ABSTRACT The application of Plant Growth‐Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) in agriculture is increasingly emphasized as a sustainable alternative to hazardous agrochemicals. This study aimed to isolate and characterize PGPR strains from the rhizospheric soil of Arachis hypogaea L., hypothesizing that the rhizosphere of a healthy plant harbors beneficial ...

Abstract BACKGROUND Elevated levels of tropospheric ozone (O3) pose a significant threat to plant health and productivity. Developing ozone‐tolerant varieties is crucial for mitigating these environmental stresses. This study investigates the effects of ascorbic acid (AA) and silicic acid (SA) treatments on 12 different mung bean varieties under ...

The Roles of Epigenetics in the Interplay Between Beneficial Rhizobacteria and Plants
The activity of PGPR in soil enhances the availability of nutrients and hormones secreted by these PGPRs, while nutrients acquired from PGPR‐enriched soil induce epigenetic modifications in plants. These altered epigenetic marks subsequently regulate plant gene expression patterns, including those involved in metabolite synthesis (such as root exudates)

Genetic Analysis of Axillary Meristem Development in Arabidopsis: Roles of MIR164, CUC1, CUC2, CUC3 and LAS, and identification of novel regulators. [PDF]
Aerial architecture and reproductive success in higher plants is determined by the formation of secondary axes of growth which are formed by axillary meristems initiated post-embryonically in the axils of leaves.

Abstract The flowering time (FTi) plays a critical role in the reproductive success and yield of various crop species by directly impacting both the quality and quantity of grain yield. Achieving optimal FTi is crucial for maximizing reproductive success and ensuring overall agricultural productivity.

Abstract Seed dormancy is an adaptation that delays germination to prevent the start of this process during unsuitable conditions. It is crucial in wild species but its loss was selected during crop domestication to ensure a fast and uniform germination. Water uptake, or imbibition, is the first step of germination.

Abstract The length of fruit branches significantly influences plant architecture in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), which is crucial for optimizing fiber yield and quality. In this study, a comprehensive genome‐wide association study was conducted based on whole‐genome resequencing data that identified 249 significant SNPs associated with fruit

A first herbivore attack primes direct and indirect defences of newly formed oak leaves and, the specific display of defence priming is regulated by rhythmic growth, and modulated by the interaction with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Piloderma croceum. Therefore, the priming memory in oaks can be transmitted to the next growth cycle. GC, growth cycle; SF,

Insights into the genomic divergence of maize heterotic groups in China
Seven core heterotic groups were differentiated in maize germplasm from China, and these groups showed regionality and uniqueness at the genomic level. The environmental adaptability of heterotic groups was improved by selection for more stress tolerance‐related genes for adaptation to the complex and changeable climate.
