Key factors for optimization of secondary metabolites production in conventional plant cell tissue and organ culture

Environmental Control and Controlled Elicitation Strategies to Modulate Phytochemical Quality of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in Controlled Environment Agriculture

Medicinal and aromatic plants are important sources of secondary metabolites used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, nutraceutical, and health-related applications. However, the phytochemical and bioactive composition of plant raw materials is often highly variable because it is influenced by genotype, developmental stage, c...

Metabolomics, a step towards understanding environmental stress tolerance of major African cereals

Secondary metabolites isolated from plants are usually complex mixtures consisting of varieties of active ingredients which need to be characterized. Environmental stresses, including but not limited to drought and salinity, cause significant challenges to crop growth and development. These stresses can disrupt various...

Functional characterization of a plant growth-promoting endophytic fungus associated with Vanda tessellata

Findings demonstrate the growth-promoting potential of metabolites produced by isolate KU/BOT/VT004 and suggest that this endophytic fungus is a promising candidate for future bioinoculant development and orchid propagation, pending further validation through fungal inoculation and colonization studies.

Induction Medium to Analyze In Vitro Morphological Changes and Biotrophic Features in Sporidia of Ustilago maydis.

PLANT SIGNALING AND FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITIES OF PLANTS

This study examines the signaling potential of certain plant species, particularly higher plants, as bioindicators of heavy metal (HM) and other toxicant presence in agroecosystems and technogenic soils. The work focuses on the structural-functional and physiological-biochemical characteristics of plants capable of acc...

Environmental Preconditioning Shapes the Expression and Post-Formulation Stability of Plant Growth-Promoting Traits in Native Actinobacteria

The functional expression of plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits in soil actinobacteria is conditioned by abiotic factors, yet the combined effects of pH and temperature on their metabolic profiles and the stability of these profiles after encapsulated formulation and post-processing stress remain insufficiently charac...
