Synergistic effects of boron and saponin in mitigating salinity stress to enhance sweet potato growth

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: June 6, 2024

Abstract Salinity stress significantly hinders plant growth by disrupting osmotic balance and inhibiting nutrient uptake, leading to reduced biomass stunted development. Using saponin (SAP) boron (B) can effectively overcome this issue. Boron decreases salinity stabilizing cell walls membranes, regulating ion balance, activating antioxidant enzymes, enhancing water uptake. SAP are bioactive compounds that have the potential alleviate improving modulating hormone levels, promoting root growth, stimulating activity. That’s why current study was planned use a combination of as amendments mitigate in sweet potatoes. Four levels (0%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.20%) B (control, 5, 10, 20 mg/L B) were applied 4 replications following completely randomized design. Results illustrated 0.15% with caused significant enhancement potato vine length (13.12%), weight (12.86%), (8.31%), over control under stress. A improvement chlorophyll (9.84%), b (20.20%), total (13.94%), photosynthetic rate (17.69%), transpiration (16.03%), stomatal conductance (17.59%) contrast prove effectiveness + treatment.

Enhancing fermentation quality and fiber decomposition of Phragmites australis silage by introducing Bacillus subtilis and lactic acid bacteria consortia

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: May 21, 2025

Introduction As a low-cost, high-fibre biomass resource, Phragmites australis (reed) has significant potential for feed applications, particularly as partial replacement conventional roughage in ruminant diets. Methods This study investigated the effects of integrating Bacillus subtilis ( B. BNCC109047) with homofermentative/ heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB) consortia on fermentation and nutritional quality silage. Five treatments were evaluated: Control (CK, without inoculum) four inoculants—LAB (1.5 × 108 CFU/kg LAB, 1:4 homofermentative Lentilactobacillus plantarum BNCC 336421 Pediococcus pentosaceus 135034 ratio 1:1): L. buchneri 187961) ratio), LAB-BS2.5 (LAB plus 2.5 10 7 ), LAB-BS5.0 5.0 LAB-BS10.0 1.0 8 )—with triplicate samples per group. Silage was conducted 90 days. Results demonstrated superior outcomes, achieving highest acid-to-total (62.3%, p < 0.05) lowest ammonia nitrogen (NH 3 -N) content (0.60 ± 0.09 g/kg, 0.05). Acetic butyric concentrations significantly reduced 0.05), while neutral detergent fiber (NDF) decreased by 5.9% compared to Control. Ether extract (EE) increased 4.76% 0.01), highlighting enhanced lipid preservation. Conclusion These results emphasize synergistic LAB optimize P. silage, providing sustainable strategy enhance forage tackle global shortages.

Published: Feb. 5, 2024

Road vehicles, particularly cars, are one of the primary sources CO2 emissions in transport sector. Shifting to unconventional energy such as solar and wind power may reduce their carbon footprints considerably. Consequently, using ammonia a fuel due its potential benefits, high density, being carbon-free fuel, versatility during storage transportation, has now grabbed attention researchers. However, slow combustion speed, larger chamber requirements, ignition difficulties, limited stability still major challenges. Therefore, authors tried analyze pressure constant-volume across different equivalence ratios by adopting machine learning approach. While conducting analysis, experimental values were assessed subsequently utilized predict induced various ratios. In this research, two-step prediction process was employed. initial step, Random Forest algorithm applied assess pressure.
