Neopicrorhiza scrophulariiflora (Pennell) D.Y.Hong, an endangered perennial herb, is rich in triterpenes, iridoids, and phenolic compounds, which exhibit significant pharmacological effects. However, the molecular mechanisms of triterpenoid biosynthe...

Nekemias grossedentata (Hand.-Mazz.) J. Wen & Z. L. Nie is a medicinal and edible plant with a high dihydromyricetin (DHM) content in its bud tips. Vine tea made from its bud tips has served as a health tea and Chinese herbal medicine for nearly...

The plant Di19 (drought-induced 19) protein belongs to zinc finger transcription factors, which play crucial roles in drought stress acclimatization. OsDi19-3, a drought-induced transcription factor in rice, has not been fully characterized for its b...

Global agricultural productivity and ecosystem sustainability face escalating threats from multiple abiotic stresses, particularly heavy metal contamination, drought, and soil salinization. In this context, developing effective strategies to enhance...

Salinity poses a significant challenge in modern agriculture, often inhibiting growth and yield, especially in sensitive crops like onions (Allium cepa L.). This study evaluated the effectiveness of a freshwater-algae-based biostimulant on two onion...

Salt stress poses a significant threat to crop growth. While brassinolide (BR) has been shown to alleviate its adverse effects and modulate plant development, the precise mechanism underlying BR-induced salt tolerance in rice remains unclear. In this...

Plant adaptation to various stresses depends on transmitting the external stress signals into internal signals. Brassinosteroids (BRs) play pivotal roles in connecting the external and internal signals in Brassicaceae plants, particularly under abiot...

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) glycosyltransferase (IAGLU) plays vital roles in modulating plant development and responses to environmental cues. Here, we elucidate the regulatory mechanism of OsIAGLU in modulating root gravitropism using OsIAGLU-overexp...

Gelsemine, a naturally occurring indole alkaloid derived from plants of the Gelsemium species of the Gelsemiaceae family, has been extensively investigated for its neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies have demonstrated tha...

Nitrogen (N) and organic-source fertilizers in agriculture are important to sustain crop production for feeding the growing global population. However, their use can result in significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (C...
