Wheat, in particular, is one of the most important staple crops consumed globally, accounting for a significant portion of the world’s food supply. Wheat kernels are composed of three main parts, bran, germ, and endosperm, which are milled into flour used to make various food products, including bread, pasta, cakes, and cookies.

The present investigation was planned to introgress novel alleles governing better alleles for traits of thousand grain weight (TGW), grain length (GL) and grain width (GW) from thirteen tetraploid accessions of wild emmer wheat (WEW) <i>Triticum dicoccoides</i> into five cultivated bread wheat varieties.

Therefore, the present study aimed at measuring the amount of dry matter accumulation and remobilization in different internodes, as well as evaluating the possible associations between the two parameters at the internode level. Moreover, the influence of the stored reserves on the grain yield of wheat cultivars grown under contrasting conditions was examined. Eighteen cultivars were evaluated under well-watered (WW) and terminal drought stress (DS) conditions at a Mediterranean climate during 2007–2009, as well as under WW conditions in a subtropical climate during 2014–2015. Time-dependent changes in the weights of the internodes were measured after anthesis. The highest mean of dry matter accumulation and remobilization and contribution percentage of reserves to grain yield were observed in the lower internodes, followed by the penultimate and peduncle. The maximum weight of each stem internode generally correlated positively with the remobilized dry matter of that internode. Grain weight per spike was not related to dry matter remobilization of the internodes under all WW conditions. However, a significantly positive correlation was found between this trait and dry matter remobilization of the lower internodes under DS condition of the Mediterranean climate.

The current research investigates the protective role of silicon forms, namely kaolin (Al₄Si₄O₁₀ (OH)₈) and potassium silicate (K₂SiO₃) in alleviating the harmful impacts of water-deficit stress on maize. There are not sufficient reports on the protective role of these two silicon forms in alleviating water stress in maize. Maize genotypes: R-2315 (tolerant) and R-2317 (susceptible) were grown in plastic pots and water stress (60% field capacity) was applied at silking stage for 7 days. After imposition of water stress, 4% kaolin and 0.06% K₂SiO₃ was sprayed on plants. After 14 days of application of kaolin and K₂SiO₃, samples were collected. Under water stress, the treatment of kaolin and K₂SiO₃ significantly (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.001) enhanced the shoot length, root length, shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, in both maize genotypes (R-2315 and R-2317). Furthermore, applications of kaolin and K₂SiO₃ significantly improved stomatal conductance (<i>g</i>_s), rate of photosynthesis (<i>A</i>), transpiration rate (<i>E</i>), and relative water contents (RWC) under applied water stress. Treatments of kaolin and K₂SiO₃ also showed a significant decrease in oxidative stress parameters like malondialdehyde, relative membrane permeability and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) contents by increasing activities of enzymatic antioxidants such as peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase, non-enzymatic antioxidant (anthocyanins, flavonoids, ascorbic acid), and osmolytes (proline, total free amino acids, total soluble proteins, anthocyanin), under water deficit stress. Conclusively, among treatments and genotypes, application of K₂SiO₃ and R-2315 showed maximum improvement in growth, morphological and biochemical attributes under water stress.

This research explores the impact of Nano-SiO₂ and mycorrhiza on wheat, aiming to mitigate drought effects. A two-year experiment was carried out with three factors and three replications. The factors were the interruption of irrigation (control, stopping irrigation at the end of the booting stage and stopping irrigation at the end of the flowering stage), foliar application of Nano-SiO₂ (0, 40 and 80 mg L⁻¹) and mycorrhiza application (0 and 200 kg ha⁻¹). The results indicated that drought stress decreased leaf area index, variable fluorescence (Fv), Fv/maximum fluorescence (Fm), stomatal conductance, net photosynthesis, sub stomatal CO₂ concentration and grain yield. Drought stress increased the grain protein percentage, and stomatal density. Application of Nano-SiO₂ and mycorrhiza increased grain yield. Nano-SiO₂ balances stomatal conductance and makes plants more drought-resistant by increasing the amount of silicon in leaves, leading to improved yield. Conversely, mycorrhiza may have played an important role in absorbing phosphorus and other elements from the soil in addition to absorbing moisture, which ultimately resulted in a drought-resistant plant. The combined treatment of mychorriza + foliar application of Nano-SiO₂ (80 mg L⁻¹) increased grain yield by 39.43% under severe drought conditions (stopping irrigation at the end of the booting stage). In summary, the soil application of mycorrhiza and foliar Nano-SiO₂ is recommended for wheat production in regions where water deficit is a common issue during late-season wheat growth stages. Exploring the utilization of Nano-SiO₂ over an extended period throughout the wheat growth, alongside mycorrhiza application, appears to offer promising prospects for future research.
