Journal ArticleDOI
Alleviation of adverse effects of drought stress on growth and some potential physiological attributes in maize (Zea mays L.) by seed electromagnetic treatment.
TL;DR: Overall, preseed electromagnetic treatments could be used to minimize the drought‐induced adverse effects on different crop plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ability of ellagic acid to alleviate osmotic stress on chickpea seedlings.
TL;DR: It is suggested that treatment with ellagic acid could confer an increased tolerance of chickpea seedlings to osmotic stress, through reducing levels of H2O2 and increasing antioxidant capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Planning for food security in a changing climate
TL;DR: This thesis is that an integrated research plan merging agronomic and genetic approaches has the greatest probability of success and presents a template for a research plan based on the lessons learned from the Green Revolution and from the development of genetically engineered crops to meet this expectation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptome Analysis of Drought-Resistant and Drought-Sensitive Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) Genotypes in Response to PEG-Induced Drought Stress.
TL;DR: A set of drought-regulated genes are revealed, including many genes encoding uncharacterized proteins that are associated with drought tolerance at the seedling stage of sorghum, including transcription factors, signaling and stress-related proteins implicated in drought tolerance in other crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of the SARS-CoV-2 on the Italian agri-food sector: an analysis of the quarter of pandemic lockdown and clues for a socio-economic and territorial restart
TL;DR: The recent outbreak of a new Coronavirus has developed into a global pandemic with about 10 5 million reported cases and over 500,000 deaths worldwide as discussed by the authors, with a specific focus on the primary production, to be understood as agriculture (i e, crops and livestock, and their food products), fisheries, and forestry.

Introduction to quantitative genetics
TL;DR: The genetic constitution of a population: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and changes in gene frequency: migration mutation, changes of variance, and heritability are studied.
Journal Article
Human biochemical genetics
TL;DR: For the next few weeks the course is going to be exploring a field that’s actually older than classical population genetics, although the approach it’ll be taking to it involves the use of population genetic machinery.

Roles of glycine betaine and proline in improving plant abiotic stress resistance
Muhammad Ashraf,Majid R. Foolad +1 more
TL;DR: In this review article, numerous examples of successful application of these compounds to improve plant stress tolerance are presented and a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of exogenously applied GB and proline is expected to aid their effective utilization in crop production in stress environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two transcription factors, DREB1 and DREB2, with an EREBP/AP2 DNA binding domain separate two cellular signal transduction pathways in drought- and low-temperature-responsive gene expression, respectively, in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: Overexpression of the DREB1A cDNA in transgenic Arabidopsis plants not only induced strong expression of the target genes under unstressed conditions but also caused dwarfed phenotypes in the transgenic plants, and revealed freezing and dehydration tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought and Salt Tolerance in Plants
TL;DR: The responses of plants to salt and water stress are described, the regulatory circuits which allow plants to cope with stress are presented, and how the present knowledge can be applied to obtain tolerant plants is discussed.
