Published: July 10, 2024

Abstract Background Biochar, a carbon-rich source and natural growth stimulant, is usually produced by the pyrolysis of agricultural biomass. It widely used to enhance plant growth, enzyme activity, crop productivity. However, there are no conclusive studies on how different levels biochar application influence these systems. Methods results The present study elucidated dose-dependent effects physiological performance, dry matter accumulation tobacco plants via field experiments. In addition, transcriptome analysis was performed 60-day-old (early stage) 100-day-old (late leaves determine changes in transcript at molecular level under various (0, 600, 1800 kg/ha). demonstrated that optimum enhances regulates enzymatic promotes biomass plants, while higher doses had adverse effects. Furthermore, revealed total 6561 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were up- or down-regulated groupwise comparison treatments.

Plasma treated water with metal ions enhances Pak Choi growth, salinity tolerance and accumulation of primary metabolites

Fundamental Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: July 1, 2024

Salinity stress is a serious environmental threat that has detrimental impact on agricultural yield and productivity. The effects of plasma-treated water (PTW) metal ions (M) Pak Choi growth salt tolerance genes under salinity have not yet been studied. To bridge these gaps, we explored the PTW + M, prepared using multi-electrode cylindrical dielectric barrier discharged plasma, seedlings irrigated with 100 mM NaCl solution for 7 d, an aim to improve plant salinity. M significantly improved length dry weight shoots roots, as well photosynthetic activity, by increasing chlorophyll b, pheophytin total pheophytin, carotenoid contents. Plant biomass increased maximum up 54.4%, shoot 18.1%, root 26.01% in group compared control. Furthermore, content 2.16 1.55 times after irrigation control (DI irrigation) stress. further reduced plasma membrane permeability along increase hydration intracellular NO Ca2+ levels, ionic balance osmotic adjustment Additionally, treatments primary metabolite accumulation sugars, sugar alcohols, organic acids, amino osmo-protectants, modulated adaptation mitigate In conclusion, mitigated promoting adjustment, impermeability, capacity, upregulation metabolites

, a perennial medicinal plant, utilizes its dried roots and rhizomes for purposes. Currently, in China, ginseng cultivation employs two methods: under-forest farmland planting. These methods create distinct habitats, significantly influencing the ginseng's rhizome morphology and, consequently, economic value. In this study, two-year-old ginsengs were transplanted into (TCG), larch forest (TLCG)

Synergistic effects of melatonin and 24-epibrassinolide on chickpea water deficit tolerance

BMC Plant Biology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 24(1)

Published: July 15, 2024

Water deficiency stress reduces yield in grain legumes, primarily due to a decrease the pods number. Melatonin (ML) and 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) are recognized for their hormone-like properties that improve plant tolerance abiotic stresses. This study aimed assess impact of different concentrations ML (0, 100, 200 µM) EBL 3, 6 on growth, biochemical, physiological characteristics chickpea plants under water-stressed conditions.
