Matured compost amendment improves compost nutrient content by changing the bacterial community during the composting of Chinese herb residues

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Composting is a sustainable strategy to deal with organic waste. Our research aimed to study the influence of an amendment of 10% matured compost (MC) during Chinese herb residue (CHR) compost. Here, a 60-day CHR compost was performed, and MC application

24-Epibrassnolide Alleviates the Adverse Effect of Salinity on Rice Grain Yield through Enhanced Antioxidant Enzyme and Improved K⁺/Na⁺ Homeostasis

Agronomy, 2022
Previous researchers have focused on the role of 24-epibrassnolide (EBR) in alleviating stresses in plants, whereas the effect of EBR on rice grain yield formation from the perspective of the whole growth stage remains less concerned.
