Drought stress significantly affects plant growth, productivity, and yield by inducing morphological, physiological, biochemical changes. This study evaluates exogenous melatonin effects on agronomic traits of two broccoli varieties (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Plenck) at the baby-leaves stage under drought stress. The used were Sicilian sprouting black broccoli, Broccolo nero (BR), commercial one, Cavolo Ramoso Calabrese (CR). experiment was conducted in a cold greenhouse Catania, Sicily, considering levels (0 100 µmol L−1) irrigation regimes: 100% 60% pot water capacity (I100 I60). Plant weight, SPAD index, leaf parameters affected treatment, regime, genotypes. Total glucosinolates highest BR treatment (M1) full (I100). Significant differences observed for phenolic profiles. Specifically, CR showed higher glucoraphanin content compared to BR. CR, response combined M1-I60 exhibited marked increase total (TPC), reaching its level among tested conditions. Similarly, antioxidant capacity, evaluated through ABTS FRAP assays, significant improvement treatments. Additionally, caffeic acid hexose varies from 5.11 8.93% control (M0) application (M1). These findings highlight melatonin’s potential mitigate broccoli.

The choice of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) genotypes determines key attributes such as yield, flavor, and adaptability, contributing significantly to the overall success sustainability cultivation practices. As primary aim this study, seven accessions were characterized for both their growth performance biochemical profile volatile compounds, enabling differentiation among distinct chemotypes. secondary objectives, production evaluated under natural solar radiation conditions (SR100) with a 30% reduction in using net (SR70). Light use efficiency (LUE) determination revealed plants’ biomass capability different (SR) conditions. Genotypes A, B, C, G by high levels linalool, which is typically associated “pesto” sauce smell. Lemon D exhibited chemotype due presence neral geranial. E F displayed higher concentration α-bergamotene. total fresh harvested was SR70 than SR100 second harvest SR most productive one, while genotype highest yield. landraces showed LUE values, indicating converting into biomass. Plants grown registered values plant height, number branches, leaf weight. This work aimed provide valuable insights selection suitable sustainable agriculture. Conversely, it lays basis aspects pertaining crop’s adaptability peri-urban, marginal lands, are limited radiation.

This study investigated the effects of grafting on eggplant growth, yield, and disease resistance, with a focus microbial dynamics in rhizosphere. Eggplant scions were grafted onto rootstocks wild tomato, self-rooted eggplants serving as controls. Greenhouse experiments conducted over an eight-month growing period, using standard field practices such film mulching integrated water–fertilizer management. High-throughput sequencing was used to analyze biological properties community rhizosphere soil. Results showed that plants ‘Huimei Zhenba’ ‘Torvum’ yielded up 36.89% more than controls, achieving yields 4619.59 kg 4399.73 per 667 m², respectively. The incidence bacterial wilt reduced low 3.33% treatment, compared 55.56% non-grafted Additionally, exhibited increased stem diameter chlorophyll content, TL/HM combination reaching 54.23 ± 3.17 SPAD units. enhanced biomass carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, particularly treatment (377.59 mg/kg, 28.31 36.30 respectively), supports nutrient-rich environment. Moreover, soil enzyme activities, β-glucosidase phosphatase, significantly higher plants, enhancing nutrient cycling potentially increasing resistance pathogens. Overall, demonstrated biomass, activity, diverse community, which are critical factors contributing improved yield observed crops.
