This study investigated the effect of Guided Inquiry (GI) on pre-service teachers' academic achievement and retention in photosynthesis. A quasi-experimental research design was used with 65 pre-service teachers, where 3...

To evaluate the influence of different intensities of water deficit and rehydration on water relations and gas exchanges of Bauhinia forficata Link, plants were grown in a greenhouse for three months under the following ...

Phosphorus (P) is an essential mineral nutrient for plants, playing central roles in development, growth, and environmental responses. In the soil, P is available in the form of inorganic phosphate (Pi), which, once inco...

IntroductionUnder current climate change conditions, agronomic yield is compromised by limited water availability and sudden drought events throughout the plant cycle. Among the tools to overcome drought stress, benefici...

Abstract Background Optimizing the seeding rate is critical for wheat productivity. However, excessive densification often compromises individual photosynthetic efficiency to maximize canopy light interception, creating ...

Water limitation represents the main environmental constraint affecting crop yield worldwide. Photosynthesis is a primary drought target, resulting in over-reduction of the photosynthetic electron transport chain and inc...

This study investigated whether fertilization with urea or ammonium sulfate could mitigate the growth limitations of sorghum imposed by alkaline-saline-sodic (ASS) soils. We hypothesized that the application of these nit...

The selection of sustainable and effective covering systems is essential in greenhouses to ensure optimal insulation, microclimate control, energy management, and proper solar irradiance filtration for plant growth. This...

Abstract Background Microhabitat heterogeneity plays a crucial role in shaping plant water use strategies and ecophysiological processes in arid ecosystems, yet little is known about the coupled response of leaf water is...

Cystoliths are phytoliths of silica and calcium carbonate and are produced in a few groups of dicotyledonous angiosperms. Anatomical and, more recently, phytolith studies have recorded them in different families. In the ...

Greenand variegated Benjamin fig (Ficus benjamina) often suffer from rootrestriction when grown in pots. While exogenous cytokinin applications haveproven effective in reversing this stress, the possibility that exogenou...

Wheat is the most widely grown food crop, with 761 Mt produced globally in 2020. To meet the expected grain demand by mid-century, wheat breeding strategies must continue to improve upon yield-advancing physiological tra...

A reminder, a review and a look toward the future pros‐ pects for quantum dot-sensitized solar cells — a reminder of the highly viable, energy-efficient solar cells achievable; a review of ground-breaking devices and...

Abstract Background Terpenes and phenolic compounds are multifunctional plant metabolites that contribute to defense, signaling, and ecological interactions, while supporting industrial applications. Here, we implemented...

Abstract Mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs) are natural sunscreens synthesized by a wide range of organisms. Although the induction of MAA production by ultraviolet radiation is well established, the signaling pathway...

Ulva lacinulata constitutes a critical yet often overlooked component of Mediterranean eutrophicated coasts. Investigating its physiological responses to weather events may enable environmental management and aquaculture...

Salt stress limits plant production in arid and semi-arid zones. Although Na2SO4 is frequent in saline soils, most studies on plant physiological responses to salt stress were conducted using NaCl. This study aimed to de...

The objective of the present study was to determine the Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI) effect on the cv. Frantoio olive tree, under semiarid mediterranean weather condtions (8 months dry period). The trial was establ...

The opening and closing of stomata are controlled by the integration of environmental and endogenous signals. Here, we show the effects of combining elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (eCO2; 600 μmol mol-...

Heme (iron protoporphyrin IX) is an important molecule involved in many biological reactions, including oxygen transport, respiration, photosynthesis and drug detoxification. Trypanosoma cruzi parasites, the etiological ...

Background: Histone methylation modifies the epigenetic state of target genes to regulate gene expression in the context of developmental and environmental changes. Previously, we used a positive genetic screen to identi...

Antimony (Sb), a toxic and potentially carcinogenic element, can readily accumulate in rice, posing challenges to both food safety and agricultural production. Building upon the previous study on the highly antimony-tole...

Abstract Background Cycas panzhihuaensis, as a national first-class protected plant, has long been threatened by dual high-temperature and drought stress. Photosynthesis is a key target of dual high-temperature and droug...

Abstract Background Understanding the association between birds, zoonotic infections, and urban environments is increasingly important due to industrialization and emerging zoonoses. Investigating the diversity, structur...
