We determined whether nine common herbs (basil, chili, cilantro, dill, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, oregano, and parsley) and one herb mixture (Italian Herbs) retain the antioxidant capacity (AC) and content of phenolics and characteristic marker compounds during processing to dry and paste forms. Oregano exhibited the highest AC among the herbs tested in dry and fresh forms. Compared with fresh herbs, the AC in dry form was decreased in garlic, chili, dill, oregano and parsley and paste form of oregano and basil. With the exception of dried garlic and lemongrass in fresh and paste form, all herbs in dry, paste, and fresh form contained significant AC. The AC was correlated significantly to the total phenolic content in both dry and fresh form. However, there was no significant correlation between the AC and the concentration of chemical marker compounds. In summary, processed herbs contribute significant amounts of AC to the diet.

Aldose reductase (ALR) is closely related to the plant's response to abiotic stresses. Previous transcriptome data from the salt-tolerant Tritipyrum Y1805 indicated that an ALR-related gene was highly upregulated under salt stress. The gene, TtALR1, was successfully cloned from Y1805, with a coding sequence length of 960 bp.

Introduction: Native endophytic microorganisms in tobacco seeds are closely related to their resistance to () infections. However, the role of the native seed core microbiome in the suppression of bacterial wilt disease (BWD) remains underexplored.
Methods: The characteristics of endophytic bacterial communities in both resistant and susceptible tobacco varieties were characterized using high-throughput sequencing technology.

Cotton is essential for the global textile industry however, climate change, especially extreme temperatures, threatens sustainable cotton production. This research aims to identify breeding strategies to improve heat tolerance and utilize stress-resistant traits in cotton cultivars. This study investigated heat tolerance for 50 cotton genotypes at the seedling stage by examining various traits at three temperatures (32 °C, 45 °C and 48 °C) in a randomized plot experiment.
