Panax notoginseng (Burkill) F. H. Chen, as a traditional Chinese medicinal herb with significant therapeutic effects, is highly sensitive to environmental factors during its growth process, particularly light and water conditions. Under field conditions, natural limitations make it difficult achieve optimal yield quality. This study aimed in the past determine light–water interaction model for year-round cultivation of P. controlled plant factory environment. The experiment used one-year-old, uniformly grown notoginsen seedlings. At beginning experiment, source, without any shading treatment, provided photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) intensity 200 μmol·m−2·s−1, measured at distance 30 cm from canopy. A total 18 treatment combinations were established, specifically two different quality treatments (A Treatment red-to-blue ratio 4:1 B 5:1) each combined three irrigation levels (field capacities 40%, 50%, 60%) (one layer 60% net, layers net). Each was all levels, resulting distinct combinations. effects interactions on evaluated by measuring key agronomic traits, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, ginsenoside content. results indicate that significantly affect content (light had more impact than treatment). best performance terms height (15.3 cm), stem diameter (3.45 mm), leaf length (8.6 fresh weight (3.382 g), (3.8%) observed when Treatment), capacity level layers. Based this, Pearson correlation analysis identify eight correlated indicators, entropy-weighted TOPSIS applied comprehensively evaluate schemes. evaluation show scheme under conditions three-layer shading.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) in Morocco Revealed by Bequence-Related Amplified Polymorphism Markers

Horticulturae, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11(2), P. 174 - 174

Published: Feb. 6, 2025

Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is one of the most expensive spices in world. Saffron, prized for its vibrant color, aroma, and taste, essential food industry traditional medicine. Its culinary uses, therapeutic benefits, potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer properties highlight significant importance. genetic diversity has implications cultivation quality. In this study, among 76 saffron accessions, collected from 13 localities Taliouin region Morocco, were evaluated using sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers. A total 63 polymorphic fragments produced with an average number bands per primer 10.5 10.16, respectively. Most variations localities, revealed by Analysis Molecular Variance, originated within accessions differentiation (81%; p < 0.010). Cluster Analysis, Principal Coordinate (PCoA), population structure confirmed main groups corroborated homogeneity across accessions. fact, close relationships between different locations, showing that there was no relationship divergence geographical locality. This investigation represents a pivotal advance towards fostering sustainable development bolstering economic empowerment farming communities Morocco.

Exploring molecular variation and combining ability of local and exotic bread wheat genotypes under well-watered and drought conditions

PeerJ, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13, P. e18994 - e18994

Published: Feb. 27, 2025

Drought is one of the most environmental stressors, significantly affecting wheat production, particularly in face accelerating climate change. Therefore, developing drought-resistant, high-yielding varieties essential to ensure sustainable production and maintain global food security as world population rapidly grows. This study aimed evaluate genetic variation local imported bread genotypes through simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers assess their combining ability identify top-performing under both normal drought-stress environments. SSR revealed significant diversity among parental genotypes, which were utilized develop 28 F1 crosses utilizing diallel mating design. Field trials well-watered drought-stressed environments demonstrated that drought reduced all measured agronomic traits. The categorized into five clusters based on tolerance, ranging from highly sensitive (group-E) robustly drought-resistant (group-A). variety Sids-12 (P2) was identified an excellent combiner for breeding shorter early-maturing cultivars Line-117 (P3), Line-144 (P4), Line-123 (P5) improving grain yield related traits conditions. P1×P5, P3×P8, P4×P5, P6×P7 possessed superior performance Key traits, including plant height, grains per spike, 1,000-grain weight, spikes plant, displayed strong correlations with yield, providing effective approach indirect selection drought-prone

A three-sided story: a biosystematic revision of genus Datura reveals novel tropane alkaloids for the first-time in certain species

Frontiers in Plant Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16

Published: May 2, 2025

Introduction Datura, long considered an medicinal plant, represents a prospective source for discovering novel drugs modern medicine. The Egyptian flora encompasses six Datura genotypes, including D. innoxia, ferox, metel and three forms of stramonium (stramonium, tatula inermis). However, the taxonomic status genus remains controversial. Methods Our study aims to clarify phylogenetic relationships among via contemporary molecular taxonomy techniques, ISSR, SCoT, CDDP, as well cytogenetics assessment, chemical taxonomy, using total- tropane-alkaloid UV spectroscopic pattern. Results Based on our results, inermis) are closely related taxa, although there were some significant differences, suggesting need upgrade inermis level subspecies (Datura subsp. Inermis). GC-MS results identified 31 tropane alkaloids. Out which, seven described in qualitative manner which enhances these genotypes’ medical economic value. Expression genes PMT, TR1, TR2, H6H, HDH AT4 influenced alkaloids accumulation within genotypes examined. Discussion To date, this is first identify evolutionary relationship combining quantify TAs involved their biosynthesis genotypes. Conclusion This since drug development strategies enhanced therapeutic usage heavily depend comprehensive knowledge species subspecies’ phytochemical variability.
