Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of overlapping abiotic stresses, making cross-tolerance a critical component of plant resilience. While single stress responses have been extensively characterized, plants in natural and agricultural environments frequently encounter simultaneous or sequential stresses such as drought–heat, light–drought, and drought–salinity, which trigger nonadditive and often unpredictable physiological outcomes that vary with stress intensity, timing, and species. This review synthesizes current understanding of the mechanisms underlying cross-tolerance, emphasizing how contradictory…
Soil salinization is an increasingly severe global issue, posing a significant threat to crop growth and food security. Although sorghum exhibits moderate tolerance to saline-alkali stress, it remains highly sensitive to such conditions during the seedling stage. This study investigates the mechanisms by which zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) alleviate saline-alkali stress in sorghum seedlings and determines their optimal application concentration, thereby providing a scientific basis for agricultural production in saline-alkali soils. Hydroponic experiments were…
This study was conducted to determine the effects of paclobutrazol (PBZ) application methods and dosages on the growth, leaf, flower, and color characteristics of Silene compacta Fisch., a natural species with high potential for use as a seasonal bedding and potted ornamental plant in landscape design.

The study was arranged in a completely randomized design with…
Rhizosphere microorganisms, as crucial biological groups at the soil–plant interface, play a significant role in advancing sustainable agriculture. This review systematically synthesizes three decades of research to elucidate the mechanisms and applications of rhizosphere microbes—including nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms, and plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR)—in enhancing soil health, improving crop stress tolerance, and optimizing ecosystem functioning. Key findings indicate that replacing 50% of synthetic nitrogen with organic fertilizer in maize–wheat rotation systems can reduce nitrous oxide…
Artificial polyploidy induction is widely used in ornamental breeding but can yield aneuploidy derivatives that vary in developmental stability and breeding utility. In Hibiscus syriacus ‘Blue Bird’, in vivo colchicine and oryzalin treatments generated regenerated shoots in which genome-size shifts were detected by flow cytometry; among the candidate lines, a subset reached flowering maturity and was characterized in detail. These flowering aneuploids displayed diverse floral alterations, including reduced corolla size, altered pigmentation, and partial conversion of stamens…
Very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are widely distributed across plant tissues. 3-Ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCS) is one of the most crucial enzymes in VLCFA synthesis and markedly influences fatty acid composition in plants. However, the relevant information on KCS proteins in foxtail millet remains poorly understood. In the current study, 30 KCS genes were found in foxtail millet using bioinformatics methods. Phylogenetic data indicated that these genes cluster into eight distinct groups, with members of each group…
The potting substrate is an important determinant of post-germination growth in Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum under controlled laboratory conditions. We evaluated four commercially available soil substrates—Sta-Green potting mix plus fertilizer (SPM), Sta-Green flower & vegetable garden soil plus fertilizer (SGS), Miracle-Gro potting mix (MPM), and Miracle-Gro raised bed soil (MBS)—to assess their effects on seed germination and post-germination growth. Germination rates did not differ significantly among substrates for either species. In contrast, post-germination growth was strongly…
Accurately determining the optimal post-harvest storage period is still a major challenge in mango processing, especially for the Tom EJC (TEJC) variety, due to reliance on subjective visual evaluations, leading to inconsistent product quality and increased post-harvest losses. This study presents an artificial intelligence-based framework combining computer vision and physicochemical analysis to objectively predict the optimal post-harvest storage period of TEJC mango before processing. TEJC mangoes of grade one were stored for eight days at…
Acer truncatum is a significant woody oil-bearing tree species known for its ability to synthesize various unsaturated fatty acids. This study systematically analyzes the lipid metabolic pathways and the associated transcript abundance changes involved in the biosynthesis and accumulation of seed oil in A. truncatum. By integrating lipidomics and transcriptomics analyses across different developmental stages of A. truncatum seeds, we thoroughly investigate the dynamic characteristics of oil metabolism. The results show that triacylglycerols (TAGs) become the dominating lipid…
Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is highly susceptible to chilling stress, which severely constrains its growth and productivity. Although the eco-friendly biostimulant γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) has shown promise in enhancing plant tolerance to abiotic stresses, its specific role and underlying mechanisms in alleviating chilling injury in pepper remain poorly understood. This study systematically investigated the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which foliar application of 100 mg·L−1 γ-PGA enhances chilling tolerance in pepper seedlings. Our results demonstrated that γ-PGA…
Pigment biofortification in rice, particularly through enhanced anthocyanin accumulation, is increasingly recognized in Asia for its potential to improve nutritional quality and antioxidant capacity while addressing regional health challenges. However, the regulatory network underlying anthocyanin biosynthesis in rice remains incompletely characterized, especially regarding MYB transcription factors that may control pigment accumulation in diverse germplasm. In this study, a genome-wide analysis of MYB transcription factors in Oryza sativa subsp. japonica identified 109 OsMYB genes. Phylogenetic comparison with known anthocyanin…
Citrus fruits are highly susceptible to post-harvest diseases such as green rot (Penicillium digitatum), blue rot (P. italicum), and sour rot (Geotrichum citri-aurantii), causing significant economic losses. Due to the risks associated with synthetic fungicides and the emergence of resistant strains, natural alternatives are needed. This study evaluated the antifungal activity of aqueous extracts of Corrigiola telephiifolia and Marrubium vulgare. In vitro tests were conducted using PDA medium with extract concentrations of 12.5–100 mg/mL and in vivo assays were performed on artificially…
Staphylococcal meningitis, a severe infection of the meninges, highlights the urgent need for new strategies to combat Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections. In this study, ethanolic leaf extracts of Coleus forskohlii were evaluated for their antibacterial potential against clinical S. aureus isolates associated with meningitis. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis identified 15 phytochemical compounds, two of which—urs-12-en-28-ol (CID 22213452) and petroselaidic acid (CID 5282754) showed promising binding affinities (−7.5 and −5.9 kcal/mol, respectively) against S. aureus protein (30S ribosomal subunit)…
Salt stress attenuators assist seed germination by reducing the effects of osmotic and ionic stress, y promoting water uptake, they stabilize enzymes and enhance metabolic tolerance, resulting in higher germination rates and more uniform early development. This study evaluates the effects of applying salt stress attenuators on the germination and seedling formation of O. basilicum as a pre-germination treatment. Two cultivars, Limoncino (tolerant) and Genaro de Menta (sensitive), were subjected to pre-germination treatments combining salt stress…
The cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR) gene family plays a pivotal role in lignin biosynthesis and plant stress adaptation by catalyzing the first committed step in the monolignol-specific branch of the phenylpropanoid pathway. However, a comprehensive and systematic analysis of CCRs in the economically important Rosa genus remains lacking. Here, we conducted a systematic genome-wide investigation of CCR genes in a diploid species, Rosa chinensis, and a tetraploid cultivar, Rosa × hybrida. We identified 15 and 36 non-redundant CCR genes in R. chinensis…
