Summary: In this study, the effects of jasmonate and salicylate on the susceptibility of tomato plants to necrotrophic fungus R. solani were observed. It was found that salicylate priming provided better tolerance than jasmonate priming. Microscopic and molecular techniques revealed the defense mechanisms of salicylate and jasmonate during infection.

Summary: The study demonstrates the antimicrobial efficacy of Cholic Acid-Glycine Conjugates (CAGCs) against Xanthomonas Oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani) in rice. CAGC C6 is shown to be a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that can degrade biofilms, with minimal impact on plant growth. Exogenous application of C6 can reduce bacterial load and induce plant defense responses, while priming seeds with C6 enhances plant resistance.

Summary: Plants have evolved adaptive strategies to cope with pathogen infections, including establishing immune memory to enhance their responsiveness to pathogens. Seed priming, as an environmentally-friendly crop protection technique, can effectively induce plant immune memory and enhance disease resistance in crops.

Summary: We designed and synthesized simplified analogues of the herbicidal natural product (+)-cornexistin and evaluated their biological activity. Based on the X-Ray co-crystal structure of cornexistin bound to transketolase from Zea mays, we investigated the key interactions necessary for cornexistin's herbicidal profile. Three novel analogues were prepared, and the importance of substituents on the nine-membered ring of cornexistin was investigated. One analogue maintained a good level of biological activity and could provide insights for further optimization of cornexistin's structure in future commercialization.

Summary: Ascorbic acid (AA) and salicylic acid (SA) are effective antioxidants that protect plants against stresses, including salinity. In this study, we investigated the physiological response of wheat to AA and SA, as well as their combined treatment, under saline conditions. The results showed that the combined treatment of AA and SA significantly enhanced photosynthetic pigments, antioxidant content, and yield in wheat plants. Moreover, it reduced osmolytes and lipid peroxidation content. Our findings highlight the importance of using AA and SA as beneficial compounds for wheat farming under salty conditions.

Summary: This review provides a comprehensive overview of the important role of sulfur in crop protection chemistry. Sulfur is used as a fungicide in its elemental form, and also exists in agrochemicals in the form of sulfur-containing rings or functional groups. The review covers different sulfur-based functional groups, their synthesis approaches, and their representative compounds in crop protection. (c) 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Summary: The application of phytohormones through seed priming, such as salicylic acid (SA), can enhance the quality of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) under heavy metal stress. In this study, priming menthol mint plants with SA was found to regulate plant growth and overcome the adverse effects of cadmium (Cd) stress, while increasing secondary metabolite accumulation.

Summary: This study conducted a field experiment to investigate the significance of iron oxide nanoparticles as seed priming agents in alleviating water stress and improving the agronomic characteristics of flax plants. The results showed that seed priming with iron oxide increased plant growth, yield, and antioxidant enzyme activity, while reducing oxidative stress indicators. This demonstrates the potential of iron oxide particles in mitigating water stress.

Summary: The study reveals that disabling susceptibility (S) genes is a promising alternative to confer durable and broad-spectrum disease resistance in breeding programs. In tomato, SlDMR6-1 shows enhanced resistance to various pathogens when up-regulated, accompanied by increased salicylic acid (SA) levels and transcriptional activation of immune responses.

Summary: To meet the increasing global population, rice production is necessary throughout all three seasons. However, the impact of low temperature stress, especially during seed germination in winter, is becoming more severe due to global climate change. Seed priming with different chemicals has been found to be an effective method to improve rice seed germination under low temperature stress. In this study, seeds treated with salicylic acid at 0.5 mM showed significantly higher seed germination, seedling length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index, and better stress-related enzyme activities compared to other treatments during seed germination under low temperature stress.

Summary: AQPs are a large family of transmembrane proteins, and in silver birch, there are 33 putative AQP genes belonging to five subfamilies with different functions and features. The gene structure is conserved within each subfamily, with predicted specificities in transport to various non-aqueous substrates. 23 BpeAQP genes are transcribed, but there is no significant transcriptional expression in leaves in response to cold stress.

Summary: The commercial extract of the seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum had a significant enhancing effect on bud regeneration in Nicotiana benthamiana and promoted rhizogenesis in Prunus domestica. While it couldn't replace the need for a micropropagation medium alone, its combination with a half-strength MS medium improved plant growth parameters. This study suggests potential use of A. nodosum extracts in mass propagation of higher plants in vitro.

Summary: The present study aimed to evaluate the activities of chitosan and chitosan hydroxyapatite nanoparticles against two major diseases affecting tomato crop. The results showed that chitosan hydroxyapatite nanoparticles exhibited better inhibition against verticillium wilt, and significantly reduced disease severity in greenhouse trials. Additionally, both compounds showed promising effects in reducing pepino mosaic virus disease severity and virus accumulation, possibly due to the activation of antioxidant enzymes.
