Abstract

As a result of the increase in global temperature, cowpeas have been predicted to be one of the crops to face more frequent exposures to heat stress. This study investigates the effect of heat stress on stress-tolerant cowpea cultivars (Ifebrown-IF, Danila-DN, and Alokalocal-AK) from seed germination to early vegetative growth. Cultivars were exposed to different temperature regimes (27±3°C, 37±3°C) for 40 days and nights. IF and DN cultivars had early seed germination at both temperature regimes in comparison to the AK cultivar, which had delayed germination at 27±3°C. At the early vegetative growth stage, increased proline content, reduced oxidative stress, relative leaf temperature, stomatal conductance, reduced transpiration rates, and photosynthesis rates shifted each cultivar to the temperature of interest. Both temperature regimes favored DN and AK cultivars, while only 27±3°C supported IF cultivars, with evidence in their chlorophyll content, leaf area (LA), plant height (PH), fresh-shoot weight (FSW), and dry-shoot weight (DSW) in comparison to IF cultivars that had poor growth at 37±3°C. Thus, temperatures of interest are important to ensure tolerance of specific cowpea cultivars from seed germination to early vegetative growth under heat stress.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to estimate and determine the in-situ transpiration dynamics of three oil palm varieties, which include DxP Langkat, DyP Dumpy, and DxP PPKS 540, using the Ratio Method (HRM) to measure real-time sap flow (SF). Field observations in Adolina, North Sumatra, were conducted in September, October, and December 2023 to collect data on macro- and microweather and soil moisture at varying distances from sample trees. Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and solar radiation (QS) were among the key environmental factors that had strong associations with SF. Up to 82.24% of SF variability was explained by VPD and QS. DxP PPKS 540 recorded the highest transpiration rate of 1.70 mm/day because it had a higher leaf area (9.00 m2), and a bigger petiole cross-section (52.50 cm2). DxP Langkat, on the other hand, had the lowest transpiration rate at 1.49 mm/day. The results indicated the significance of VPD and QS in controlling sap flow and suggested that transpiration varied among varieties. This study provides an understanding of the physiological variation among oil palm varieties and a basis for future use in determining genotypes with increased drought resistance and adaptability to enhance resilience in new climatic conditions.

Abstract

Bemisia tabaci is a major pest of soybeans and a vector of plant viruses. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of four entomopathogenic fungi for suppressing B. tabaci populations on soybeans. The four treatments were L. lecanii, A. aleyrodis, M. anisopliae, and B. bassiana, a comparison with the insecticide thiamethoxam and a control group without treatment. The four types tested were able to suppress B. tabaci populations by up to 75%, with A. aleyrodis being especially effective. There was no significant difference in efficacy between the four types and the insecticide thiamethoxam. Validating the efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi, there were no significant differences in plant height, dry stover weight, or number of pods between treatments with the insecticide thiamethoxam. However, significant differences occurred in the number of empty pods and seed weight, reducing yield losses by up to 78%. There was a positive correlation between the B. tabaci population and the number of empty pods (r = 0.80), while there was a negative correlation between the B. tabaci population and plant height and soybean yield (r = -0.56 and r = -0.54, respectively).

Abstract

Selenium (Se) is crucial to human health, especially in the immune system and natural defense mechanisms. However, selenium levels in soils are generally low and vary with parent material. Soil deterioration and intensive agricultural activities are among the main factors that contribute to selenium depletion in the soil. Consequently, there is a need to cultivate enriched crops. This study examined the effects of different forms of selenium on plant uptake when used as a foliar spray. Lettuce plants did not show significant differences in weight, height, or leaf number when exposed to different selenium types. However, plants that received the highest level of selenium had fewer leaves but accumulated the highest levels. A further study was conducted in a glasshouse to examine the impact of applying Se, Zn, and a combination of both as foliar fertilizers on the dry matter, crop growth, and uptake by lettuce grown in mineral soil. Results showed that applying selenium and zinc to lettuce leaves improved the content of both minerals compared to the control. No negative effects on growth or yield occurred despite the plants receiving high concentrations of selenium and zinc as foliar fertilizer.

Abstract

Microgreens are popular culinary ingredients due to their higher nutrient and antioxidant content compared to their mature counterparts. This study was conducted to enhance the seed germination, growth, and yield of basil as a microgreen. The study was divided into two experiments: the first involved basil seeds treated with six chitosan concentrations, including 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1% v/v. In the second experiment, the seeds were planted at three densities: 110, 220, and 330 g/m². Based on the results, increasing in concentration of chitosan to an extent led to an increase in seed germination and microgreen growth performances, where 0.6% was the best out of all the treatments as it recorded the highest germination percentage (65%), germination speed (6.918 seeds per day), seed vigour index (4807), seedling height (7.40 cm), root length (3.60 cm), stem diameter (0.56 mm) and leaf area (0.62 cm²). In addition, 220 g/m² was found to be the optimal planting density among the three treatments, due to increased yield and a marketable appearance. Future research is needed to evaluate the nutritional and phytochemical contents.

Abstract

Sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) is a versatile Indonesia-native species widely distributed across the archipelago. It can function as a water-conserving plant and provides low-glycemic-index sugar (GI 35.56) from palm sap, allowing safer consumption by people with diabetes. An early-maturing variety, endemic to East Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan Province, has been designated a National Early-Maturing Superior Variety and is promoted as a leading commodity. However, cultivation is constrained by slow seed germination, which may take about two years because of strong seed dormancy. Sugar palm seeds can remain dormant due to morphophysiological, physical, and physiological constraints that inhibit water uptake, embryo growth, and metabolic activation. Previous studies have attempted to accelerate germination using mechanical scarification, chemical treatments, immersion in water at controlled temperatures (stratification), and applications of growth regulators at various concentrations. Reported germination success for scarification ranges from 52.00% to 73.00%, indicating room for improvement. This article reviews and identifies practical approaches to accelerate palm seed germination, emphasizing that effective dormancy-breaking innovations are essential to supply planting material for expanding sugar palm plantations and improving crop production. Such improvements could shorten nursery cycles, enhance seedling uniformity, and strengthen farmer adoption.

Abstract

This study evaluated the predatory potential and functional responses of the different stages of the yellow netted lady beetle (YNLB), Heteroneda billardieri, against all nymphal instars of the mango leafhopper (MLH) in the laboratory. The 3rd instar larva and the female and male adults of YNLB were offered varying densities of MLH in vials, and the number of consumed MLH was recorded after 24 hours. The prey-consumption data were analyzed using logistic regression to estimate the age-specific functional response to MLH. Results showed that the 3rd instar H. billardieri has the highest predatory capability relative to the adult predators. At the highest prey density, 3rd instar larvae consumed 14.67 and 15.33 of the 2nd and 3rd instar MLH, respectively. It also has the highest attack rate and shortest handling time, with values of 0.089 and 0.71, respectively. All tested stages of H. billardieri exhibit a Type II functional response, characterized by a curvilinear increase in predation rates with increasing prey density. The results imply that the field releases using the 3rd instar H. billardieri can achieve the highest biological control efficiency. However, field studies should be conducted to verify these results.

Abstract

The ability of cycads to grow in harsh environments is thought to be associated with endophytic bacteria in their roots. This study aimed to characterize endophytic bacteria from Cycas rumphii and Dioon spinulosum as stress-tolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Fine roots of C. rumphii and D. spinulosum were isolated using serial dilution plating and characterized through colony morphological observation, hypersensitivity, antagonistic activity, PGP activity, and abiotic stress tolerance assays. Fourteen isolates were obtained (eight from C. rumphii and six from D. spinulosum), with higher abundance and diversity in D. spinulosum (2.51 × 10¹⁰ CFU/g; H′ = 2.016) than C. rumphii (4.64 × 10⁹ CFU/g; H′ = 1.752). All isolates were non-pathogenic; 92% fixed nitrogen, 92% solubilized phosphate, and one (DS1A) produced IAA (0.200 ppm). Four isolates showed antagonism against Xanthomonas campestris (0.40–0.67 cm inhibition) and tolerance to drought, salinity (5–10%), and moderate heat, with growth at pH 5–6. Molecular identification by 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that CR1A, CR1B, and DS1B belong to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, whereas DS1A belongs to Bacillus sp. These findings highlight cycads as a source of endophytic PGPB candidates for supporting plant health, particularly when grown in the environmental stress condition areas.

Abstract

Soil salinization is a significant constraint to global food security, with rice (Oryza sativa L.) being particularly prone to salinity stress. As a sustainable mitigation approach, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) are potential candidates for improving crop tolerance. This study investigates the performance of PGPR strain Enterobacter cloacae UIA3, noted for producing indole-3-acetic acid and nutrient solubilization, in establishing a symbiotic relationship with rice under salinity conditions. Three rice varieties, Pokkali, MR297, and IR64, under four salinity levels (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM NaCl) were analyzed for physiological response and symbiotic compatibility. A host-specific interaction was observed where the salt-tolerant Pokkali variety showed a strong positive association through enhanced root hair development and significant improvement in the growth of inoculated plants under stress. However, the salt-sensitive varieties of MR297 and IR64 showed severe root damage and exhibited minimal bacterial colonization. This indicates that the performance of E. cloacae UIA3 is effective mainly as bio-inoculation in salt-tolerant rice genotypes. Thus, host specificity is indispensable in the microbial strategy for saline agriculture. Overall, the results highlight avenues for PGPR strain E. cloacae UIA3 as an environmentally friendly bioinoculant under saline environments.

Abstract

Conserving, cultivating, and categorizing the traditional vegetable varieties is crucial for future food security, as they serve as reservoir of biodiversity. Among that, sweet pepper is an important food crop as it is rich in nutrients. Its demand in India is continuously increasing, highlighting the need to characterize and to evaluate its morphological diversity to improve varietal development programs. Characterizing sweet pepper germplasm can improve breeding programs by selecting parents based on morphological attributes. Forty two genotypes of sweet pepper collected and multiplied from PAU, Ludhiana exhibited the distinct variation for majority of the examined phenotypic traits. Flower morphology with white corolla, pale blue anther along with semi-drooping orientation leads to good fruit set. Square-shaped fruits were predominant and had high consumer preference. Principal component analysis revealed that PC1, PC3, PC8, PC9, PC10, PC14, and PC15 were dominating with fruit attributes Whereas, PC2, PC4, PC6, PC7, PC11, PC12, PC13, and PC16 were pronounced for plant traits and PC5 exhibited dominance for floral attributes. Further cluster analysis revealed that genetic diversity prevailed among the genotypes for morphological attributes aiming the selection of elite parents that can be successfully utilized in the breeding programs as well as conservation of the genotypes for the future.
