Summary: Silicon (Si) and biochar (Bc) are important signaling conditioners that improve plant metabolic processes and enhance drought tolerance. The integrated application of Bc and Si under water restrictions can lessen the negative effects of drought on plant growth and productivity by promoting antioxidant capacity, regulating water status, and increasing chlorophyll assimilation. These findings highlight the significance of Si and/or Bc as stress-signaling molecules in regulating defensive systems in drought-affected plants.

Summary: The experiment found that low-temperature stress led to rapid closure of stomata and a 21% decline in net photosynthesis. When elevated CO2 interacted with low-temperature stress, chlorophylls and carotenoids decreased. Under high-temperature stress, basil showed increased stomatal conductance, intercellular CO2 concentration, apparent quantum yield, maximum photosystem II efficiency, and maximum net photosynthesis rate. Increasing the growth temperature from 30/22 degrees C to 38/30 degrees C under elevated CO2 significantly increased the antioxidants content of basil.

Summary: Drought has a significant negative impact on wheat production, but silicon supplementation can enhance wheat resistance to drought stress. In this study, the effects of foliar supplementation of silicon on wheat under drought stress at different growth stages were investigated. It was found that moderate water deficit reduced wheat growth and increased osmolyte content and lipid peroxidation. However, silicon application at the anthesis and filling stages improved wheat growth, antioxidant activity, and soluble sugar content, ultimately leading to increased yield. Overall, foliar silicon supplementation, especially at the reproductive stage, effectively alleviated drought-induced yield reduction in wheat.

Summary: By examining atmospheric CO2 measurements from satellites, this study reveals the recurrent end-of-dry-season CO2 pulses over the Australian continent, which largely control the year-to-year variability of Australia's CO2 balance. These pulses cause significantly larger seasonal variations compared with previous estimates. They are driven by enhanced soil respiration following rainfall in Australia's semiarid regions. The findings highlight the importance of soil-rewetting processes in understanding and modeling global climate-carbon cycle feedbacks.

Summary: CR60, a spontaneous variant of Yunyan 87 tobacco, accumulates higher concentration of iron in leaves and exhibits higher tolerance to Fe deficiency compared to Y87. Transcriptome analysis revealed that CR60 maintains sufficient Fe uptake, chlorophyll biosynthesis, and photosynthetic rate under Fe-starvation conditions.

Summary: The postharvest treatment with 6-BA at different concentrations can delay the aging process and maintain the quality of Chinese flowering cabbage. Treatment with 20 and 40 mg/L of 6-BA showed the best effect, reducing leaf yellowing and weight loss, maintaining chlorophyll and antioxidant capacity, and suppressing the decline in ascorbic acid and soluble protein. Additionally, 6-BA treatment upregulated antioxidant gene expression and enzyme activities, while inhibiting the expression of senescence-related and chlorophyll degradation genes.

Summary: Elevated CO2 could compensate for the negative effect of drought on leaf area and aboveground biomass of broomcorn millet, attributed to the direct stimulation in photosynthesis due to increased carbon uptake. Elevated CO2 significantly enhanced water-use efficiency of broomcorn millet, especially under drought condition.

Summary: In recent years, drought stress caused by global warming has become a major constraint on agriculture. This study extracted MsTHI1 from alfalfa and demonstrated its beneficial impact on improving the resistance of plants to stress conditions. MsTHI1 enhances drought tolerance by strengthening photosynthesis, regulating the antioxidant defense system, maintaining osmotic homeostasis, and mediating plant signal transduction.

Summary: Understanding the effects of different processing methods, such as freeze drying, hot air drying, water boiling, steaming, and pickling, on the physical character, total polyphenols, anthocyanin profile, and antioxidant activity of red cabbage is important. The study found that different processing methods resulted in changes in color and texture, and pickling showed the highest values of total polyphenols and DPPH scavenge activity. Water boiling, steaming, and pickling decreased the loss of most anthocyanins in red cabbage compared to drying processes. The study suggested that drying significantly reduced the phytochemical content in red cabbage, and water boiling, steaming, and pickling were recommended methods for daily consumption, with steaming being the best way to retain anthocyanins.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of potassium iodide (KI) in mitigating water deficits and improving fruit quality in tomatoes. The results showed that a concentration of 100 μM of KI increased the yield of tomatoes under a water deficit condition, and also improved antioxidant activity and photosynthetic efficiency, while reducing malondialdehyde levels. Additionally, this concentration of KI promoted better fruit quality through increased antioxidant capacity and a decline in the maturation index.

Summary: In this study, the use of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) as seed priming agents for enhancing drought tolerance in tomatoes was investigated. Four different SeNPs priming regimes were tested at different concentrations, along with a control treatment. The results showed that seed priming with 75 ppm SeNPs improved tomato crop performance under drought stress. The treatment reduced hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde levels, while increasing the functions of superoxide dismutase and catalase. Additionally, it increased the content of various beneficial compounds in tomatoes and upregulated the functions of enzymes involved in antioxidant defense. Seed priming with SeNPs is a promising strategy for sustainable tomato production in arid areas.
