This study was aimed at qualitative evaluation of the ethanol seed, leaf and pulp extracts of C. papaya for bioactive compounds and also to investigate their effect on the haematology in male albino rats. A 3 x 4 factorial experimental layout using randomized complete design was adopted. Results show that the phytochemicals found in seed, leaf and pulp were almost the same but however, in varying proportions. Present result also revealed that there were significant effects (p < 0.05) of the extracts on the heamatology of the treated rats, which was blamed on the varying and different variants ofbioactive compounds found in the extracts they were administered with. Suggestively, C. papaya extracts could be used to enhance the production of selected blood parameters, taking issue of dosage into consideration.

Seagrass meadows have been heavily affected by human activities, with Zostera marina L. (Zosteraceae) being one of the most impacted species. Seed-based methods are currently the preferred approach for their restoration, yet low germination rates and poor seedling establishment remain significant challenges.

Rice, being the most important food crop in China, is also the world's largest producer and consumer, accounting for 30% of global production and consumption. In 2023, brown stripes were observed on the leaf sheaths of diseased rice seedlings in a Jingxi rice field (22°51'N, 105°56'E) in Guangxi, China. The investigated area of rice fields, which was about 1.

(ZSS), a medicinal food, is one of the most popular Chinese medicinal herbs, known for its rich bioactive ingredients, such as terpenoids and flavonoids. The content of these bioactive ingredients in ZSS varies with age. However, the distribution of these bioactive ingredients throughout the developmental phases of ZSS-white maturity (S1), firm ripening (S2), and full ripening (S3)-and within specific tissues like the cotyledon, endosperm, and radicle, has not yet been determined.

Unlabelled: The embryo spot trait leads to a deep purple or reddish coloration at the base of the cotyledons of the embryo, visible on both sides of flat potato () seeds. This trait has long been used by potato researchers and breeders as a morphological marker during dihaploid induction. The formation of embryo spots reflects the accumulation of anthocyanins, but the genetic basis of this trait remains unclear.

Background: As a grain and oil crop, soybean presents a much lower yield than other staple crops. However, crop yields can be improved by applying modern agricultural technology, such as diethylaminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6) and mepiquat chloride (MC), which are important plant-growth regulators that substantially affect crop growth and yield.
Methods: This study examined the effects of DA-6 (30, 60, or 90 mg L) and MC (100, 200, or 400 mg L) on soybean growth, development, root structure, photosynthetic physiology, osmotic regulation, and yield via field and pot experiments.
