Drought and Maize Breeding

Abstract

Tension caused by a lack of water (water stress or drought stress) represents the continuous and continuous threat to the survival of the plant, as many of the plants in which phenotypic or physiological modification takes place may not be able to continue and remain in the environment in which they live due to the water stress on it or the low soil moisture content. This of course is related to the prevailing weather conditions (lack of rain, high temperature, increased wind speed, low relative humidity in the atmosphere … etc.), so dry soil is defined as the shortage of soil water needed to the extent that its readiness for the plant decreases (that is, the threshold at which the plant cannot absorb Or drain the water at a speed that meets its requirements for vital activities, and photosynthesis that meets the requirements of evapotranspiration does not occur. Conversely, water tightening may be the result of increased water. An example of stretching as a result of increased water is flooding, which results in suffocation resulting from Reduced concentration of oxygen-prepared oxygen to the roots, which in turn will impair breathing. In general, tension due to a lack of water is the most common, which led specialists to call it “water deficit stress.” Because water tension occurs in natural environments as a result of rain entrapping, Such conditions are known as drought conditions and therefore drought stress is terme In laboratory conditions, water stress conditions can be achieved through the loss of water by transpiration from the leaves, a circumstance that is due to what is termed as a desiccation stress. That is, in the sense that water stress is one of the components of salt tension and osmotic tension, and in order to unify these differences according to the concept of water tension, it termed the concept of low water potential.

Evaluation of the Performance of Single Cross Maize Hybrids and Their Parents in the Spring and Autumn Seasons

“…Thus, there is an inverse relationship between these two important components of the main yield, meaning an increase in one reduces the other. These results are consistent with previous studies of [34][35][36][37].…”

Antifungal Properties of Nanosilver Clay Composites Against Fungal Pathogens of Agaricus bisporus

“…aggressivum ) [4–10] . Most mushroom growers employ various methods to control mycopathogens, including strict hygiene, steam sterilization, and chemical fungicide treatments [1,11] . Fungicides such as prochloraz‐Mn, benomyl, chlorothalonil, thiabendazole, and carbendazim have been used in mushroom cultivation.…”

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Most mushroom growers employ various methods to control mycopathogens, including strict hygiene, steam sterilization, and chemical fungicide treatments. [1,11] Fungicides such as prochloraz-Mn, benomyl, chlorothalonil, thiabendazole, and carbendazim have been used in mushroom cultivation. Repeatedly using the same antifungal agents to control mycopathogens can result in resistant strains or strains with reduced sensitivity.…”
