Root exudates (REs), a diverse array of bioactive metabolites secreted by plant roots in response to environmental stimuli, serve as key mediators of rhizosphere ecology and plant defense responses, offering a promising avenue for sustainable pest management and eco-friendly plant protection. While...

Heavy metal (HMs) toxicity is one of the major critical threats for agricultural plants production and global food security. In this current scenario, ecofriendly and hazardous free sustainable crop production strategies for detoxifying and tolerating HMs is imperative. This update study provides th...

Based on a sample of 412 apple farmer households across Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Shandong provinces in China, this study estimates production efficiency and its determinants for apple growers. The stochastic frontier analysis model estimates technical efficiency while the Tobit model identifies i...

Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is one of the most devastating invasive insects and it is native to North America. It feeds on several wild species of the genus Solamum, such as S. elaeagnifolium and S. rostratum Dunal, and is one of the major pests of potato and eggplant. Beginning in the early 19th c...

Many vascular plants produce adhesive substances that may trap arthropods for their own protection, nutrition, and to engage in mutualistic relationships with predatory arthropods. While the role of stickiness in plant defense is well established, our understanding of the mechanisms and factors that...

Maximum height (Hmax) is a principal driver or correlate of interspecific variation in many plant functional traits. Still, it remains unclear why leaf resource economic traits are invariant with Hmax at global scale and why broad-scale interspecific trait correlations are not retained at local scal...

Lipid droplets (LDs) have emerged as dynamic organelles central to plant lipid metabolism, stress adaptation, and energy homeostasis. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding LD biogenesis and degradation in plants, highlighting conserved and divergent mechanisms relative to other eu...

Primula sieboldii E. Morren is a widely cultivated ornamental plant with horticultural and pharmacological value. However, the lack of a developed transformation system has limited genetic studies and biotechnological applications of this species. In this study, we established a transformation metho...

Plants, often exposed to unfavorable external conditions and pathogen attacks, have developed a remarkably complex network of RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. This allows them to adapt gene expression to environmental cues and protects their genomes from invading nucleic acids. The process involves...

Secondary metabolites are low-molecular-weight organic compounds produced by plants under specific conditions. While they are not directly involved in fundamental growth and developmental processes, they play crucial roles in plant defense, protection, and regulation. These compounds mainly include...
