The genus Ziziphus includes numerous species, both cultivated and wild, offering significant genetic variability and economic potential that are often overlooked. Due to their high variability and ecological plasticity, jujube species and genotypes c...

To reveal the changes in crop yield and contribution rate of black soil productivity under long-term different fertilization conditions in black soil areas and to find the important significance of fertilization for sustainable and stable crop yield,...

The depletion of the ozone layer has resulted in elevated ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation levels, posing a significant risk to terrestrial plant growth. Rhododendron chrysanthum Pall. (R. chrysanthum), adapted to high-altitude and high-irradiation env...

As a result of climate change, temperate regions are facing the simultaneous increase in water and heat stress. These changes may affect the interactions between plants and pollinators, which will have an impact on entomophilous crop yields. Here, we...

The aim of our research was to understand the impact of ochratoxin A (OTA) exposure on various physiological and behavioral aspects in adult Wistar rats, and to evaluate the efficacy of a Syzygium aromaticum essential oil (EOC) treatment in restoring...

In flowering plants, MADS-box genes play regulatory roles in flower induction, floral initiation, and floral morphogenesis. Isatis indigotica (I. indigotica) is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant. However, available information concerning MADS-box...

Amino acids in wine grapes function as precursors for various secondary metabolites and play a vital role in plant growth, development, and stress resistance. The amino acid/auxin permease (AAAP) genes encode a large family of transporters; however,...

Protein S-acyl transferases (PATs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze protein S-acylation, a post-translational lipid modification involved in protein membrane targeting, trafficking, stability, and protein–protein interaction. S-acylation p...

Argania spinosa (L.) Skeels is a unique endemic species in Morocco, renowned for its ecological characteristics and socio-economic importance. In Morocco, recent years have seen an exacerbation of the harmful effects of climate change, leading to an...

Rhododendron simsii (R. simsii), a significant ornamental plant species, is adversely affected by the severe soil heavy metal pollution resulting from rapid industrialization, particularly in terms of its growth environment. Cadmium (Cd), a represent...
