Hop latent viroid (HLVd), a 256-nucleotide RNA strand with complementary base-pairing and internal stem loop structures, forms circular or rod-shaped molecules within diseased plants. RT-PCR/RT-qPCR was used to assess HLVd transmission, spread and lo...

China is the largest strawberry producer in the world. Strawberry black root rot is a novel disease that occurs in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. In the present study, the inhibitory effects of Bacillus subtilis S-16 and its fermented form on strawberry bla...

Leaf anatomical traits are influenced by environmental and genetic factors; however, studies that investigate the genotype × environment interaction on these traits are scarce. This study hypothesized that (1) the leaf anatomy of Coffea spp. ge...

Cruciferae family vegetables are remarkably high in phytochemicals such as Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and Diindolylmethane (DIM), which are widely known as nutritional supplements. I3C and DIM have been studied extensively in different types of cancers...

Drought stress is the most common threat to plant growth, while physiological integration can significantly enhance the drought tolerance of clonal plants, making it essential to research the behavior of clones under drought conditions and explore th...

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs), comprising soluble sugars (SS) and starch (ST), are essential for plant growth and development. The distribution of SS and ST concentration across various organs fluctuates throughout time due to the changes in ro...

The tomato is among the crops with the most extensive cultivated area and greatest consumption in our nation; nonetheless, secondary salinization of facility soil significantly hinders the sustainable growth of facility agriculture. Melatonin (MT), a...

Apple snails (Pomacea canaliculata), one of the 100 most serious invasive species in the world, have invaded mangrove wetlands due to their salinity tolerance. We firstly prepared a plant molluscicide against apple snails based on the mangrove Aegice...

The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Elephantorrhiza elephantina (Burch) bulb extracts and evaluation of their antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and antioxidant properties were investigated. The crude plant extracts were prepared using d...

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) significantly impact air quality and climate. Mechanical injury is a common stressor affecting plants in both natural and urban environments, and it has potentially large influences on BVOC emissions. Howev...
