The high number of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars grown world-wide are described and identified according to detailed morphological and morphometric descriptor lists. The grapevine leaf is of utmost importance in characterization, despite its traits being very sensitive to environmental factors. In this study, the effect of irrigation/drought stress on the individual leaf morphology and morphometry of the ‘Hárslevelű’ grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivar was examined. To verify the effect of the applied irrigation methods (drip and subsoil irrigation) on the plant’s water status, water potential measurements were carried out during the 2022 season. The effect of the applied treatments on the vegetative growth was evaluated according to point quadrat and a multichannel LiDAR analysis in order to describe the width of the canopy area, row volume, and area coverage index. The individual leaf morphology was assessed via traditional morphometry and colorimetry. Our results showed that rainfed plants had a significantly lower stem ψ compared to the drip- and subsoil-irrigated plants at all examined dates. The point quadrat results indicate that the leaf layer number was significantly (p < 0.05) influenced by the position, while the treatment showed no effect on the leaf layer number. The leaf colorimetry showed a difference among the samples, as significant alterations were found in 28 out of the 32 examined color properties. Within the traditional morphometric analysis, 54 traits were evaluated, and 14 of the traits were significantly altered due to the different water management systems.

The high biological activity of cultivated and wild purslane offers broad possibilities for utilizing this plant in medicine and human nutrition. To assess the prospects of obtaining new functional food products based on the wild form of P. oleracea L., foliar biofortification of this species with sodium selenate (VI) was carried out, and the changes in leaf and seed biochemical characteristics were investigated. Selenium significantly enhanced plant yield, photosynthetic pigments and the ascorbic acid content, and showed a tendency to seed productivity increase. The application of selenium augmented quinic acid content in leaves by 1.7 times but did not affect the oxalic acid content. Oxalic acid prevailed in wild purslane and quinic acid in cultivated purslane (cv. Makovey). Seed oil in Se-enriched purslane was characterized by a two-fold decrease in saturated fatty acids and squalene and 2.3-fold decrease in malonic dialdehyde content, along with a 1.4-fold increase in ascorbic acid. Selenium supplementation resulted in an increase in total lipids and mono- and di-unsaturated fatty acids and did not affect the concentration of ω-3 fatty acids and sterol accumulation. Among the identified sterols, only the minor ones (fucosterol, 7-stigmasterol and ∆7-avenosterol) showed a slight decrease upon Se supply. Compared to seeds of cv. Makovey, wild purslane seeds had higher levels of antioxidant activity by a factor of 2 and of polyphenols by a factor of 3.2 but did not differ significantly in oil fatty acid composition. The results indicate the importance of wild purslane leaves/seeds both fortified and not fortified with Se in human nutrition and medicine.

This study evaluated the effect of salicylic acid (SA) application on yield, fruit quality, and post-harvest storage in Prunus avium subjected to deficit irrigation (DI). A field experiment with six-year-old P. avium cv. Lapins was performed under two water treatments: irrigation at 100% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc) [full irrigation (FI)] and irrigation at 60% ETc from the second fruit phase to harvest time (DI). A single 0.5 mM SA was applied to both water treatments at fruit color change. At harvest time, fruits were collected to determine yield, fruit quality, and quality during post-harvest storage (0, 10, 20, and 30 days). The DI reduced fruit yield (11%), fruit weight (8%), and caliber (6%) and increased firmness (7%) and total soluble solids (TSS) (5%) in P. avium compared with FI plants at harvest time. Our study showed that SA application recovered fruit yield (9%), fruit weight (5%), and caliber (4%), improving TSS in DI plants at day 0. Interestingly, SA application significantly reduced P. avium fruit cracking (78% in FI and 82% in DI). Fruit weight was reduced in all treatments, mainly decreasing by 14% in FI and 13% in DI plants at day 30 of post-harvest storage. Fruit weight did not change during post-harvest storage with SA, except on day 30, where a slight reduction was observed. TSS showed no significant differences during post-harvest storage for all treatments. Therefore, SA could be an interesting tool to mitigate the impact of DI on the yield and fruit quality of P. avium and to reduce fruit cracking and prolong fruit quality during post-harvest storage.
本研究评估了施用水杨酸(SA)对亏缺灌溉(DI)条件下的杨梅产量、果实质量和采后贮藏的影响。对 6 年树龄的 Lapins 栽培品种进行了田间试验,试验采用了两种水处理方法:100% 的作物蒸散量(ETc)灌溉[全灌溉(FI)]和从第二果实期到采收期 60% 的 ETc 灌溉(DI)。在果实转色时,两种水处理均施用一次 0.5 毫摩尔的 SA。采收时,收集果实以确定产量、果实质量和采后贮藏(0、10、20 和 30 天)期间的质量。与 FI 植物相比,DI 在收获时降低了 P. avium 的果实产量(11%)、果实重量(8%)和口径(6%),提高了坚硬度(7%)和总可溶性固形物(TSS)(5%)。我们的研究表明,施用南美蔗糖能恢复 DI 植株第 0 天的果实产量(9%)、果实重量(5%)和口径(4%),并提高总可溶性固形物(TSS)。所有处理的果实重量都有所下降,在采后贮藏的第 30 天,FI 和 DI 植株的果实重量分别下降了 14% 和 13%。使用 SA 的采后贮藏期间,果实重量没有变化,只有第 30 天略有下降。在采后贮藏期间,所有处理的 TSS 均无明显差异。因此,在采后贮藏期间,SA 可以作为一种有趣的工具来减轻 DI 对 P. avium 产量和果实质量的影响,并减少果实开裂和延长果实质量。

Landraces are considered a crucial component of biodiversity conservation, serving as a reservoir of genetic diversity. Consequently, the collection, cultivation, and detailed characterization of such landraces constitute an inherent aspect of the world’s natural resource heritage. This effort holds promise for the development of elite varieties capable of thriving amidst continuous global climate fluctuations. In this context, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of the main agronomic attributes, physico-chemical properties, and functional quality traits of the major hot pepper landraces adapted to diverse climatic conditions in Tunisia. These landraces include ‘Dhirat’, ‘Semmane’, ‘Beldi’, ‘Nabeul’, ‘Jerid’, ‘Mahdia’, ‘Cayenne’, ‘Kairouan’, and ‘Baklouti’. Most of the pepper landraces exhibited satisfactory yields, ranging from 1163.25 to 1841.67 g plant−1 in ‘Jerid’ and ‘Kairouan’, respectively, indicating robust productivity, especially under prevailing climatic changes and high temperatures during both growing cycles. The levels of antioxidants comprising capsaicinoids, carotenoids, phenolics, and tocopherols, as well as radical scavenging activity, emerged as key discriminating factors among pungent pepper landraces. Irrespective of genotype, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin constituted the major capsaicinoids, accounting for 44–91% of the total capsaicinoids content. Total capsaicinoids ranged from 1.81 µg g−1 fw to 193.71 µg g−1 fw, with ‘Baklouti’ and ‘Jerid’ identified as the most pungent landraces. Total carotenoids ranged from 45.94 µg g−1 fw to 174.52 µg g−1 fw, with ‘Semmane’ and ‘Jerid’ exhibiting the highest levels. Considerable variation was observed in β-carotene content, spanning from 3% to 24% of the total carotenoids. α-Tocopherol content ranged from 19.03 µg g−1 fw in ‘Kairouan’ to 30.93 µg g−1 fw in ‘Beldi’, exerting a notable influence on the overall tocopherol content. Conversely, the β- and γ-tocopherol isomers were detected at very low concentrations. The total vitamin C content ranged from 132 mg 100g−1 fw in ‘Mahdia’ to 200 mg 100 g−1 fw in ‘Nabeul’, indicating relatively low genetic variability. However, large variability was detected in total phenolics content, ranging from 168.58 mg GAE kg−1 fw in ‘Beldi’ to 302.98 mg GAE kg−1 fw in ‘Cayenne’. Landraces such as ‘Dhirat’, ‘Nabeul’, ‘Semmane’, ‘Kairouan’, ‘Cayenne’, and ‘Mahdia’ appear suitable for both fresh consumption and processing, owing to their favorable average fruit weight, soluble solids content, and bioactive content. Among the pepper landraces tested, ‘Cayenne’ achieved the highest value of radical scavenging activity in both hydrophilic and lipophilic fractions (RSAHF and RSALF), with variations ranging from 59% to 120% for RSAHF and from 4% to 63% for RSALF. This study aims to preserve and enhance the value of local genetic resources and contribute to identify desirable traits for incorporation into breeding programs to develop high-quality, high-yield

Flourensia cernua and Jatropha dioica are non-timber forest species that grow in the desert regions of northern Mexico. Currently, they are recognized as a viable alternative to traditional remedies used to address certain ailments. However, the low yields of bioactive compounds obtained propitiate the use of more effective extraction techniques such as ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) in combination with statistical models such as Taguchi to maximize the yields of bioactive compounds. The objective of the research was to determine the optimal conditions for maximizing the yields of purified polyphenolic compounds from F. cernua and J. dioica using the Taguchi statistical model. In addition, we evaluated the total flavonoid content, antioxidant activity (ABTS•+, FRAP, and OH• hydroxyl radical inhibition), and the in vitro evaluation of α-amylase inhibition and ex vivo hemolysis inhibition. Furthermore, a functional group analysis was conducted using FTIR. The optimization process revealed that the maximum yields of bioactive compounds for F. cernua and J. dioica were achieved with a particle size of 0.25 mm and 0.30 mm, temperatures of 60 °C for both, a water–ethanol concentration of 50% for both, and extraction times of 30 min and 5 min, respectively. The matrix bioactive compounds obtained contain flavonoid-type phenolic compounds, which exhibit properties such as inhibiting free radicals and acting as reducing agents; inhibiting α-amylase activity, which is involved in carbohydrate metabolism; and protecting red blood cells from damage by reactive oxygen species. Finally, the FTIR analysis allowed for the identification of functional groups associated with the polyphenolic compounds (O–H, C–H, C–C, C=O). These results suggest that both non-timber forest species are a rich source of bioactive compounds with potential for application in the agri-food and pharmaceutical industries However, it is necessary to carry out compound identification as well as toxicity analyses to guarantee the safety of these bioactive compounds.

The sclerotia of Wolfiporia hoelen (Fr.) Y.C. Dai & V. Papp is an important traditional Chinese medicine with diverse pharmacological properties. This study utilized a combination of PacBio Long-Read Sequencing, Illumina Short-Read Sequencing, and Hi-C Sequencing to generate a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of a W. hoelen strain Minling A5. There were 112 contigs in the genome, with 62.95 Mb in total length and 4.21 Mb in length for the contig N50. The average GC content was 51.89%. Based on Hi-C data, we corrected the CCS data and scaffolded them into 14 pseudo-chromosomes. The genome contained 44.37% repetitive sequences and 12,670 protein-coding genes, 86.53% (10,963) of which could be functionally annotated in at least one of the KOG, GO, Pfam, Swissprot, TrEMBL, NR, and KEGG databases. In addition, 240 transfer RNAs, 97 ribosomal RNAs, and 103 other non-coding RNAs were identified in the W. hoelen genome. A total of 755 pseudogenes were also identified, with an average length of 2665.51 bp. Further, there were 398, 100, 2837, 519, and 2068 genes annotated by CAZymes, TCDB, PHI, P450, and DFVF databases, respectively. One notable attribute of W. hoelen is its capacity to thrive in a substrate of fresh pine sawdust. Through an analysis of the growth on various pure wood sawdust culture media, we found that the growth of W. hoelen and Sparassis latifolia on pine sawdust was similar to that on broad-leaved wood sawdust, while the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus, P. eryngii, and Cyclocybe aegerita was slower than that on broad-leaved wood sawdust. By the functional annotation analysis of orthogroups in these five mushroom-forming fungi, it was determined that 645 orthogroups were specifically common in W. hoelen and S. latifolia. The genes in these specific orthogroups were significantly enriched in 12 pathways, including steroid biosynthesis, biosynthesis of antibiotics, and tyrosine metabolism. The high-quality genome and comparative genome analysis results significantly contribute to advancing our foundational knowledge of W. hoelen biology, while also offering valuable insights for the development of innovative biotechnological approaches aimed at enhancing the efficient and sustainable utilization of Pinus.

Ploidy identification is a basic method for determining germplasm resources and for breeding new varieties of oil-seed camellia. In this study, flow cytometry and K-mer analysis were used to identify the ploidy of oil-seed camellia germplasms. To determine the best tissue organ type, lysis time, and dyeing time, evaluation indices such as the presence of a clear main peak, the ease of sampling, and the coefficient of variation were used. A technique was established, and the ploidies of different oil-seed camellia germplasms were identified. The results showed that pollen was the best material and that using a 400 mL PI lysis solution for 10 min lysis, followed by dyeing with a 1600 mL DAPI dyeing solution for 10 min, was the most suitable technique. According to the peak value of the control diploid Camellia azalea, 15 samples were estimated to be diploid, 24 samples were tetraploid, 18 samples were hexaploid, and 13 samples were octoploid. In addition, the K-mer analysis results showed that among the five samples, CK, C051, and C047 were diploid, while C037 and C043 were tetraploid, results that are consistent with the results of the flow cytometry identification. This study is therefore valuable for the polyploid selection and use of different ploidy germplasm resources for the cross breeding of oil-seed camellia.
倍性鉴定是确定油茶种质资源和培育新品种的基本方法。本研究采用流式细胞仪和 K-mer分析来鉴定油茶种质的倍性。为确定最佳组织器官类型、裂解时间和染色时间,采用了主峰是否清晰、取样难易程度和变异系数等评价指标。建立了一种技术,并确定了不同油茶种质的倍性。结果表明,花粉是最佳材料,使用 400 mL PI 溶液裂解 10 分钟,然后用 1600 mL DAPI 染色液染色 10 分钟是最合适的技术。根据对照二倍体山茶杜鹃的峰值,推测 15 个样品为二倍体,24 个样品为四倍体,18 个样品为六倍体,13 个样品为八倍体。此外,K-聚合体分析结果显示,5 个样品中,CK、C051 和 C047 为二倍体,C037 和 C043 为四倍体,这些结果与流式细胞仪鉴定结果一致。因此,这项研究对于油茶多倍体选育和利用不同倍性的种质资源进行油茶杂交育种具有重要价值。

Sewage sludge can be used as an organic amendment as long as it is ensured that there is no risk of environmental contamination or risk to public health. In this study, sewage sludge from two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) subjected to two disinfection and stabilization treatments [40% (mass/mass), calcium oxide, and calcium hydroxide] and their respective untreated sewage sludge were used. Three control treatments were also added: conventional farmyard manure (FYM), a nitrogen (N) mineral fertilizer (ammonium nitrate 34.5% N) applied at a rate of 50 kg N ha−1 (N50) (the same rate of all organic amendments), and an unfertilized control (N0), totaling nine treatments. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) was cultivated in pots for two growing cycles. The dry matter yield (DMY) was higher in the N50 treatment (13.5 and 10.6 g plant−1 in the first and second growing cycles, respectively), followed by sewage sludge (10.8 to 12.4 and 8.4 to 8.7 g plant−1), FYM (8.5 and 7.2 g plant−1), and the control (7.7 and 6.0 g plant−1). The DMY was related to the N provided by the different treatments, assessed by the N and nitrate concentrations in tissues, N uptake, and apparent N recovery (ANR). Sewage sludge, due to its high N concentration and low carbon (C)/N ratio, mineralized rapidly, providing a significant amount of N to plants, as well as other nutrients, such as phosphorus (P) and boron (B). FYM, with a higher C/N ratio, provided less N to plants, also due to the short duration of the lettuce growing cycle. Alkalized sewage sludge increased soil pH and calcium (Ca) availability for plants. Fertilizer treatments minimally influenced cationic micronutrients. Heavy metals in the initial sewage sludge were below the threshold values established in international legislation, and the levels in soil and lettuce tissues were generally not higher than those in other treatments. Both of the sewage sludges used in this study showed high fertilizing value and very reactive behavior, making nutrients available much more quickly than FYM. This information is relevant to consider in defining their agricultural use.
只要确保不会造成环境污染或危害公众健康,污水污泥就可以用作有机添加剂。在这项研究中,使用了来自两家污水处理厂的经过两种消毒和稳定化处理[40%(质量/质量)、氧化钙和氢氧化钙]的污水污泥及其各自未经处理的污水污泥。此外,还添加了三种对照处理:常规农家肥(FYM)、氮(N)矿物肥料(硝酸铵,氮含量为 34.5%),施肥量为 50 千克/公顷(N50)(与所有有机添加剂的施肥量相同),以及未施肥对照(N0),共计九种处理。生菜(Lactuca sativa L.)在花盆中栽培了两个生长周期。N50 处理的干物质产量(DMY)较高(第一和第二个生长周期分别为 13.5 和 10.6 g plant-1),其次是污水污泥(10.8 至 12.4 和 8.4 至 8.7 g plant-1)、生石灰(8.5 和 7.2 g plant-1)以及对照(7.7 和 6.0 g plant-1)。DMY 与不同处理提供的氮有关,通过组织中的氮和硝酸盐浓度、氮吸收量和表观氮回收率(ANR)进行评估。污水污泥的氮浓度高,碳(C)/氮比率低,因此矿化速度快,为植物提供了大量的氮以及磷(P)和硼(B)等其他养分。C/N比值较高的堆肥为植物提供的氮较少,这也是由于莴苣的生长周期较短。碱化的污水污泥提高了土壤的 pH 值和植物对钙(Ca)的利用率。肥料处理对阳离子微量营养元素的影响很小。初始污水污泥中的重金属含量低于国际法规规定的阈值,土壤和莴苣组织中的重金属含量一般不高于其他处理方法。本研究中使用的两种污水污泥都具有很高的肥料价值和很强的反应性,使养分的利用速度远高于 FYM。在确定它们的农业用途时,需要考虑这些信息。

Climate change is currently the greatest threat to the environment as we know it today. The present study aimed to highlight the changes in the main climatic elements during the last five decades (1971–2020) in northeastern Romania (Copou-Iaşi wine-growing center) and their impact on grape quality, as part of precision viticulture strategies and efficient management of grapevine plantations. Data analysis revealed a constant and significant increase in the average air temperature in the last 50 years (+1.70 °C), more pronounced in the last 10 years (+0.61 °C), with a number of days with extreme temperatures (>30 °C) of over 3.5-fold higher, in parallel with a fluctuating precipitation regime. The increase in average temperatures in the last 40 years was highly correlated with the advancement of the grape harvest date (up to 12 days), a significant increase in Vitis vinifera L. white grape sugar concentration (+15–25 g/L), and a drastic decrease in total acidity (−2.0–3.5 g/L tartaric acid). The significant increase in the values of the bioclimatic indices require the reclassification of the wine-growing area in higher classes of favorability, raising the opportunity to grow cultivars that are more suited to warmer climates, ensuring the efficiency of the plantation, and meeting current consumer expectations.
