• Exogenous Salicylic Acid Improves Storage Root Yield of Drought‐Stressed Sweet Potato via Enhancing Antioxidant Efficiency (2026) · Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science · doi

  ABSTRACT Although exogenous salicylic acid (SA) has the potential to assist sweet potatoes in coping with drought stress (DS), the specific effects on leaf antioxidant metabolism and storage root yield during the bulking stage remain poorly understood.

• Foliar Salicylic Acid Modulates Watermelon Responses to Deficit Irrigation at Different Phenological Stages (2026) · Agriculture · doi

  Consequently, the interactions among SA concentration, the phenological stage at which water deficit occurs, and regulated deficit irrigation remain poorly understood under field conditions, particularly in semi-arid environments. It is important to emphasize that studies evaluating foliar salicylic acid (SA) application in combination with regulated deficit irrigation imposed at different phenological stages under field conditions remain scarce.

• Exogenous salicylic acid and fluridone reprogram carbon allocation in storage roots to alleviate drought-induced yield loss in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) (2026) · Journal of Integrative Agriculture · doi

  Although exogenous salicylic acid (SA) and the abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis inhibitor fluridone can mitigate drought-induced yield losses, the mechanisms by which they enhance drought resistance through regulating carbon allocation remain unclear.
