Summary: This study aimed to establish an efficient plant regeneration system from leaf-derived embryogenic structure cultures of Daphne genkwa. Induced embryogenic structures were formed from leaf explants by culturing on different concentrations of culture medium with added hormones. The yellow embryonic structure (YES) and white embryonic structure (WES) were developed and successfully regenerated into whole plants.

Summary: Vigna radiata L., an important legume crop in Pakistan, suffers from fungal damage. The use of natural compounds to manage mung-bean fungal diseases is an innovative approach. Aqueous culture filtrates of Penicillium species were evaluated for their antagonistic effect on Phoma herbarum, and P. janczewskii showed the most significant inhibition. Furthermore, the metabolites of P. janczewskii were found to have a suppressive effect on the transcript level of the StSTE12 gene involved in appressorium development. The study highlights the strong fungicidal potential of Penicillium species against P. herbarum and suggests further analysis to isolate effective fungicidal constituents.

Summary: In this study, two strains of Streptomyces with potent anti-oomycete activity against Phytophthora palmivora were isolated from rhizosphere soil, showing exceptional plant growth-promoting properties. Metagenomic analysis suggested that one strain may modify rhizosphere microbial communities to promote beneficial microbes for plant growth. Genome sequence analysis indicated that this strain should be classified as a new species.

Summary: This study found that the combined treatment of mung bean seeds with direct air CAP and air PAW did not negatively impact seed germination and growth, while reducing the microbial population in sprouts. Additionally, sustained plasma treatment through irrigation with PAW significantly enhanced seedling growth, supporting further applications of plasma in the agro-food industry.

Summary: HM pollution of soil is a global issue that negatively affects plant growth, physiology, and yield. Different levels of cadmium (Cd) have significant impacts on the growth, physiology, and yield attributes of Vigna radiata, including reductions in chlorophyll and calcium contents, and increases in amino acids, soluble proteins, and total soluble sugars. Seed yield and thousand seed weight also decrease with higher Cd concentrations.

Summary: Mung bean seedlings are severely damaged by chromium contamination, which limits their growth and physiological characteristics. Using Azospirillum brasilense and salicylic acid together appears to be a viable way to combat stress brought on by chromium and promote general plant growth. Greater nutrient intake, increased antioxidant enzyme activity, and greater root growth are examples of synergistic effects. This strategy has the ability to reduce oxidative stress brought on by chromium, enhancing plant resistance to adverse circumstances. The study offers new perspectives on sustainable practices that hold potential for increasing agricultural output and guaranteeing food security.

Summary: This study revealed that the highest frequency of embryogenic callus formation from immature zygotic embryos of Euonymus alatus was achieved with 1 mg/L 2,4-D on MS medium. Moreover, 3% (w/v) sucrose treatment was found to be optimal for somatic embryo formation.

Summary: This study established an efficient protocol for callus induction and maintenance of dandelion, with hypocotyls and roots from sterile seedlings being the best sources for callus induction. The optimal conditions for callus induction were complete darkness with a medium supplemented with 2.3% sucrose, 0.5 mg/L NAA, and 0.5 mg/L BAP.

Summary: Fructans, a complex group of carbohydrates, play a role in plant growth regulation, tolerance to drought and cold, and their metabolism is influenced by plant growth regulators (PGR). The synthesis and catabolism of fructans occur in plant cells and their metabolism varies with plant development stage and environmental factors.

Summary: Leaf size in Brassica crops is determined by the coordinated regulation of cell proliferation and cell expansion during leaf development, controlled by various integrated signals from the intrinsic regulatory network and the growth environment. Important genetic regulators influencing leaf size in Brassica have been identified, with their mechanisms involving phytohormone biosynthesis and signaling, transcription regulation, small RNAs, and others. These findings provide insights for future molecular breeding and crop improvement research.

Summary: Fourteen active chemical ingredients are registered in Japan as plant growth regulators (PGRs) for floricultural use. These PGRs, including plant hormones such as auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, and ethylene, regulate plant growth and development. The registered PGRs have had few changes, but new uses are being identified and the range of applicable crops is increasing. This review provides an overview of PGRs in Japanese floriculture and summarizes the research on physiological and molecular processes underlying their practical applications.
