Summary: Recent studies have shown that sulfur dioxide (SO2) plays a positive role in stress defense responses in plants, especially in seed germination. SO2 treatment can significantly promote seed germination and vigor in maize by increasing reactive oxygen species levels and NADPH oxidase activities, leading to elevated alpha-amylase activity and transcripts. These findings suggest that SO2 may function as a signaling molecule in plant growth and development, specifically in seed germination control.

Summary: The study revealed that nano-sized aluminum oxyhydroxide particles had negative impacts on V. radiata plants, reducing biomass production, damaging cellular membrane stability, and increasing chlorophyll content. Exposure to 12 mM nBhm resulted in oxidative and nitrosative bursts, as well as activation of antioxidative machinery and non-enzymatic antioxidants. The findings suggest a dose-dependent toxicity of nBhm on V. radiata, with higher concentrations above or equal to 8 mM showing greater negative effects.

Summary: In addition to gravity, roots are guided by light to grow deep into the soil due to photoreceptors like phototropins. The involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in light-induced root growth in Vigna radiata seedlings was explored in this study. Pharmacological evidence suggests a positive role of ROS in light-escape growth, with elevated levels of apoplastic ROS in light grown roots indicating their instrumental role in cell wall relaxation required for growth.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of elevated carbon dioxide (e[CO2]) on the quality of mungbean seeds, including germination and vigour. The results showed that exposure to e[CO2] did not have a major impact on seed viability, but in one season, there was a slight reduction in seed germination attributed to an increase in hard seeds. However, there were no differences in seed vigour between seeds produced in ambient and e[CO2] environments. Additionally, seeds from e[CO2] had lower protein and sugar content, but higher starch content compared to seeds from ambient [CO2].

Summary: The synthetic auxin 2,4-D triggers plant growth defects such as leaf epinasty and stem curvature, with ACX1 identified as a key source of ROS production and involvement in auxin-related signaling pathways. Different organelles play distinct roles in plant responses to 2,4-D, with ACX1 regulating protein degradation associated with auxin signaling.

Summary: The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) has led to an increase in their presence in the environment, posing a potential threat to plants and the ecosystem. Experiments show that SNPs have toxic effects on seed germination, growth, and biochemical parameters in Vigna radiata, with variations in toxicity levels depending on the plant variety. Further research is needed to understand the full implications of SNPs on different plant species and to establish guidelines for their safe use.

Summary: Mungbean is an important legume crop known for its high protein content and nitrogen-fixing abilities. However, it is susceptible to low temperatures at all stages of plant growth, leading to severe yield losses. Through germination-based screening of 204 germplasms, a cold-tolerant genotype (PAU911) was identified and key germination parameters related to cold tolerance were found. This study provides valuable information for breeding programs aiming to improve the sustainable growth of mungbean.

Summary: This study explored the physiological responses of mung bean seed germination to osmotic potential, temperature, and their interaction. The results showed that an increase in temperature between 25 and 35 degrees C enhanced the germination rate, and the germination rate was more sensitive to changes than temperature. Studies utilizing the hydrothermal time model for seed germination patterns of Vigna radiata var. Ramzan have not been published.

Summary: Cerium oxide nanoparticles have been studied for their role as an antioxidant in inflammatory and oxidative stress-related diseases. However, their potential as a growth modulator and heavy metal stress reliever in plants and bacteria has been overlooked. This study highlights the ability of cerium oxide nanoparticles to reduce oxidative stress and promote growth in Vigna radiata and Bacillus coagulans in the presence of mercury. It also demonstrates the non-hazardous nature of nanoceria. These findings pave the way for the use of cerium oxide nanoparticles in combating abiotic stress in plants and other organisms.
