Comparative transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis reveals mechanisms of selenium-regulated anthocyanin synthesis in waxy maize (Zea mays L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science
Anthocyanins in maize (Zea mays L.) kernels determine the plant’s color and can enhance its resistance. Selenium (Se) significantly impacts plant growth, development, and secondary metabolic regulation.

Cytological, Physiological, and Transcriptomic Analyses of the Leaf Color Mutant Yellow Leaf 20 (yl20) in Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)

Plants
Leaf color mutants are ideal materials for studying chlorophyll metabolism, chloroplast development, and photosynthesis in plants. We discovered a novel eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) mutant yl20 (yellow leaf 20) that exhibits yellow leaves.

Plant drought stress: physiological, biochemical and molecular mechanisms

Plant Stress
Drought is a severe constraint that affects growth and limits plant productivity on a global scale and its impact is increasing with climate change. To adapt to moisture gradients in soil, plants alter their growth and physiology.

Effects of Intercropping and Nitrogen Application on Soil Fertility and Microbial Communities in Peanut Rhizosphere Soil

Agronomy
The intercropping of peanuts and sugarcane is a sustainable planting model that deserves in-depth research. For this study, two variables, i.e., intercropping status (peanut monocropping or sugarcane/peanut intercropping) and the level of nitrogen ...

Effects of Exogenous Tannase and Papain on the Flavor Quality of Black Tea During Fermentation

Foods
This study systematically investigated the application effects of exogenous enzymes (tannase/papain) during black tea fermentation, aiming to optimize flavor. Tannase treatment significantly reduced astringent substances like tea polyphenols and enhanced
