Cuticular waxes of plant and organ surfaces play an important role in protecting plants from biotic and abiotic stress and extending the freshness, storage time and shelf life in the post-harvest agricultural products. WRI1, a transcription factor of AP2/SHEN families, had been found to trigger the related genes taking part in the biosynthesis of seed oil in many plants. But whether WRI1 is involved in the biosynthesis of the cuticular waxes on the Malus fruits surface has been unclear.

- - The study explores how apple fruit fermentation (AFF) and Bacillus licheniformis affect strawberry tissue culture seedlings, particularly their growth and rhizosphere microorganisms.
- - Analysis revealed that the combination of AFF with Bacillus licheniformis resulted in better growth metrics such as larger leaf area and increased root length compared to other treatments.
- - The research concludes that using both AFF and Bacillus licheniformis together boosts antioxidant enzyme activities and enhances the microbial diversity in the rhizosphere, ultimately promoting plant growth.
By using community structural characteristic indices and principal component analysis, this paper studied the community structure and its dynamics of predatory arthropod in the jujube orchards intercropped with Astrugalus complanatus, Trifolium repen, Lotus comiculotus, and Medicago sativa. The results showed that in all test jujube orchards, spider and predatory insects were the predominant components of the predatory arthropod community, and their relative abundances were 48.3% - 52.
