Summary: In humid climate regions, a short period of water deficit during the vegetative growth and tuberization stages affects potato plant growth, yield and tuber quality. Longer water deficit duration delays flowering and reduces total biomass, yield, tuber dry matter content and share of large tubers.

Summary: Penetrated cracks were discovered in 316LN stainless steel elbows in an auxiliary system of a Chinese nuclear power plant after 19 years of service. The cracked elbow, with a nominal diameter of 12 inches, was investigated for its chemical composition, hardness, microstructure, and residual strain to determine the root cause of the cracking. The results indicate that the heavily cold-worked elbow experienced stress corrosion cracking in the occluded primary water due to non-compliance with RCC-M M3317 for solution treatment prior to delivery.

Summary: Short periods of water deficit have negative impacts on potato vegetative growth and tuber yield and quality, while short periods of water excess have slightly positive impacts. The most sensitive periods to water deficit are the vegetative and tuberization stages, with mostly no significant differences between different growth stages for water excess. The study confirms the benefits of supplemental irrigation and suggests strategic use of water during critical growth stages to maximize these benefits in water-limited conditions.

Summary: The translation introduces the concept of selenium polymer nanocomposites (SeNCs) and discusses their biological activity and impact on plant growth. The study focuses on the synthesis of SeNCs using polysaccharides from medicinal mushrooms and evaluates their effects on potato plant growth and tuber germination. The results show that mushroom-based SeNCs have a positive effect on plant growth and exhibit anti-phytopathogenic activity, suggesting their potential for use in enhancing crop yield.

Summary: This study developed a pipeline using natural language processing on biological literature to generate knowledge networks, focusing on the flesh color trait of potato. The time-based analysis of these networks revealed connections between the trait and a candidate gene, demonstrating the potential of network-assisted hypothesis generation in scientific research.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of biostimulants and growth regulators on the yield and chemical composition of edible potato tubers. Results showed that the application of Asahi SL and Tytanit biostimulants increased the overall yield and weight of tubers. Aminoplant had a positive effect on marketable yield, but Moddus 250 EC decreased yield and mean tuber weight under high rainfall conditions.

Summary: Small-molecule plant hormones play a crucial role in controlling plant growth, development, differentiation, and environmental responses. Through genomic decoding of model plants with genetic mutants, scientists have elucidated the molecular mechanisms of nine types of plant hormones and identified the structure of hormone receptors. Studies on the three-dimensional structure of ligand-receptor complexes have revealed the details of ligand perception mechanisms.

Summary: This review explores the use of biochar in root and tuber crops, focusing on its potential applications for improving crop growth, yield, and controlling parasitic nematodes. It has been observed that biochar application increases the growth and yield of root and tuber crops, and has the ability to control plant-parasitic nematodes. However, more research is needed to fully understand the impact of different types of biochar and its effectiveness in controlling nematodes.

Summary: Cruciferous vegetables are rich in glucosinolates (GSLs), which not only contribute to flavor formation but also possess anti-cancer, disease-resistance, and insect-resistance properties. The content and composition of GSLs are influenced by genotypes, environmental factors, hormones, plant growth regulators, and mineral elements. This review discusses the effects of exogenous substances on GSLs and proposes future research directions.

Summary: Autophagy is a vital process in plant cells for degrading cellular material, regulated by developmental stages and environmental changes through signaling pathways. TOR kinase activity is a key regulator of autophagy initiation, which can be suppressed under nutrient starvation and stress conditions to promote autophagy.

Summary: Strigolactones, initially known as germination stimulants for certain plants, have been found to play crucial roles in various aspects of plant growth and defense. They interact with other phytohormones and are involved in root and shoot architecture, pathogen interaction, and nutrient uptake. Furthermore, Strigolactones have been identified as important factors in abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. This review highlights the importance of understanding Strigolactones and their complex interaction networks for crop improvement and modern agriculture.

Summary: Plant hormones play crucial roles in growth, development, and environmental adaptation. Understanding hormone signaling networks is important for monitoring hormone production, transportation, perception, and distribution. Various tools, such as transcriptional reporters and degradation sensors, are available for quantifying and visualizing hormone dynamics.

Summary: There is public interest in developing bio-surfactants due to their low toxicity and high biodegradation potential. However, their biological, surface, and behavior with agrochemicals have not been investigated. The study found that the bio-surfactants rhamnolipid (RL) and surfactin (SF) were more effective in reducing the surface tension of trifloxysulfuron-sodium spray solution compared to the synthetic surfactant dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (DOSS). At 1.5 to 4x CMC, their effects were comparable to DOSS. RL and SF were comparable to DOSS in terms of dosage, safety, and efficacy when mixed with trifloxysulfuron-sodium.
