Italian viper's bugloss (Echium italicum L.), a valuable plant of the Boraginaceae family, is considered an important source of biologically active compounds such as alkaloids, naphthalene, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds. Using natural fertilizers, particularly Ascophyllum nodosum extract (A. nodosum) offers many positive effects on plants while mitigating the impact of drought stress. For that point, the interaction of A. nodosum included four doses (0, 2, 4, and 6 % v/v) applied to the E.italicum plant under three levels of drought stress (100, 70, and 40 % field capacity, FC). Results indicated that fresh and dry weights of leaf and root, chlorophyll index, and leaf area, reduced with increased drought level. In contrast, relative water content (RWC), electrolyte leakage (EL), total soluble sugars (TSS), free proline content, and malondialdehyde (MDA) increased with enhanced drought level. The finding indicated that A. nodosum could mitigate the adverse effects of drought-stress conditions through increasing agronomic traits, photosynthetic pigments, RWC, free proline content, and TSS, and decreased MDA and EL. Furthermore, the application of A. nodosum extract enhanced key parameters, including total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity, and the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), and catalase (CAT) in both roots and leaves of E. italicum, under both normal and drought conditions. The maximum DPPH scavenging activity in the leaves and roots occurred at a 4 % A. nodosum, resulting in increases of 44.93 and 21.22 %, respectively, compared with the control group, under 70 % FC. Similarly, the highest shikonin was achieved at 4 % A. nodosum, which increased by 26.38 % compared with the control group, under 70 % FC. The application of A. nodosum at 4 % concentration is identified as the most effective treatment for enhancing the performance of E. italicum under drought stress. In conclusion, the findings underscore the beneficial effects of A. nodosum on mitigating drought stress through increasing proline accumulation, antioxidant enzyme activity, and shikonin in E. italicum.

Isatis indigotica Fortune is a plant with significant medicinal and dye value, and its characteristics are important for agricultural production and industrial uses. Therefore, elucidating the origin and evolutionary path of I. indigotica is crucial for increasing its economic value. Whole-genome resequencing was performed on 94 cultivated samples of I. indigotica. Principal component analysis and phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that Group 1 (g1) included I. indigotica found in regions in Northwest China and Northern China, whereas Group 2 (g2) included I. indigotica growing in other major Chinese production zones. Assessment of linkage disequilibrium in the genomes of g1 and g2 revealed that g1 has been subjected to more significant selective pressure than was g2. SNP-based structure and gene flow analyses highlighted the origin of I. indigotica in Northwest China and indicated that it subsequently spread to Northeast, Eastern, and Central China. Additionally, the use of single-nucleotide polymorphisms and morphological data in genome-wide association studies revealed significant differences in traits between g1 and g2. QTLs reveal genes that affect key traits on different chromosomes. Furthermore, KEGG and GO analyses revealed genes that affect metabolic pathways such as glutathione metabolism, pentose and glucuronate interconversion, and the biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites. Generally, the WGR and GWAS of I. indigotica disclosed its origin, evolutionary route, population distribution, selective pressure, trait variances, and the genes influencing key traits. In the future, through functional validation and molecular marker-assisted breeding, candidate genes associated with target traits can be used to cultivate superior varieties of I. indigotica.

Nanocelluloses (NCs)-based aerogels with hierarchical microarchitecture are highly sought after for their extraordinarily thermal insulation and adsorption properties. Nevertheless, their intrinsic flammability, complex manufacturing processes, and inadequate mechanical characteristics substantially restrict their extensive practical applications. Herein, a Pickering emulsion templated sequential reaction strategy is employed to fabricate elastic NCs-based aerogels with hierarchically porous structures. The pivotal aspect of this synthesis resides in the Pickering emulsion phases, facilitating the in-situ construction of a polyvinyltrimethoxysilane (PVTMS) decorated framework. The resultant aerogels feature a low density and exhibit exceptional resilience. The material also displays exceptional anisotropic thermal insulating properties, with a peak value of 11.5 mW·m⁻¹·K⁻¹ along the axial direction and a value ten times greater, reaching 115.2 mW·m⁻¹·K⁻¹, along the radial direction. Such a preparation method for the hybrid aerogels will offer noval perspectives in the field of advanced materials for multifunctional applications.

Wood—a natural biomass resource—contains abundant hydroxyl groups that easily absorb moisture, making it hydrophilic. However, excessive amounts of moisture can deform and decay wood, leading to its poor dimensional stability and limiting its applicability. In particular, the surface of wood is prone to freezing when exposed to cold environments. Epoxy resin (EP) is frequently employed to prevent this issue and improve the service life of wood. Herein, the surface of wood was treated with EP and 3-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane (KH570)-modified sunflower straw biochar (KH570@SFBC; the treated wood is referred to as KH570@SFBC-wood) to fabricate a coating with excellent photothermal properties, hydrophobicity, and durability. The changes in the static water contact angle and photothermal properties of wood under different lighting conditions were investigated. Results revealed that under these conditions, the surface temperature of KH570@SFBC-wood was higher than that of natural wood. Under 1-sun illumination (1000 W/m²), the surface temperature of KH570@SFBC-wood was 141.7 ℃ and ice melted on the surface within 10 s. KH570@SFBC-wood exhibited excellent hydrophobicity under harsh environmental conditions, such as while undergoing ultrasonic treatment and sandpaper abrasion as well as when immersed in a corrosive solvent. It also exhibited excellent stain resistance to liquids such as tea, juice, cola, milk, and coffee, which are commonly used in daily life. The developed coating exhibited excellent hydrophobicity, chemical stability, mechanical stability, photothermal stability, and self-cleaning and antifouling properties. Overall, the aforementioned fabrication method effectively improved the photothermal properties of wood and prolonged its surface freezing time, thereby expanding its applicability.

Natural rubber is an important industrial raw material and strategic resource, and the potential shortage of supply needs to be urgently solved. Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin (TKS) contains a significant amount of natural rubber in laticifers that is a secretory structure and its structure and development process are closely related to rubber production. Recently, the application of three-dimensional (3D) econstruction in plant promotes the understanding of relationship between internal structure and its function. However, 3D structural distribution and the developmental process of articulated laticifers in TKS has not been throughly studied. In this study, the three-dimensional pattern of TKS laticifers were obtained for the first time using micro-computed tomography imaging and found that the TKS laticifers interconnect into a network in each individual concentric layer. Notebly, the 3D analyses and paraffin section combined with histochemistry showed that the laticifer maturity from inside to outside of the root was positively correlated with natural rubber content. Furthermore, observations on the western blotting, immunofluorescence, and ultrastructure of laticifers indicated that autophagy is involved in the development of laticifers and the intensity of autophagy showed a trend from weak to strong and then weak from inside to outside of the root. Autophagosomes fused with lysosome structures to degrade most of the organelles and cytoplasmic compounds, which possibly provides precursor substances for the synthesis of rubber particles in TKS laticifers. In summary, these findings provided a theoretical basis for further exploring the mechanism of regulating the development of laticifers to increase the content of natural rubber.

Cellulose, a naturally abundant polysaccharide, has garnered significant attention as a recyclable and inexhaustible renewable resource, which offers a sustainable alternative to fossil-based polymers due to its edibility, environmental friendliness, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. To further enhance its applicability, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as innovative and green solvents owing to their exceptional low cost, easy fabrication, and non-toxicity, presenting new insights into cellulose chemistry by revealing the unique structure-property-application relationships. Thus, DESs are expected to become the preferred solvents for efficient cellulose dissolution. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of cellulose and DESs, highlighting the current advancements in cellulose dissolution using DESs, and exploring their potential in various cutting-edge applications. Moreover, we outline the opportunities and challenges associated with utilizing DESs for managing cellulose-based systems.

Twin-screw extrusion has recently seen its uses extended to the continuous green extraction of biomolecules. Here, it was successfully used for the extraction of antioxidants using subcritical water from two olive co-products, i.e., leaves (OL), and leaves plus branches (OLB). Extraction yields obtained were 52.5 % and 65.6 %, respectively, in proportion to the initial water-solubles. Total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities in the two freeze-dried extracts were 8.9 and 9.6 g gallic acid eq. per 100 g, and 9.8 and 12.1 g Trolox eq. per 100 g. These are of the same order of magnitude as those obtained in laboratory scale studies in which the extracts were obtained using ethanol rather than water as the extraction solvent, whether by maceration, Soxhlet or ultrasound. Twin-screw extrusion also enabled a high proportion of sugars to be co-extracted and, to a lesser extent, proteins, acetyl groups, and ash. For the future, this continuous industrial-scale technology represents a robust and economical methodology for the green extraction of antioxidants from olive leaves and branches. These extracts could find applications in agriculture or horticulture for plant protection, for food applications, or even in the cosmetics industry.

Two controlled-release pesticide systems based on layered double hydroxides (i.e. PDA/LDH@DNF and Zein/LDH@DNF) were developed to improve the anti-photodegradation and controlled release of dinotefuran (DNF) using polydopamine (PDA) or zein as the outer layer and layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as the inner carrier. Results showed that DNF was loaded into the LDHs surface by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic attraction, while both PDA and zein molecules were coated on the outer surface of LDH@DNF through hydrogen bonding. The loading proportions of PDA/LDH@DNF and Zein/LDH@DNF were as high as 10.17 % and 11.85 %, respectively. The PDA/LDH@DNF performed a pH-responsive release behavior due to the dissolution of carriers under different pH conditions. The cumulative amount of released DNF within 24 h at pH 5, 7, and 9 was 84.86 %, 59.59 %, and 33.44 %, respectively. On the other hand, Zein/LDH@DNF showed enzyme-responsive slow-release behavior. The final cumulative release of DNF from Zein/LDH@DNF in the presence of protease reached 46.77 % contrasting that of 24.69 % without adding protease. The anti-photodegradation capacities of DNF in PDA/LDH@DNF and Zein/LDH@DNF were improved to nearly 2.5 times higher than that of DNF without protection under ultraviolet irradiation. Compared with the commercial dinotefuran granules, the prepared systems enhanced the immobilization of DNF by reducing pesticide leaching by 54.55–64.72 % in soil. The two controlled-release pesticide systems were environmental-friendly to non-targeted zebra fish according to biosafety evaluation. Consequently, this research provides a controlled and sustained technology for long-term pest management and thus enhance pesticide efficiency as well as decline contamination to environment.

Blackberry fruit (Rubus spp.) is a delicious fruit that is rich in pigments such as anthocyanins. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) stand as green efficient solvents for the recovery of pigments from various matrices in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. DES showed high efficiency for the recovery of anthocyanins from blackberry fruit. However, scientific data on the protective role and stability of pigments in DES is lacking. In the present study, we investigated the stabilization of anthocyanins from blackberry fruit extracted with choline chloride and glycerol-based DES (CHGLY). Stability tests including storage in darkness, light stability and thermal stability were designed. After storage in the dark, the pigments remained 25.55 ± 0.89–68.62 ± 1.25 % in the DES while they decreased to 0.07 ± 0.00–5.82 ± 0.48 % in the water. The evaluation of the degradation kinetics of anthocyanins revealed that they are more strongly protected and stable in CHGLY than in water. The t_1/2 obtained with the storage in the dark was 91.90 ± 0.07–1238.27 ± 60.03 h for CHGLY and 64.58 ± 0.02–163.79 ± 4.77 h for water. For the light stability test, the t_1/2 value was 283.59 ± 19.58h-589.49 ± 4.97 h for CHGLY and 65.79 ± 0.02h-170.42 ± 5.07 h for water. The thermodynamic properties such as first-order reaction constant k, activation energy (Ea), Gibbs value (∆G ̊), enthalpy (∆H ̊) and entropy (∆S ̊) demonstrated that natural pigments from blackberry fruit are thermally more stable in CHGLY than in a water solution. This work thereby generated important outcomes regarding the ability of DES to stabilize pigments such as anthocyanins.

Soybean is a crucial global oilseed crop and a vital source of plant protein. As one of the world's largest consumers of soybeans, China heavily relies on soybean imports, making increased soybean yields an effective way to address the shortage of soybean resources. As soil salinization becoming increasingly severe, salt stress has become a major factor affecting soybean yield and quality in China. This paper proposes a deep learning framework for identifying salt stress levels in soybean seedlings using RGB images of their leaves. In this framework, a Convolutional Neural Network combined with a Convolutional Block Attention Module is used to extract image features; a dimensionality reduction method is employed to remove redundancy from the extracted features; and a machine learning classifier is used to classify the reduced features. Experimental results demonstrate that this framework can accurately identify salt stress levels from soybean leaf images while overcoming the overfitting problem associated with small datasets. Compared to existing traditional deep learning models, transfer learning models, and other frameworks, the proposed framework offers better classification performance and generalization ability.
