Summary: The combination of biochar and effective microorganisms can effectively promote the growth of Sesbania cannabina in saline-alkali soil, increase soil fertility, and enhance plant nutrient uptake. Simultaneous application of biochar and effective microorganisms can efficiently reduce soil salinity, improve soil quality, and promote plant growth.

Summary: Two new 2-arylbenzofurans derivatives, sesbcanfuran A and B, as well as six known derivatives were isolated from the stems of Sesbania cannabina. The structures of these compounds were determined using spectroscopic methods. Compound 2 exhibited the highest cytotoxicity against MCF-2 and A549 cell lines, while the other compounds showed moderate activity or were inactive.

Summary: Salt stress causes cytotoxicity, disrupting the vacuolization process and mitotic division, leading to inhibited plant growth. The experiment evaluated the effects of different NaCl concentrations on sunflower seeds, showing that salt stress increases vacuolization, decreases mitotic index, and increases chromosomal aberrations.

Summary: In this study, several different products with varying molecular weights were obtained from the degradation of Sesbania cannabina galactomannan (GM). The immunomodulatory activity of these products was investigated, and it was found that the activity depended on the hydroxyl groups and TLR4.

Summary: The study evaluated the antidiabetic activity of galactomannan (SP) extracted from Chinese Sesbania cannabina seeds on diabetic mice, showing significant reductions in blood glucose and lipids with SP treatment. SP improved insulin sensitivity and intestinal microbiota composition, potentially reducing insulin resistance and blood glucose levels in diabetic mice. These findings suggest SP as a potential functional food for managing diabetes in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Summary: The rheological properties of galactomannan from Sesbania cannabina were evaluated in this study. The galactomannan showed a shear-thinning behavior and had higher viscosity and heat stability at high concentrations. It also exhibited good stability over a wide pH range. Dynamic viscoelasticity measurements revealed a transition from viscous to elastic behavior with increasing frequency.

Summary: Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration and frequent droughts may give invasive weeds competitive advantages over crops, impacting productivity and herbicide efficacy. A study on Sesbania cannabina growth and management under different climatic scenarios found that 100% field capacity and elevated CO2 concentration of 700 ppm led to better plant growth, while recommended glyphosate application achieved 100% weed biomass reduction but with reduced efficacy at 50% of the recommended rate under certain conditions.

Summary: This study aimed to uncover the mechanisms influencing pollen fertility at the cytological and transcriptomic levels in newly synthesized Brassica allohexaploids. Synthetic allohexaploids were created by crossing B. carinata and B. rapa, followed by chromosome doubling. The results showed that pollen fertility was significantly reduced, and irregular meiotic events and abnormal microspore development were observed. Gene regulation analysis indicated that genes related to flower development were upregulated, while genes related to chromosome segregation were downregulated, potentially contributing to the reduction in pollen fertility.

Summary: Several genes were found to be overexpressed in B16-F10 cells, including Nr5a1/sf1 and Hoxb8 which are known to be linked with tumor progression and metastasis. Additionally, B16-F10 cells acquired additional chromosomal aberrations compared to B16-F1 cells. The study identified numerous novel genes and genomic aberrations that may serve as potential targets for future treatment strategies.

Summary: The present study focuses on the use of dead fungal mycelium as novel adsorbents for defluorination, and the results showed that the isolated fungus Aspergillus niger exhibited high fluoride adsorption capacity. The biosorption behavior followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm. Additionally, the study also found genotoxic effects of fluoride water contamination on biota through chromosome analysis. Therefore, the research has both theoretical and practical significance in the management of environmental pollution.

Summary: In this study, two types of low-molecular-weight galactomannans from Sesbania cannabina were obtained and their structures were identified. The antioxidant and neuroprotective activities of these galactomannans were evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that the galactomannans have good free radicals scavenging ability and could protect zebrafish with neurological damage induced by Bisphenol AF.
