Arsenic (As) contamination has significantly increased in recent decades due to anthropogenic activities. This is a serious challenge for human health, environmental quality, and crop productivity. Biochar (BC) is an important practice used globally...

Wild edible plants, historically valued for their medicinal properties, can be a sustainable source of food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The blue berries of Prunus spinosa L., known as blackthorns, have antioxidant, astringent, and antimicrobial...

Plant peptides, as key signaling molecules, play pivotal roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. This review focuses on research progress in plant peptides involved in plant immunity, providing a detailed classification of immunity-...

The ongoing global climate change has led to an increase in the frequency and complexity of drought events. Pinus yunnanensis, a native tree species in southwest China that possesses significant ecological and economic value, exhibits a high sensitiv...

The rugose surface trait in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), marked by ridges and depressions on the fruit epidermis, is linked to improved fruit texture. To investigate its regulatory basis, histological, textural, and transcriptomic differences, contra...

Chilean Schinus molle has been used in traditional medicine for effects such as antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiviral, antitumoral, antioxidant, antispasmodic, astringent, antipyretic, cicatrizant, cytotoxic, diuretic, am...

Chimonanthus praecox, a traditional ornamental plant in China, is admired for its ability to bloom during the cold winter season and is recognized as an outstanding woody cut flower. MADS-box genes encode transcription factors essential for plant gro...

Plant genders could express different functional strategies to compensate for different reproductive costs, as females have an additional role in fruit and seed production. Secondary sexual dimorphism (SSD) expression is frequently greater under stre...

Although the allocation of biomass among floral organs reflects critical trade-offs in plant reproductive strategies, the scaling relationships governing biomass allocations remain poorly resolved, particularly in flowers. Here, we report the fresh m...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) remains a therapeutic challenge due to the limitations of current treatments, creating demand for safer multi-target alternatives to corticosteroids. Our integrated study establishes Hibiscus syriacus L. (H. syriacus) as a mech...
