Globally, rice cultivation consumes large amounts of fresh water, and urgent improvements in water use efficiency (WUE) are needed to ensure sustainable production, given increasing water scarcity. While stomatal traits have been a primary focus for enhancing WUE, complex interactions between stomat...

【Background and Objective】Improving water use efficiency in agriculture is a critical to alleviating global water stress. As agriculture consumes approximately 62% of global water, optimizing agricultural water use is essential for sustainable resource management. In the soil-plant-atmosphere contin...

Abstract Water use efficiency (WUE, the ratio of gross primary productivity to evapotranspiration (ET)) is a robust indicator of ecosystem response to climate change, with soil moisture serving as a crucial determinant. Soil moisture varies across soil layers due to ET and soil structure, thereby di...

Myo-inositol and its derivatives play important roles in the tolerance of higher plants to abiotic stresses, and myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (MIPS) is the rate-limiting enzyme in myo-inositol biosynthesis. In this study, we found that increased myo-inositol biosynthesis enhanced drought tolera...

The North China Plain (NCP), one of the most important agricultural regions in China, is facing a major water-resource crisis evoked by excessive exploitation of groundwater. To reduce water use while maintaining high crop production level, improving variety water use efficiency (WUE) is an urgent n...

For a comprehensive understanding of carrot drought tolerance, studying nutrient homeostasis alongside physiochemical modifications, especially under different drought intensities and nutrient supplements is essential. In this work, the effect of soil ammonium nitrate and foliar potassium humate app...

Understanding the spatiotemporal patterns of cropland carbon and carbon water use efficiency (CWUE) and its driving factors is essential for sustainable agricultural development. Based on a multi-source remote sensing dataset, this study applies a trend analysis (Sen + Mann–Kendall), a dual-type ran...

Being the key eco-hydrologic trait linking carbon fixation (photosynthesis) and water consumption (transpiration), water use efficiency (WUE) plays a vital role in the plant-atmosphere continuum. However, ecological drivers and scaling relations on WUE represented at different scales is poorly under...

Salinity stress is a primary abiotic constraint limiting global crop productivity, with progressive soil salinization inducing growth inhibition and physiological dysfunction in plants. Although melatonin (MT) has been extensively documented to enhance stress adaptation, the underlying mechanisms th...

Potato is one of the staple food crops in North China. However, potato production in this region is threatened by the low amount and high spatial-temporal variation of precipitation. Increasing yield and water use efficiency (WUE) of potato by various water management practices under water resource...

Water shortage is a serious issue threatening the sustainable development of agriculture in the North China Plain, with the winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as its largest water-consuming crop. The effects of tillage practices on the water consumption and water use efficiency (WUE) of wheat under...

Full description

Water shortage has threatened sustainable development of agriculture globally as well as in the North China Plain (NCP). Irrigation, as the most effective way to increase food production in dry land, may not be readily available in the situation of drought. One of the alternatives is to supply plant...
