“…Hall (1992) reported that high temperature stress in sugarcane causes a severe reduction in the first internode length resulting in premature death of plants. Sugarcane plants grown under high temperatures exhibited smaller internodes, increased tillering, early senescence, and reduced total biomass (Ebrahim et al, 1998). In rice, anthesis and fertilization and to a some extent microsporogenesis (booting), are the most susceptible stages to high temperature stress (Satake and Yoshida, 1978;Farrell et al, 2006).…”

The burgeoning population of world is expected to reach about 9-10 billion by the end of year 2050. Due to this rapidly increasing population, food productivity is decreasing. Temperature induced stress is an important environmental factor that influences the growth and development of plants. Both low and high temperatures affect plant growth and development at whole plant level, tissue and cell level and even at sub-cellular level. Temperature variation may affect morphology, anatomy, phenology and plant biochemistry at all levels of organization. Direct injuries due to high temperatures in plants include protein denaturation and aggregation, and increased fluidity of membrane lipids. Indirect or slower high temperature injuries include inactivation of enzymes in chloroplast and mitochondria, inhibition of protein synthesis, protein degradation and loss of membrane integrity. Low temperature stress during reproductive development induces flower abscission, pollen sterility, pollen tube distortion, ovule abortion and reduced fruit set, which ultimately lowers yield. A number of approaches are being used to alleviate the effect of temperature stress in crop plants. Proper plant nutrition is one of the good strategies to alleviate the temperature stress and in crop plants. Plant nutrients play a greater role in improving the temperature stress tolerance. In this paper we discuss the possible effective techniques to alleviate the temperature stress and the role of some macronutrients (nitrogen, potassium, calcium and magnesium) micronutrients (boron, manganese, and selenium) and salicylic acid in detail as how these nutrients play their role in alleviation of temperature stress in crop plant.

“…Studies regarding the effect of high temperature on leaf sucrose concentrations are contradictory in the literature. Heat stress increased accumulation of foliar sucrose in potato mature leaves (Lafta & Lorenzen, 1995) and decreased in sugarcane leaves (Ebrahim et al, 1998). The high sucrose accumulation on leaf of uncovered vines can be associated to its reduced leaf area, since sucrose synthesized in the cytosol can be either temporally stored within leaf or translocated from the leaves to sustain cell maintenance and fuel growth of sink tissues (Taiz & Zeiger, 1991).…”

Physiological and agronomical responses of Syrah grapevine under protected cultivation

The performance of Syrah grapevine under protected cultivation with different plastic films was evaluated during 2012 and 2013 seasons in South of Minas Gerais State. Agronomical and physiological measurements were done on eight years old grapevines, grafted onto '1103 Paulsen' rootstock cultivated under uncovered conditions, covered with transparent and with diffuse plastic films. Both plastic covers induced the highest shoot growth rate and specific leaf area. The diffuse plastic induced greater differences on leaf area, pruning weight and leaf chlorophyll content as compared to uncovered vines. Grapevines under diffuse plastic also had the lowest rates of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration. Leaf starch, glucose and fructose contents were not affected by treatment, but leaf sucrose was reduced by transparent plastic. The leaf and stem water potential were higher under diffuse plastic. In 2013, grapevines under diffuse plastic showed the highest yields mainly due to decreased rot incidence and increased cluster weight. Furthermore, berries under diffuse plastic showed the highest anthocyanins concentration. The use of diffuse plastic induces more agronomical benefits to produce Syrah grape under protected cultivation.

“…The difference between sucrose concentrations in some genotypes is correlated with the difference between the activities of sucrose-phosphate synthase and soluble acid invertase enzymes. Ebrahim et al (1998) and Lingle (1999) showed in their studies that both the activity of SPS and the difference between SPS and soluble acid invertase is correlated with the concentration of sucrose in developing internodes. Botha & Black (2000) demonstrated a positive correlation between SPS activity and the rate of sucrose accumulation and a highly significant correlation between SPS activity and sucrose content.…”
