Infestations are difficult to manage due to a persistent seedbank, complex dormancy, a long emergence window, herbicide resistance, and seed shatter corresponding to crop harvest timings. The study objective was to evaluate the efficacy of potassium nitrate (KNO3) and pyroligneous acid for promoting germination and emergence of wild oat and volunteer wheat, barley, and oat. A total of 24 repeated experiments were conducted using freshly produced seeds to ensure adequate endodormancy. Wheat and barley demonstrated no endodormancy following seed formation and rapidly emerged with moisture. All species imbibed but did not germinate in Petri dishes within pyroligneous acid solutions of 5%–100%. Dormancy release was observed within 0.1% and 1% pyroligneous acid solutions. KNO3 did not stimulate germination or emergence for any species and was inhibitory at 125 kg N ha−1. Pyroligneous acid increased wild oat emergence with 50% and 100% solutions applied at 200 L ha−1 in the first study and with 10% solutions in the second study. Emergence inhibition was noted for oat, barley, and wheat with pyroligneous acid applications. This research further confirms that pyroligneous acid may stimulate wild oat emergence and confirms activity on freshly matured seed.","PeriodicalId":9530,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Plant Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44755726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dehydrins are a family of proteins commonly found in plant tissue in response to dehydration stress and cold exposure. To determine their presence and relationship to cold hardiness in overwintering grapevines, compound buds of V. vinifera cv. Sauvignon blanc were sampled from a commercial vineyard every two to three weeks throughout the 2016-2017 winter. Proteins were extracted and separated by SDS-PAGE, and potential dehydrins were immunoblotted with a commercial antibody raised against the dehydrin K-segment consensus sequence. Six protein bands were identified in four Sauvignon blanc clones at 23, 26, 35, 41, 48 and 90 kDa, showing a serological relation to dehydrins due to their reaction with the K-segment antibody. The bands at 23, 41, 48, and 90 kDa were confirmed as dehydrins following trypsin digestion and LC-MS/MS with Mascot analysis. Their fluctuations throughout the dormant season were quantified by immunoblotting and three patterns emerged: the 23, 26 and 35 kDa proteins peaked immediately prior to deacclimation; the 41 and 48 kDa proteins peaked during maximum hardiness and decreased towards deacclimation while the 90 kDa plateaued during the same period. Maximum hardiness and relative dehydrin band intensity were positively correlated (p < 0.050) for all but the 23 kDa protein. The variation in accumulation patterns and relationships to cold hardiness indicates that these dehydrin proteins are likely regulated by different molecular processes and could play different roles in cryo-protection throughout dormancy.","PeriodicalId":9530,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Plant Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45117322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Cropping system adaptation for enhanced resilience to climate change in cold climate regions","authors":"Dr. Joann Whalen, Dr. Helen Booker, D. Cattani, Dr. Cameron Wagg","doi":"10.1139/cjps-2023-0041","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1139/cjps-2023-0041","url":null,"abstract":"Climate change is affecting our global environment and every sector of our economy. Yet, the agricultural sector stands out as being disproportionately impacted. Rising global temperatures are stressful for growing crops. As the Earth warms, the weather is expected to become increasingly erratic and extreme weather events are likely to occur more frequently. Crops are at risk from drought, flooding, heat waves, and the damaging effects of frost, hail, windstorms, and rainstorms. This special issue in the Canadian Journal of Plant Science covers all aspects of cropping system research in cold climate regions. The articles selected for publication in this special issue examine how cultivar selection and cropping system management can address the challenges and opportunities of a changing climate. Our goal was to gather the most current findings that would help explain the variability in crop responses, according to the geographical location (Mapfumo et al. 2023a, 2023b; Qian et al. 2023). Another objective was to identify the plant attributes that could enhance the resilience of cropping systems to climate change. Finally, we examined how crop adaptation and agricultural management could maintain or improve crop yields, ensure food security, and protect the environment. Crop breeding is one way to adapt to stressful growing conditions. Heat stress and water deficit are major growthlimiting factors for cool season crops such as field pea (Pisum sativum L). We now understand that lower yields of heat stressed pea is the result of early embryo abortion rather than difficulties with pollination (Osorio et al. 2023). Heat tolerance in field pea is associated with quantitative trait locus on chromosomes 2, 5, and 7 (Huang et al. 2023), which assists efforts to identify genotypes with superior heat stress tolerance. There is also a genetic and molecular basis to understanding soybean (Glycine max L.) seed germination in response to waterlogging and cold climate (Suo et al. 2023). Genetic adaptability will also be critical to the selection of forage crops such as cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.), a non-bloat perennial forage legume that thrives in colder climates and produces high yields of digestible livestock feed in the colder months (MacTaggart et al. 2023). Cropping system management will be key to sustaining the yields of short-season oilseed crops like soybean, which are sensitive to water limitation and solar radiation (Cober and Morrison 2023). Including perennial forages, as seed crops, in crop rotations is an option for greater cropping system resiliency in cold climate agricultural regions (Khanal 2023), while drought-resistant cover crops also offer additional opportunities for maintaining soil cover and fertility in dryland agriculture (Ben Kalifa et al. 2023). Soil fertility in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production systems was improved through the application of woody mulch (Nyiraneza et al. 2023), whereas judicious use of nitrogen f","PeriodicalId":9530,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Plant Science","volume":"103 1","pages":"331 - 332"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43706414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fire blight can spread rapidly through apple (and pear) orchards causing extensive tree mortality and economic loss. Twenty-eight promising cider cultivars were evaluated over a 7-year period, and in their seventh year of production they were severely naturally infected by a Erwinia amylovora outbreak causing FB. Herein, we report the bloom and harvest dates and tree mortality that developed largely as secondary shoot blight in the summer of 2021. Overall, the cultivars could be classified according to relative susceptibility to FB, based on percentage tree mortality after 7 years: Enterprise (0%); GoldRush and Porter's Perfection (< 20%); Binet Rouge, Kingston Black, Cline Russet, Dabinett, Grimes Golden, Frequin Rouge, Crimson Crisp®, Cox Orange Pippin, and Muscadet De Dieppe (20-40%); Calville Blanc d’Hiver, Bramley's Seedling, Yarlington Mill, Michelin, Bulmers Norman, Stoke Red, Golden Russet, Breakwell, Esopus Spitzenberg (50-90%); and Brown Snout, Medaille d'Or, Michelin, Brown's Apple, Sweet Alford, Tydeman Late, Ashmead’s Kernel, and Tolman (90-100%). This study highlights the importance of selecting FB tolerantt cider cultivars and following best management orchard practices to reduce the spread and prevent infection, which can be achieved by using FB resistant rootstock, controlling rootstock suckers, fire blight prediction models, and limited use of antibiotics, biologicals, and careful nitrogen application to regulate tree vigor.","PeriodicalId":9530,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Plant Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43613528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little is known about the impact of drought priming and nitrogen (N) application and their interactive effects on drought resilience, yield, and grain quality in wheat. Spring wheat (cv. Stettler) was grown in plastic pots (25 cm diameter) with high, moderate, and low soil water levels and received N (added N) or without N (no N added), and subjected to acute drought for 10 days, then rewatering at the tillering stage. Canopy temperature, maximum efficiency of photosystem II, and normalized difference vegetation index were measured at 3-day intervals during drought-recovery periods to quantify drought resistance and resilience. Above-ground dry matter, straw dry matter, seed dry matter, harvest index, and grain N, phosphorus (P), and zinc (Zn) concentrations were determined. Both moderate- and low-water-grown plants had higher drought resistance than high-water-grown plants. The addition of N alleviated acute drought stress in high- and moderate-water-grown plants but exacerbated drought stress in low-water-grown plants. Both high and moderate water resulted in higher grain yields, but had a lower harvest index than low water. The highest and lowest grain N were observed in the low- and high-water-grown plants, respectively. The addition of N increased N and N:P in grains but decreased grain Zn:N. This study showed that moderate drought priming along with N application can improve drought resistance, yield, and grain quality. The results also indicated that canopy thermal imaging is a useful tool for high-throughput quantification of the drought resistance of wheat.","PeriodicalId":9530,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Plant Science","volume":"103 1","pages":"401 - 410"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42873847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to evaluate three methods: soaking whole grains, soaking cracked grains, and injection in three solvents (distilled water, methanol, and acetonitrile) at three toxin concentration levels (1, 5, and 10 µg/g) for facilitating DON absorption in corn grains. The effectiveness of each treatment method and the performance of each solvent in aiding DON absorption were analysed and compared with the recovery rates of DON in the treated corn grains. The treatment methods, solvent, and DON concentration in solvent had significant effect on the recovery rate of DON in treated kernels. Injecting whole grains showed the highest recovery rates of DON (60%–108%) followed by soaking cracked grains (10%–87%) and whole grain (10%–72%) treatment methods. Distilled water showed the highest recovery rates in both soaking (53%–87%) and injection (74%–105%) treatment methods followed by methanol (18%–68% for soaking; 66%–103% for injection) and acetonitrile (10%–36% for soaking; 61%–108% for injection).

In this study, rapid scanning electron microscopy (RSEM) was used to obtain images of the abaxial stomata of 457 maize inbred lines with extensive genetic variation, and the trait of stomata density was obtained by counting. The results showed that stomata density was significantly correlated with ear leaf width. And analysis of variance found that there were significant differences (P value<0.05) in stomata density among different ear leaf width, 100-grain weight, kernel number per row, ear row number and kernel weight per corn. High yield-related lines had higher stomata density than those of low yield-related lines. Moreover, high yield-related leaf shape promotes high kernel weight per corn, and lines with medium stomata density promoted kernel weight per corn significantly. Finally, genome-wide association analysis was performed using a mixed linear model (MLM). It showed that eight SNPs significantly associated with stomata density were obtained, which could explain 35.507% of the phenotypic variation. Among these, four SNPs on chromosome 5 were tightly linked, mainly formatting two haplotypes: CTTA (0.636) and TCCG (0.330). Twelve genes with functional annotation were identified within 100 kb upstream and downstream of the eight SNPs. Of these, GRMZM2G068277 had been shown to be involved in plant mitotic processes and exhibited high expression at the leaf base. The results presented here will provide references for further cloning of functional genes related to stomata density.","PeriodicalId":9530,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Plant Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41532440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
