Summary: This study identified key CKs metabolic genes from the Phalaenopsis genome and investigated their expression profiles and endogenous CKs dynamics under thidiazuron (TDZ) treatments. The results showed that TDZ treatment promoted shoot proliferation in Phalaenopsis and significantly increased the levels of CK-ribosides. Overexpression of certain CKs metabolic genes resulted in increased or decreased levels of CK-ribosides, suggesting their regulatory roles in CKs metabolism. These findings provide a better understanding of CKs metabolism in Phalaenopsis micropropagation.

Summary: The study highlighted the role of ethylene in Arabidopsis response to arsenic stress, showing differential responses among six ethylene biosynthesis and signaling mutants. The mutants eto1-1 and ctr1-10 exhibited tolerance, with eto1-1 and ctr1-10 showing higher expression of genes involved in arsenic detoxification compared to the sensitive mutant, ein2-T. The findings suggest a GSH-dependent pathway regulated by ethylene during arsenic stress.

Summary: Identification of chemical markers in food additives and dietary supplements is crucial for quality and efficacy assessment. Spirulina has been widely studied for its biological effects, and apocarotenoids in spirulina were found to significantly repress the expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 in vitro. This approach utilizing bioassay-guided fractionation and analysis methods could be applied to establish markers in other dietary supplements.

Summary: In this study, the diversity among 23 superior drumstick genotypes from different regions of India was analyzed using 27 RAPD markers. The results showed that RAPD markers were highly polymorphic, with 471 out of 519 bands being polymorphic. The marker RAPD-3 displayed the highest discriminatory power. The UPGMA cluster analysis grouped the genotypes into two main clusters, indicating a high level of genetic diversity.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of storage temperature and treatment method on anthocyanin accumulation and ethylene signal pathway in plum fruit. The results showed that fruits stored at 10℃ had higher ethylene production rate and more anthocyanin in the flesh. Exogenous ethylene treatment increased anthocyanin accumulation, while 1-MCP treatment inhibited anthocyanin accumulation.

Summary: Bamboo, as a fast-growing plant, has significant socioeconomic value. However, industrial overexploitation and inadequate resource management have led to a growing gap between the supply and demand for bamboo. The use of biotechnology can enhance and regulate bamboo growth for environmentally friendly output. This review provides a thorough overview of bamboo biotechnology for improved utilization and adaptation as a sustainable bioresource.

Summary: This study found that applying 1.0 mu L L-1 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to 'Yuluxiang' pear can delay the appearance of greasy coating and yellowing on the peel. 1-MCP treatment maintains higher fruit firmness and chlorophyll content, decreases respiration rate, postpones the peak of ethylene production rate, and reduces the greasiness index of the peel. Furthermore, 1-MCP also decreases the expression of genes related to ethylene synthesis and signal transduction, chlorophyll breakdown, and wax accumulation.

Summary: This study evaluated the negative impacts of aflatoxin on Nile tilapia and the ameliorative effects of Moringa oleifera. The results showed that M. oleifera supplementation at 0.5% improved the adverse effects of aflatoxin on the growth performance and immune-related gene expression in the fish.

Summary: This study evaluated the sensitivity of ten maize cultivars to the plant growth regulator ethephon and found variations in response among different cultivars and growing areas. Ethephon reduced maize plant height and ear height, while increasing the crushing strength of the base internode, leading to improved lodging resistance. Changes in transcriptional levels related to phytohormones were also observed, indicating the association between key factors and ethylene sensitivity in maize. These findings contribute to our understanding of lodging resistance and provide implications for evaluating ethylene sensitivity in maize cultivars under different pedo-climatic conditions.

Summary: The study revealed that ethylene treatment increased carotenoid content in peach fruit, promoting fruit coloration and softening, while 1-MCP treatment had the opposite effect. Gene expression analysis showed that ethylene and 1-MCP treatments affected the expression of carotenoid synthetic genes and transcription factors in postharvest peaches.

Summary: The study reveals that upon exposure to light, there is a shift in cell expansion patterns in cotyledons and hypocotyls of seedlings, where light activates cell expansion in cotyledons and suppresses it in hypocotyls. By defining the morphogenic index (MI) and identifying organ-specific molecular markers, it is possible to independently quantify growth dynamics of cotyledons and hypocotyls in Arabidopsis seedlings, providing a crucial tool for studying photomorphogenesis in seedlings.

Summary: This article traces the evolutionary origin of saffron crocus through ancient arts and recent genetics, focusing on the domestication and cultivation of saffron, and discussing its presumed autopolyploid origin involving cytotypes of wild Crocus cartwrightianus. Both ancient arts and modern genetic research converge in tracing the origin of saffron crocus to ancient Greece.
