Summary: Salt stress induces significant changes in gene expression and metabolites in Sophora alopecuroides, particularly in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway. The synthesis of lignin and flavonoids, which are correlated with differentially expressed genes and differential metabolites, may play a role in removing ROS in root tissue and reducing damage caused by salt stress. This study provides new insights and genetic resources for understanding plant responses to salt stress and enhancing salt tolerance in plants.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the differences in accumulation of phenolic compounds between geographically distant populations of Achillea millefolium. It was found that the content of phenolic compounds in plant materials from northern latitudes was more than twice that of plants from southern latitudes. The significant correlation of individual phenolic compounds with latitude/longitude revealed differences between two countries. The findings suggest that spatial geographical data on the distribution of phenolic compounds in A. millefolium populations could be used to find potential collection sites for high-quality raw materials.

Summary: Phenolic acids and flavonoids are important secondary metabolites in plants, with various health benefits and vital roles in plant biology and interactions with the environment. Genetic and genomic tools have been used to identify QTLs and candidate genes associated with the biosynthesis of these compounds in tomato, eggplant, and pepper. Combining molecular tools and genetic variability can be used to improve the content of phenolic compounds in these vegetables. However, more research is needed to identify candidate genes and understand their interactions with other genes and QTLs.

Summary: This study provides an overview of the structure, classification, regulatory mechanisms, and biological functions of basic leucine zipper transcription factors (bZIPs) and their molecular mechanisms in the biosynthesis of various secondary metabolites. bZIPs are highly conserved transcription factors in eukaryotic organisms and play crucial roles in plant growth and development, stress response, and secondary metabolism. The paper elaborates on the structure, classification, biological function, and regulatory mechanisms of bZIPs, as well as their molecular mechanisms in regulating the biosynthesis of flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, phenolic acids, and lignin. This review is significant for understanding the molecular mechanisms of bZIPs in secondary metabolite synthesis and plant molecular breeding.

Summary: This study found that low temperature storage prevented the formation of healing periderm in wounded potatoes and led to a decrease in hydrogen peroxide content, inhibition of starch-to-sugar conversion, reduction in soluble sugar and sucrose content, decrease in lignin accumulation, and lower suberin deposition due to down-regulation of phenylpropanoid metabolism and fatty acid biosynthesis in potato tubers.

Summary: The Xoc TAL effector Tal2b was found to activate the expression of the OsF3H(03g) gene in rice, leading to reduced salicylic acid defense and increased susceptibility to bacterial leaf streak and bacterial blight. Additionally, OsF3H(03g) interacts with the OsUGT74H4 protein, which further enhances susceptibility to bacterial leaf streak and potentially inactivates salicylic acid through glycosylation modification.

Summary: This study identified guanine as an active component of the plant immune inducer ZhiNengCong (ZNC) and found its significant effect in inducing plant resistance to pathogens. Guanine activates reactive oxygen species, callose deposition, and mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation. It was also discovered that guanine-induced plant resistance depends on ethylene and jasmonic acid signaling pathways and provides a broad-spectrum resistance for the activation of plant immunity, making it an efficient and environmentally friendly biological elicitor for bacterial and fungal disease biocontrol.

Summary: Through the study, it has been discovered that silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) can stimulate plant immune system to protect rice from rice blast disease. Foliar treatment with an appropriate concentration significantly reduces disease severity, but excessive concentration weakens plant resistance and worsens the disease. Root treatment with SiO2 NPs can achieve better fungal resistance through systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and also promote root development.

Summary: This study identified a Bacillus subtilis strain N-18 isolated from the rhizosphere of healthy plants grown in FCRR areas, which produced volatile organic compounds with inhibitory effects on Fusarium oxysporum. Acetoin and 2-heptanol, two active ingredients in the VOCs produced by N-18, were found to reduce the incidence of FCRR in tomato plants. Molecular docking results suggested that acetoin interacts with a hypothetical protein in F. oxysporum.
