Paeonia peregrina Mill. is a medicinal plant of conservation concern in Bulgaria, where its petals and roots are harvested from wild populations for pharmaceutical use. Developing effective propagation methods is therefore essential for its conservation and potential cultivation. This preliminary study investigated selected aspects of the reproductive biology of P. peregrina, including pollination, seed formation, seedling development, and vegetative propagation. Field observations and experiments were conducted during 2024–2025 in a natural population near the town of Boboshevo,…
Herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) is a traditional Chinese flower with high ornamental value. However, the antioxidant value of P. lactiflora petals has not been fully utilized, and the petals are often discarded as waste after flowering. Plant petals are typically rich in polyphenolic compounds with potent antioxidant properties, but research on the antioxidant properties of P. lactiflora petals remains insufficient. To investigate the antioxidant effects of P. lactiflora petal polyphenol extract (PPP), this study first determined and compared…
Excessive nitrogen fertilizer application increases production costs and environmental burdens in rice cultivation, highlighting the need to identify low-nitrogen-tolerant germplasm. In this study, 266 rice accessions were evaluated in hydroponic culture for 35 d under normal-nitrogen conditions (NN: 1.6 mM NO3− and 1.6 mM NH4+) and low-nitrogen conditions (LN: 0.4 mM NO3− and 0.4 mM NH4+). Fifteen seedling traits related to growth, chlorophyll status, nitrogen accumulation, and nitrogen utilization were measured, and the corresponding low-nitrogen tolerance indices…
Medicinal plants are valuable sources of bioactive compounds with diverse pharmacological properties. However, the phytochemical composition and biological activities of Horwoodia dicksoniae remain insufficiently investigated. Therefore, this study evaluated the phytochemical composition, antioxidant activity, physicochemical characteristics, and in vitro cytotoxic potential of the ethanolic extract of H. dicksoniae collected from the Thumamah area, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The extract was subjected to phytochemical characterization, chemical profiling, physicochemical analysis, antioxidant activity assessment, and cytotoxicity evaluation. Qualitative screening confirmed the presence…
Essential oils (EOs) are most commonly characterized by GC–MS profiles and the relative abundance of dominant constituents. This approach is essential for chemical description and quality control, but it does not fully explain why EO composition differs among species, populations, organs, developmental stages, and growth conditions. Here, EO variability is examined from a focused, plant-centered perspective, with emphasis on terpenoid-rich systems in which glandular trichomes or other secretory structures are documented sites of volatile-metabolite biosynthesis,…
Water deficit is one of the major constraints to the establishment and early growth of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.), particularly under increasingly frequent and intense drought conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphological and physiological responses of cacao seedlings subjected to progressive water deficit under nursery conditions. Plants were evaluated over a 45-day period without irrigation and compared with well-watered plants maintained at 60% of substrate field capacity. Growth variables, photosynthetic pigment…
High solar radiation during the Thai summer raises greenhouse temperatures to 33–41°C, exceeding the optimal range for tomato cultivation (15–25°C) and reducing yield and fruit quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining daytime shading with evening supplemental light-emitting diode (LED) lighting to improve the growth, yield, and fruit quality of cherry tomato grown under heat-stress conditions. To alleviate excessive heat accumulation, a semi-enclosed greenhouse equipped with an 80% shade net was applied…
Heat stress is a major abiotic constraint limiting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) productivity in regions experiencing rising temperatures. This study evaluated the genetic variability and morphophysiological as well as yield responses of 50 barley genotypes under control and heat-stressed conditions to identify superior lines for thermotolerance breeding. A completely randomized design (CRD) with replications was used, and data was collected for ten morpho-physiological and yield traits. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated highly significant (p ≤ 0.001) effects…

Shading stress significantly compromises the ornamental quality and ecological adaptability of Hesperis sibirica. To investigate the potential mitigating effects of plant growth regulators, this study systematically analyzed the regulatory mechanisms of foliar-applied prohexadione-calcium (Pro-Ca) at different concentrations (0, 100, 300, 600, and 900 mg·L−1) under both full sunlight and heavy shading (70% light reduction, retaining 30% of full sunlight intensity) conditions. Through comprehensive evaluation of plant morphological traits, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic parameters, and chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics, combined…
Recent efforts in crop improvement have increasingly focused on elucidating molecular-level regulatory mechanisms to develop high-yielding crops with enhanced tolerance to heavy metals (HMs) stress. Omics approaches, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, ionomics, and phenomics, provide comprehensive analyses of plant responses to HMs stress. Genomics identifies stress-responsive genes, transcriptomics reveals dynamic changes in gene expression, proteomics evaluates protein abundance and post-translational modifications, and metabolomics characterize stress-related metabolites. Ionomics elucidates essential mineral dynamics involved in detoxification,…
The proportion of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) in the soil could regulate plant yield and secondary metabolism. However, extensive chemical fertilizer utilization has reduced soil fertility and increased soil compaction, and even caused environmental pollution. Applying microbial fertilizers (MF) could improve soil structure and the environment. This work aimed to reveal the effects of N reduction and combined MF on Ginkgo biloba growth, soil properties, and microbial communities, and illustrate their interaction roles…
As an important medicinal plant in China, Panax ginseng is rich in secondary metabolites and is widely used in immune regulation, antitumor, anti-aging applications. The exocyst complex is a crucial protein complex that regulates vesicle trafficking in plants and plays key roles in cellular secretion, polar growth, and stress responses. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a widely occurring derivative of jasmonic acid (JA) in plants and belongs to the category of endogenous signaling molecules in plants, which…
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). This study examined the antiglycation, antioxidant, and antidiabetic properties of the methanolic extract of Ibervillea sonorae (IsM). Antiglycation activity was assessed in vitro using a bovine serum albumin–glucose model, and the antidiabetic effects were evaluated using a zebrafish model of experimentally induced hyperglycemia. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis revealed several metabolites, including fatty acids and phytosterols.…
Rapeseed (Brassica rapa L.) is the primary oil crop in Xizang. However, its loosely branched structure hinders mechanical harvesting. Improvement in plant architecture is necessary to align with industrial development; however, research on branch angle in rapeseed is limited. The branch angle of compact plant type (S) was smaller than that of the dispersed plant type (F). RNA sequencing and targeted metabolome analyses of branch angles of both plant types were assessed at different branch sites.…
Water deficit and soil salinity can severely impair seed germination and crop establishment, creating a need for sustainable, non-chemical approaches to improve seed performance under stress. Electromagnetic-field (EMF) priming is a promising physical treatment; however, its effectiveness may depend strongly on the exposure regime and duration. This study evaluated the effect of electromagnetic-field (EMF) priming on broccoli (Brassica oleracea) seed germination under water and salt stress. Seeds were exposed to one or two EMF exposure regimes…
