, none of the 13 lines possessed the EMF trait. This study therefore proposes that a breeding strategy that transfers the EMF trait into drought tolerant lines could enhance the resilience of rice spikelets to the combined stresses of heat and drought at flowering.

This suggests that these species exhibit submergence tolerance at the seedling stage. During gradual submergence at mature stage, promoted internodal elongation was observed in the accessions of diploid and tetraploid O. punctata, O. alta, O. grandiglumis, O. latifolia, and O. brachyantha. This suggests that these species possess floating ability. Remarkably, two CCDD genome species, namely O. grandiglumis and O. latifolia, strongly displayed both submergence tolerance at the seedling stage and floating ability at mature stage, suggesting that these species are valuable genetic resources for improving rice adaptability to flooding. SUB1A and SNORKEL genes are known to confer submergence tolerance and floating ability to O. sativa, respectively. However, SUB1A, SNORKEL1, and SNORKEL2 genes were not detected in any of the wild rice accessions investigated in the present study. Our results suggest that adaptive responses to flooding in the investigated wild rice species can be achieved independently of the presence or absence of SUB1A and SNORKEL genes.
