Light spectral composition critically regulates plant morphogenesis and molecular adaptation in controlled environments. This study investigated the synergistic effects of three light spectra, red-blue (RB, 7:3), red-blue-green (RGB, 7:3:1), and red-...

According to previous studies, dynamic light regimes might enhance seedling development, survival rates, or economic efficiency in factory-based seedling production systems compared to continuous red and blue light irradiation. However, there have be...

Fruit astringency, which primarily results from the interaction between polyphenolic compounds such as tannins and salivary proteins, is a critical sensory attribute that limits the commercial value and consumer acceptance of many fruits. A thorough...

Phylogenetic relationships within the subtribe Arethusinae (Arethuseae: Epidendroideae: Orchidaceae) remain unresolved, with particular uncertainty surrounding the phylogenetic positions of Anthogonium gracile and Eleorchis japonica. The monophyly of...

Salt stress presents a major environmental constraint to global agricultural productivity and crop yield stability. Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is one of the most extensively cultivated Solanaceae crops worldwide, and the characterization of its...

Blueberry growth is closely tied to its rhizosphere’s microbial communities. Recent advancements in high-throughput sequencing and multi-omics technologies have enhanced the investigation of variations in rhizosphere microbial communities and t...

Trehalose is a nonreducing disaccharide critical for cellular integrity and stress adaptation in plants, and its synthesis relies on trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPP). Despite their established roles in...

The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) gene family constitutes one of the most abundant and conserved transcription factor families in plants, which participates in diverse physiological processes including response to abiotic stress, anthocyanin accumulati...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a vital crop in China, yet its growth and quality are compromised by environmental stresses. This study investigated the role of myelocytomatosis (MYC) transcription factors (SlMYCs) in tomato stress tolerance. We ide...

Centella asiatica (L.) Urban is a medicinal herb containing valuable bioactive compounds widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and traditional medicine applications. This study investigated the effects of elevated CO2 levels (1000, 800, and 600 pp...
