Alteration in certain growth, biochemical, and anatomical indices of grapevine () in response to the foliar application of auxin under water deficit.

Drought-induced stress represents one of the most economically detrimental natural phenomena impacting grapevine (Vitis vinifera ) development, yield, and fruit characteristics. Also, auxin is one of the most important plant growth regulators that can reduce damage caused by stress in plants. In this study, the impact of exogenously sprayed auxin (0, 50, and 200mgL-1 ) on growth, biochemical, and anatomical parameters was investigated in two grapevine varieties (cvs.

Exogenous melatonin delays strawberry fruit ripening by suppressing endogenous ABA signaling.

Ripening as a physico-chemical change is part of a continuous developmental process and hormones play a major role in this processes. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of external melatonin (0 and 10 μM) injection at the light green stage on the ripening of strawberry fruit. The fruit was sampled for morphological, biochemical, and gene expression analysis during (0, 5, 10, and 15 days after treatment).

Meta-analysis of transcriptomic responses to cold stress in plants.

Transcriptomic analyses are needful tools to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to abiotic stresses. The aim of this study was to identify key genes differentially regulated in response to chilling stress in various plant species with different levels of tolerance to low temperatures. A meta-analysis was performed using the RNA-Seq data of published studies whose experimental conditions were comparable.

Triterpenic and phenolic acids production changed in Salvia officinalis via in vitro and in vivo polyploidization: A consequence of altered genes expression.

The induction of polyploidy is an efficient technique for creating a diversity of genetic, phenotypic, and phytochemical novelties in plant taxa. Sage (Salvia officinalis L.) is a well-known medicinal plant rich of valuable bioactive molecules such as triterpenic and phenolic acids.

Phenolics diversity among wild populations of : as a precious source for antimicrobial and antioxidant applications.

The genus L. belongs to the Lamiaceae family including several known species rich in natural compounds that are extensively used in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. populations contain a broad diversity of flavonoids and phenolic acids.
