Understanding the Role of Proline in Plants Proline is one of the most important amino acids in plant physiology, particularly under stress conditions. During drought, salinity, or temperature stress, plants accumulate high levels of proline as a protective compound. It acts as an osmolyte, stabilizing proteins and membranes, scavenging reactive oxygen species, and maintaining cell turgor. ...
Plants exhibit enormous variation in traits relevant to breeding, such as plant height, yield, and resistance to insect pests. One of the greatest challenges in modern plant research is determining which differences in genetic information cause such changes. Recently, researchers at the University of Düsseldorf in Germany and the Carnegie Institution of Science in the United States have ...

Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) decision to register Dow AgroScience’s Enlist Duo herbicide (a combination of glyphosate and 2,4,-D) for use on Enlist corn and soybeans should be overturned because it violates the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA). ...
Monoculture cropping frequently associated with GMOs brings a host of other concerns: loss of biological pest control (requiring more pesticides), reduced soil fertility (requiring more fertilizer), and strain on nutrition and food security when traditional crop varieties are displaced by GM varieties or contaminated by their pollen. ...

Take part in our online debate that will take place on this page on 9 June starting at 1pm British Summer Time (GMT+1). Over two hours, our expert panel will help steer a discussion on why farmers in developing countries are not improving productivity by adopting a greater number of innovative technologies. Delivering food security for everyone on the planet is a monumental challenge. The global ...
This study evaluates the impacts of climate change on rainfed maize (Zea mays) yield and evaluates different agro-adaptation measures to counteract its negative impacts at Sikkim, a Himalayan state of India. Future climate scenarios for the 10 years centered on 2025, 2055 and 2085 were obtained by downscaling the outputs of the HadCM3 General Circulation Model (GCM) under for A2 and B2 ...
Maplecroft produces the Climate Change and Environmental Risk Atlas that informs organizations of areas that are very exposed to climate change. BASF produces drought-tolerant corn varieties. Greenfield Hydroponics Systems created a portable greenhouse that can control sunlight and water flows, which can be used in areas where the weather is expected to become ...
Besides corn, it can also be a serious weed pest in rice, soybean, sugarbeet, cotton, and corn. Integrated weed management techniques can be used for control of barnyardgrass in corn. High populations of this weed can occur in fields of continuous corn. A high population of barnyardgrass may attract an infestation of armyworms, ...
This paper compares international trading patterns for canola, corn and soybean varieties prior to commercialisation of the Genetically Modified (GM) varieties with present trading patterns that include GM varieties. Any marketplace changes that have occurred are analysed to determine the cause for any market shifts. GM canola, ...
The heavy metal tolerance in corn (Zea mays L.) var. ‘Neelum’ was assessed at germination and seedling growth after having subjected it to different concentrations of CuSO4 and ZnSO4. ...
U.S.corn breeders have developed corn varieties that are moredrought-tolerant, enabling corn production to move westward into Kansas,Nebraska, and South Dakota. Kansas, the leading U.S. wheat-producingstate, has used a combination of drought-resistant varieties in some areasand irrigation in others to expand corn ...
