BackgroundSmall RNAs (sRNAs) including microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) serve as core players in gene silencing at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels in plants, but their subcellular localization has not yet been well studied, thus limiting our mechanistic understanding of sRNA action.ResultsWe investigate the cyt...

Bio-inoculants play an important role for sustainable agriculture. Application of nanocompounds in the agriculture sector provides strength and is reported to enhance crop production but the combined effect of nanocompounds and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on plants has not been studied much. Therefore, the present study was planned to obse...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate different traits of four corn (Zea mays) genotypes with contrasting responses to drought and to determine the main traits associated to such responses. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse. The plants were grown in pots subjected to full irrigation. Drought was imposed to plants at 54 d...

ABSTRACT: Given that cadmium (Cd) poses high persistence in the environment and toxicity to humans, strategies to either decrease or avoid Cd entry in the trophic chain are fundamental to secure food safety. Here we assessed the effects of applying rates of Si as a diatomaceous Earth-based fertilizer on the amelioration of Cd toxicity towards maize...

Crops are often subject to intense attacks by pests and diseases. Among them, Maize Lethal Necrosis (MLN) is a serious disease that impact maize crops in many Southern countries. It results from the synergistic interaction of two plant viruses, transmitted by two vectors. In this paper, we develop a general deterministic epidemic model of crop-vect...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the circadian feeding rhythm of the green-belly stink bug (Dichelops melacanthus) on corn (Zea mays), and to correlate it with meteorological parameters. The experiments were conducted in corn fields in the first (summer) and second (fall) crop seasons, in the municipality of Chapecó, in the stat...

The world is faced with significant climate change, rapid urbanization, massive energy consumption, and tremendous pressure to reduce greenhouse gases. Building heating and cooling is one primary source of energy consumption and anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. First, this review presents previous studies that estimate the specific amount of...

Zinc (Zn) is involved in plant growth and stress resistance and is known to increase crop yield. Here, we investigated the effect of Zn on water absorption in the roots of maize (Zea mays L.), a crop which is sensitive to Zn deficiency, during water stress conditions. Seedlings of the maize variety "Zhengdan 958" were cultivated with 0.1 or 6 μM Zn...

Cysteine (Cys) is incorporated into several compounds which are involved in detoxification of heavy metals. It is evident from recent studies that Cys is effective in alleviating the toxicity of heavy metals. Nevertheless, little is known about the Cys-mediated alleviation of chromium (Cr) toxicity. In our study, the impacts of exogenous Cys on Cr-...
