Summary: This study investigated the effects of seed endophyte FXZ2 on the tolerance and accumulation of Zn/Cd in Dysphania ambrosioides plants. The results showed that FXZ2-inoculated plants had enhanced growth, improved chlorophyll and GSH content, and altered the chemical speciation of Zn/Cd in the rhizosphere. FXZ2 also exogenously secreted phytohormones to promote growth and enhance antioxidant properties. However, FXZ2 had opposite effects on Zn and Cd accumulation in the plants. Overall, FXZ2 has great potential for application in Cd phytoextraction and reducing Zn toxicity in important agricultural crops.

Summary: The effect of sodium chloride (NaCl) on cadmium (Cd) tolerance, uptake, translocation, and compartmentation in barley was studied. NaCl did not significantly affect plant development and biomass production, but Cd alone reduced plant development rate and biomass production. NaCl addition accentuated the Cd effect on plant growth. NaCl limited Cd accumulation in the roots and shoots by reducing Cd-absorption efficiency and translocation. However, NaCl increased Cd toxicity and limited plant yield.

Summary: Barley is a major cereal crop with thousands of varieties that can be classified into different categories based on their subspecies and type. This study explores the morphological diversity of barley grains and their relationship to sowing time and environmental conditions. The findings have implications for studying archaeological barley seeds and understanding the evolution of barley diversity.

Summary: This study identified a gene (HvGST) responsible for the blue aleurone trait in Tibetan qingke barley and found its involvement in the transport and accumulation of anthocyanin in purple barley. The analysis revealed two independent natural variants responsible for the emergence of white aleurone in different barley varieties. This study provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of colored barley formation and serves as a reference for marker-assisted barley breeding.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to explain the reasons for the difference in seed dormancy between wild and cultivated barley. Results showed that wild barley exhibited deep dormancy when germinated at 28°C, which may be due to low water content, slow water absorption, lower soluble protein, MDA content and ion leakage. The deep dormancy of wild barley could be broken by 1°C through increasing antioxidative enzyme activity, elevating seed germination-promoting phytohormones (JA, TZ, TZR) and decreasing seed germination-inhibiting phytohormones (ABA, IAA, SA) in cultivated barley. The genetic variance in genes related to phytohormone metabolism and antioxidative enzymes between wild and cultivated barley may be responsible for the germination difference.

Summary: Seed longevity in Arabidopsis thaliana is regulated by multiple genetic factors, including the transcription factor DOF4.1. It is found that DOF4.1 contributes to seed longevity by reducing seed permeability and increasing the levels of seed storage proteins. The expression of DOF4.1 is negatively regulated by DOF1.8, which suggests their involvement in seed development and longevity.

Summary: Phosphorus limitation can increase carbon content and sinking rate of phytoplankton, enhancing the efficiency of carbon export and partially offsetting the decrease in biological pump capacity caused by phosphorus deficiency. However, further research is needed to validate the experimental results.

Summary: This study finds that microRNA444 from the MIR444 gene family is involved in regulating the expression of transcription factors in barley. The study also shows that these genes undergo alternative splicing to produce functional and nonfunctional transcripts. Additionally, experimental evidence suggests that PEP444c is involved in the biogenesis of microRNA444c in barley.

Summary: Seed priming with gibberellic acid (GA3) was the most effective in improving barley's resistance to salinity stress. Priming with salicylic acid (SA) improved salt tolerance by activating antioxidant defense mechanisms and inhibiting reactive oxygen species accumulation.

Summary: Barley has abundant accessions rich in anthocyanin, making it an ideal model for studying the regulatory mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis. Two transcription factors, Ant1 and Ant2, were characterized in this study, with their co-expression promoting anthocyanin accumulation in transgenic barley grains. Manipulating the expression of Ant1 can lead to the production of anthocyanin-enriched barley grains.

Summary: In this study, a new member of the WRI1 family, named PrWRI1, was isolated from tree peony and found to be highly expressed in immature seeds. Overexpression of PrWRI1 significantly increased fatty acid content, particularly unsaturated fatty acids, in plants. The up-regulation of genes related to fatty acid synthesis and triacylglycerol assembly was also observed.
