The droplet-vitrification method was applied to shoot tips of micropropagated strawberry plants (Fragaria x ananassa DUCH. cvs. 'Senga Sengana', 'Korona' and 'Aroma'). Shoot tips of 2 - 3 mm in length were precultured in sucrose (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 M) enriched media for 24 and 48 h. Subsequently, they were transferred into 6 microl droplets of PVS2 vitrification solution for 20 min and plunged into liquid nitrogen. Rapid rewarming was done in liquid medium at room temperature. The highest recovery rate in all cultivars (60 percent) was achieved after a preculture with 0.25 M sucrose for 24 h. From the recovered shoot tips not all continued with shoot development and multiplication. The number of off-types observed in the field was affected by the sucrose concentration. After preculture in 0.1 M sucrose no off-types were observed, while after preculture in high sucrose concentrations the number of off-types was much higher reaching 20 percent at the highest sucrose concentration.

This study seeks to improve the biomass extractability of Sorghum bicolor by targeting a critical enzyme, 4CL, through metabolic engineering of the lignin biosynthetic pathway at the post-transcriptional level. Sorghum bicolor L., a significant forage crop, offers a potential source of carbohydrate components for biofuel production.

Moderate mowing of the shoot is an effective strategy for improving Pb-contaminated soil remediation using bermudagrass. However, the mechanisms by which mowing facilitates Pb uptake and accumulation remain insufficiently understood. Root radial transport is critical in efficient heavy metal uptake and translocation in plants and is influenced by root physiological-biochemical characteristics.

Introduction: Drought stress severely hampers seedling growth and root architecture, resulting in yield penalties. Seed priming is a promising approach to tolerate drought stress for stand establishment and root development.
Methods: Here, various seed priming treatments, .

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs), which are activated by transient changes in the Ca concentration in plants, are important for various biological processes, such as growth, development, defense against biotic and abiotic stresses, and others. Mannitol is commonly used as an osmotic regulatory substance in culture medium or nutrient solutions to create water-deficit conditions. Here, we cloned the potato ( L.
