Abstract This study employed the bibliometric software CiteSpace 6.1.R6 to analyze the correlation between thermal infrared, spectral remote sensing technology, and the estimation of economic forest water stress. It aimed to review the development and current status of this field, as well as to identify future research trends. A search was conducted on the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database using the keyword “water stress” for relevant studies from 2003 to 2023. The visual analysis function of CNKI was used to generate the distribution of annual publication volume, and CiteSpace 6.1.R6 was utilized to create network More >

Abstract The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) is an important class of transcription factors in plants, playing a critical role in plant growth and development and responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Due to gene presence/absence variations, it is limited to identify bZIP genes based on the reference genome. Therefore, we performed the bZIP gene family analysis in the rice pan-genome. By employing a rice pan-genome, ninety-four OsbZIPs (72 core genes and 22 variable genes) were identified and divided into 11 groups in a phylogenetic tree. Based upon Ka/Ks values in 33 accessions, OsbZIPs were subjected to different selection… More >

Abstract The fruits of Amomum tsao-ko (Cao-Guo) were documented in Chinese Pharmacopoeia for the treatment of abdominal pain, vomiting, and plague. In our previous study, a series of diarylheptanes and flavonoids with α-glucosidase and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity have been reported from the middle-polarity part of A. tsao-ko, whereas the antidiabetic potency of the low-polarity constituents is still unclear. In this study, three new hydroxytetradecenals, (2E, 4E, 8Z, 11Z)-6R-hydroxytetradeca-2,4,8,11-tetraenal (1), (2E, 4E, 8Z)-6R-hydroxytetradeca-2,4,8-trienal (2) and (2E, 4E)-6R-hydroxytetradeca-2,4-dienal (3) were obtained from the volatile oils of A. tsao-ko. The structures of compounds 1–3 were determined using spectroscopic data involving 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic More >

Abstract Trypsin, a novel superoxide scavenger, significantly enhances the storage quality of Hylocereus undatus (H. undatus). To elucidate the preservation mechanism of trypsin on H. undatus, a widely targeted metabolomic analysis, and transcriptomics analysis were conducted. Firstly, a total of 453 metabolites were identified, with organic acids and their derivatives constituting the largest proportion (25%). Amino acids and their metabolites, prominent among organic acids, were further analyzed. Among them, 73 metabolites were associated with amino acids, and 37 exhibited significant differences. The most enriched Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway was arginine biosynthesis (map00220), with polyamine metabolites… More >

Abstract Garden pea productivity and qualities are hampered in zinc (Zn), boron (B), and molybdenum (Mo) deficient soil. Thus, the combination of micronutrients (i.e., Zn, B, and Mo) and rhizobium is necessary to increase the productivity and quality of garden peas, since this management for garden peas is neglected in Bangladesh. Therefore, the present study was made to assess the effectiveness of rhizobium inoculant singly or in combination with the micronutrients (i.e., Zn, B, and Mo) on growth, yield, nutrient uptake, and quality of garden peas. Treatments were: T = Control, T = Rhizobium inoculation at 50… More >

Abstract Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) is caused by Hemileia vastatrix in Coffea spp. It is one of the most dangerous phytopathogens for coffee plantations in terms of coffee productivity and coffee cup quality. In this review, we resume the problem of CLR in Mexico and the pathogenesis of H. vastatrix. The review abord plant-pathogen interactions which lead a compatible or incompatible interactions and result in CLR disease or resistance, respectively. The review abord Coffea spp. defense response pathways involved in H. vastatrix pathogenicity. Additionally, current measures to control H. vastatrix proliferation and germination were aborded focused on phytosanitary actions, and biological More >

Abstract The objective of this study was to explain the physiological mechanisms through which NaSeO mitigates the growth and developmental inhibition of pakchoi under HgCl stress. The results showed that treatment with HgCl (40 mg L) led to reduced biomass, dwarfing, root shortening, and root tip necrosis in pakchoi. Compared to control (CK), the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) in Hg treatment increased, and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) also dramatically increased, which negatively impacted the growth of pakchoi. Low concentrations of NaSeO (0.2 mg L) significantly increased the content of soluble sugars… More >

Abstract Beans contain a wide range of vitamins, proteins, calcium, and zinc which make them an important food source for many countries. To meet the demand for bean production worldwide, large amounts of fertilizers and pesticides are used. However, the cost of production and environmental impact increases. To produce food sustainably, the use of beneficial nutrients such as silicon as a biostimulant has been proposed. However, information about the effect of different sources of silicon on the metabolism of bean plants is scarce. Bean plants cv. Strike were grown in pots for 60 days and the… More >

Abstract Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is an essential food crop for more than 750 million people in tropical and sub-tropical dry climates of Africa, India, and Latin America. The domestic sorghum market in Indonesia is still limited to the eastern region (East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, Java, and South Sulawesi). Therefore, it is crucial to carry out sorghum research on drylands. This research aimed to investigate the effect of sorghum genotype and planting distance and their interaction toward growth and sorghum’s productivity in the Gunungkidul dryland, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In addition, the farm business analysis, including… More >

Abstract Saussurea inversa is one of the Tibetan medicine with developed aerenchyma. In this study, we investigated the function of the ShCTR1 gene related to the formation of aerenchyma. The study of the occurrence and formation of aerenchyma in S. inversa has certain theoretical significance in revealing the special mechanism of alpine plants adapting to the environment. The results of yeast two-hybrid experiments showed that S. inversa ShCTR1 interacted with the ShRBOH1, which is a key producer of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and it was hypothesized that ShCTR1 regulation of aerenchyma formation in S. inversa mainly mediated by ROS. Aerenchyma induction and… More >

Abstract Populus trinervis is native to China and plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining the ecological balance of boreal and temperate forests. P. trinervis mainly grows in high-altitude areas. At present, there are limited studies on the response of P. trinervis to different light qualities, so it is necessary to investigate the photosynthetic physiological changes of P. trinervis in different light environments. In our study, P. trinervis was grown for 8 months under light filtered by three different colored films. The three treatments were blue film, green film, and white plastic film. The effects of blue (B), green (G), and white… More >

Abstract The xylem undergoes physiological changes in response to various environmental conditions during the process of plant growth. To understand these physiological changes, it is extremely important to observe the transport of xylem. In this study, the distribution and structure of vascular bundle in Lilium lancifolium were observed using the method of semithin section. Methods for introducing a fluorescent tracer into the xylem of the stems were evaluated. Then, the transport rule of 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein diacetate (CFDA) in the xylem of the stem of L. lancifolium was studied by fluorescence dye in live cells tracer technology. The results showed… More >

Abstract The Puna grasslands support grazing systems that produce meat and wool in multi-species herds, especially from llama (Lama glama) and sheep. However, it is yet unknown whether grazing pressure can modify grassland structure and Plant Functional Types diversity and cover in Puna grasslands. We analyzed the relationship between grazing pressure and Plant Functional Types by comparing transects located near stockyards (high grazing pressure) and far from them (low pressure) and by evaluating the relationship between the Plant Functional Types cover to a Grazing Pressure Index (GPI). This index incorporates the heterogeneity of traditional pastoral management. At… More >
