Abiotic stresses particularly drought, salinity, and temperature extremes increasingly threaten crop stability in tropical environments where combinatorial stress events are intensifying under climate change. Despite growing omics capacity, current multi-omics syntheses of plant stress acclimation remain dominated by model species and major crops, leaving tropical and underutilized plants underrepresented in comparative stress biology. This review examines how transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, and integrative multi-omics frameworks have been applied to abiotic stress acclimation in selected tropical…
SEP3, one of the SEPALLATA (SEP) genes, plays a crucial role in the regulation of floral organ morphogenesis in plants. However, its specific function and molecular regulatory mechanisms remain largely unclear in tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa Andr.). In this study, the PsSEP3L1 sequence of the tree peony cultivar ‘Luoyang Hong’ was obtained by homologous cloning. The open reading frame of PsSEP3L1 is 738 bp and encodes 245 amino acids. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that PsSEP3L1 was most closely related…
Heat stress severely impairs plant growth and productivity, particularly in cool-season crops such as Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis). While short-term heat responses have been extensively studied, the mechanisms underlying prolonged heat stress adaptation remain insufficiently understood. In this study, we conducted an integrative analysis of Chinese cabbage exposed to sustained high temperatures. Our approach combined physiological characterization, antioxidant profiling, and transcriptome-wide gene expression analysis to dissect long-term heat stress responses. Prolonged heat stress caused marked…
Seed germination in blackberry (Rubus fruticosus L.) is frequently constrained by deep physiological dormancy, limiting its use in breeding and germplasm studies. This study evaluated the combined effects of cold stratification (CS) and static magnetic field (SMF; 80 mT) exposure on germination performance and associated biochemical changes related to starch metabolism. Seeds of the commercial cultivar ‘Loch Ness’ were subjected to different stratification periods and magnetic treatments prior to germination under laboratory conditions. Some SMF +…
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal pollutant released from various human activities including industrial production and agricultural practices. This pollutant adversely affects plant physiology by damaging root systems, inhibiting photosynthesis, and inducing oxidative stress through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This review highlights the critical role of nitric oxide (NO) as a key signaling molecule that enhances plant tolerance to cadmium stress. The application of exogenous NO effectively alleviates Cd toxicity by…
The effects of water stress on the morphophysiological and biochemical characteristics of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti) were investigated in a pot experiment under greenhouse conditions. Both species were exposed to four irrigation levels: no stress (1000 mL H2O), mild stress (800 mL H2O), moderate stress (600 mL H2O), and severe stress (400 mL H2O), with treatments applied every 2 days over a period of eight weeks. The results demonstrated the negative impacts of water stress,…

With finite resources and a growing global population, agriculture has become increasingly essential as a source of food, fiber, and livestock. Due to their eco-friendly nature, the integration of crop improvement strategies with nanotechnology and plant biostimulants (PB) plays an important role in the development of smart and sustainable…
As essential regulatory proteins, WRKY transcription factors participate in the regulation of plant growth, development and stress resistance; however, the functions of LoWRKY22 in the ‘Siberia’ cultivar of Lilium remain uncharacterized. In this study, LoWRKY22 was cloned and subjected to comprehensive functional analyses. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that LoWRKY22 belongs to the WRKY-IIe type subgroup, featuring a conserved WRKY domain and a C2H2-type zinc finger motif, indicating evolutionary conservation with WRKY homologs from Arabidopsis thaliana. Subcellular localization and transactivation…
The exploration and identification of spontaneous weed species in heavy metal–contaminated soils represent a relevant approach for understanding the role and their potential application in phytoremediation. In cacao cultivation, cadmium contamination poses a significant risk due to the restrictions established for soils and cacao-derived products, thereby threatening productive sustainability and export viability. The objective of this study was to identify weed species associated with cacao cultivation exhibiting accumulation patterns and phytoremediation potential for Cd and…
Enhancing lipid productivity in microalgae is a critical goal for advancing sustainable biofuel production. Among emerging strategies, the supplementation of plant growth regulators (PGRs) has gained attention as a potential approach for modulating microalgal metabolism. This in silico study evaluated the predicted binding of sixty-five PGRs from 11 chemical classes to five microalgal enzymes associated with lipid biosynthesis, (FabD, KASII, FabG, FATA, and GPAT) using an integrative computational workflow combining virtual screening, molecular docking, molecular dynamics…
Background: The transition from wild Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris to cultivated grapes led to major changes in seed shape, known as the “domestication syndrome.” While traditional measurements distinguish these groups, high-resolution geometric analysis provides a more precise way to track domestication and variety stability. Objective: This study uses a multi-parametric approach—combining Fourier descriptors, curvature analysis, and the J-Index—to quantify seed shape variation across 121 Vitis populations. Methods: We analysed 48 varieties, including wild species and three major cultivated lineages…
Anthocyanins (ACNs), a major class of water-soluble flavonoid pigments, are responsible for the vivid red, purple, and blue hues in many edible ornamental flowers. Recently, increasing attention has been directed toward these flowers not only for their aesthetic value but also for their nutritional and functional potential, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anticancer, and cardioprotective activities. This review summarizes current knowledge on the source and biosynthesis pathways of ACNs in edible ornamental flowers, highlighting the…
Accurate recognition of visually similar pest species remains a major challenge in agricultural vision, given that existing datasets often lack sufficient taxonomic structure, confusable categories, and quantitative analysis of class-level visual difficulty. To address these limitations, we present AP60, a taxonomy-guided benchmark dataset for fine-grained pest recognition, comprising 62,091 images from 60 pest categories and organized according to insect taxonomy. A distinctive characteristic of AP60 is the deliberate inclusion of morphologically confusable taxa, which enables…
The TIFY transcription factor family plays a major role in plant growth and development. Petal size is a very important agronomic characteristic in the ornamental species of Verbena bonariensis. This study identifies 16 TIFY genes (VbTIFYs) in the V. bonariensis genome. Phylogenetic reconstruction divided these genes into six distinct subclades, indicating a high degree of homology between Verbena bonariensis and Arabidopsis thaliana. Promoter sequence analysis illustrated that the promoters of TIFY genes harbor not only cis-acting elements related…
Quercus is widely distributed globally and holds significant ecological and economic value. However, the morphological classification of this genus has long been controversial, with the core issue being whether the Cyclobalanopsis should be treated as an independent genus or as a subgenus within Quercus. In this study, the chloroplast genomes of eight Quercus species were determined and analyzed. Among these, the complete chloroplast genome of Quercus pachyloma is reported for the first time, alongside newly published chloroplast genome…
The fasciclin-like arabinogalactan protein (FLA) family is involved in important plant wall formation and mechanical strength of the stems, and has never been systematically characterized in soybean (Glycine max), a huge crop in which stem lodging has been the cause of significant losses in yield. Here, we found that the soybean genome has 64 GmFLA genes, or a considerable increase over Arabidopsis, rice, and poplar, and these genes were grouped into three phylogenetic clusters (A, B, and…
