The authors reviewed the characteristics and history of agroecology’s development. The review pointed out the research areas that were getting more attention, both at large (macroscopic) and small (microscopic) scales.

Chilling stress, one of the most important limiting environmental factors, delays plants growth and development and reduces crops yield. Chilling stress causes cell membrane damage, which triggers an excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide (O2-), hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). ROS are cytotoxic compounds...

To determine the effects of temperature change on photosynthesis and growth development of wheat, seedlings were subjected to UV-B radiation under different temperature. Photosynthesis parameters (photosynthesis and net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, carboxylation efficiency, etc.) and biomass were determined. The results indicated that photosynthesis parameters and biomass increased with temperature until...

In order to determine the effects of magnetic fields on the structure of root, stem and leaf under Cd stress in Mung bean (Vigna radiata), changes in the leaf conductivity, root length, shoot length, fresh weight, chlorophyll concentration and structure of root, stem and leaf were analyzed. The results indicated...

The Loess Plateau is the birthplace of Chinese agricultural civilization, which covers an area about 640,000 square kilometers and is home to about 100 million people. Since the founding of New China, the government has paid great attention to the sustainable development of the Loess Plateau. In order to consolidate...

To determine the effects of different doses of UV-B on the yield and quality of Scutellaria baicalensis under elevated CO2, S. baicalensis seedlings of 60 days old were exposed to elevated CO2 concentration for 60 days at different UV-B doses. The results indicated: (1) the activity of MDA, SOD and...
