Abstract
Many studies pointed out the deleterious effects of high temperatures events during the crop reproductive phase on seed yield and quality. However, plant responses to repeated stressing events remain poorly understood, while the increased frequency of extreme abiotic constraints, such as spring and summer heat waves, has been proven as one feature of the on-going and future climate change. The responses of oilseed rape plants subjected to three heat stress sequences that differed in the intensity, the timing of application, the duration and the frequency of the high temperature events were investigated throughout the seed development and maturation phases under controlled conditions. Seed yield and components were measured in three different harvest dates. Biochemical and histological analyses of seeds were carried out in order to monitor the evolution of the main storage compounds (fatty acids, proteins, sugars) involved in seed nutritional quality. Although the effects of heat stress were not significant on total yield, differences in seed number and weight highlighted the strong compensation capacity in indeterminate growth species. Heat stress induced significant decreases and increases in seed oil and protein content respectively, to different extent according to the age of the pods. Soluble sugars concentrations were impacted by heat during seed development, but not when the seeds reached physiological maturity, thus indicating compensatory mechanisms that set up after the stress exposure. Our results led to conclude that the effects of repeated heat stresses on seed yield and quality were tightly related to (i) the optimal temperature of a given compound biosynthesis process, and (ii) the synchrony between the temperature event and the period of biosynthesis of the targeted storage compound. These results highlight the complexity to design thermo-sensitizing protocols to maintain or even improve the various seed quality related criteria, especially in species with indeterminate growth.

Adaptation Strategies to Improve the Resistance of Oilseed Crops to Heat Stress Under a Changing Climate: An Overview. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2021; 12:767150. [PMID: 34975951 PMCID: PMC8714756 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2021.767150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/11/2021] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Temperature is one of the decisive environmental factors that is projected to increase by 1. 5°C over the next two decades due to climate change that may affect various agronomic characteristics, such as biomass production, phenology and physiology, and yield-contributing traits in oilseed crops. Oilseed crops such as soybean, sunflower, canola, peanut, cottonseed, coconut, palm oil, sesame, safflower, olive etc., are widely grown. Specific importance is the vulnerability of oil synthesis in these crops against the rise in climatic temperature, threatening the stability of yield and quality. The natural defense system in these crops cannot withstand the harmful impacts of heat stress, thus causing a considerable loss in seed and oil yield. Therefore, a proper understanding of underlying mechanisms of genotype-environment interactions that could affect oil synthesis pathways is a prime requirement in developing stable cultivars. Heat stress tolerance is a complex quantitative trait controlled by many genes and is challenging to study and characterize. However, heat tolerance studies to date have pointed to several sophisticated mechanisms to deal with the stress of high temperatures, including hormonal signaling pathways for sensing heat stimuli and acquiring tolerance to heat stress, maintaining membrane integrity, production of heat shock proteins (HSPs), removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS), assembly of antioxidants, accumulation of compatible solutes, modified gene expression to enable changes, intelligent agricultural technologies, and several other agronomic techniques for thriving and surviving. Manipulation of multiple genes responsible for thermo-tolerance and exploring their high expressions greatly impacts their potential application using CRISPR/Cas genome editing and OMICS technology. This review highlights the latest outcomes on the response and tolerance to heat stress at the cellular, organelle, and whole plant levels describing numerous approaches applied to enhance thermos-tolerance in oilseed crops. We are attempting to critically analyze the scattered existing approaches to temperature tolerance used in oilseeds as a whole, work toward extending studies into the field, and provide researchers and related parties with useful information to streamline their breeding programs so that they can seek new avenues and develop guidelines that will greatly enhance ongoing efforts to establish heat stress tolerance in oilseeds.

Abstract
Raindrop-induced crusting of mineral soils supporting wheat ( L.) in the semiarid US Pacific Northwest reduces seedling establishment of late summer-seeded winter crops during dry, hot conditions. Canola ( L.) integration is diversifying regional food, feed and fuel global markets. Subsequent shifts in recycled crop residue characteristics, including Si and crop fiber, may shift soil characteristics of traditional wheat-dominated systems, potentially affecting their propensity to form soil crusts. In a greenhouse study, wheat and canola were fertilized with varying N rates. Increased N supply increased transpiration, shoot weight, and hemicellulose and cellulose yields, but with only minor increases in shoot Si and lignin yields. Both crops had similar increases in root Si with greater N-stimulated transpiration. Two subsequent soil incubations were conducted to determine how Si, N fertilization, and crop residues from wheat and canola affected soil properties. In the first incubation, Si was applied as aqueous HSiO, which increased soil amorphous and water-soluble Si (Si and Si), physical resistance, and crust thickness. Electron micrographs showed increased amorphous material, presumably a Si precipitate, on soil particles with increased Si application. Second, two Ritzville soils were treated with the canola or wheat shoot residues with and without N fertilizer. Nitrogen lowered soil pH, Si, Si, surface resistance, and crust thickness; however, first-time application of crop residue types had no short-term effect on these parameters. Any impacts of lower Si returned by lower Si crop residues on soil physical properties likely require several rotational cycles of Si crop uptake and residue returns.
