Bell pepper plants are sensitive to environmental changes and are significantly affected by abiotic factors such as UV-B radiation and cold, which reduce their yield and production. Various approaches, including omics data integration, have been employed to understand the mechanisms by which this crop copes with abiotic stress. This study aimed to find metabolic changes in bell pepper stems caused by UV-B radiation and cold by integrating omic data.

It is vital for plants to have a sufficient supply of Pi since it participates in important processes like photosynthesis, energy transfer, and protein activation, among others.

Currently, the genomic data for this free-living amoeba include the description of several complete mitochondrial genomes. In contrast, two complete genomes with draft quality are available in GenBank, but none of these have a functional annotation.

Huanglongbing (HLB) is one of the most destructive diseases threatening citriculture worldwide. This disease has been associated with α-proteobacteria species, namely Liberibacter. Due to the unculturable nature of the causal agent, it has been difficult to mitigate the disease, and nowadays a cure is not available.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) carry out numerous mechanisms that enhance growth in seedlings, such as nutrient solubilization, phytohormone production, biocontrol activity, and regulation of induced systemic resistance (ISR) and acquired systemic resistance (ASR). Bacillus paralicheniformis TRQ65 is a biological and plant growth-promoting bacterium isolated from wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp.
