A GC-MS-Selected Ion Monitoring (SIM) detection method was developed for simultaneous determination of four monoterpenes: (-)-menthone, (+)-pulegone, (-)-limonene and (+)-menthofuran as the main bio-active and toxic constituents, and four other main compounds in the volatile oils of Schizonepeta tenuifolia (ST) leaves and spikes at different harvesting times. The results showed that the method was simple, sensitive and reproducible, and that harvesting time was a possible key factor in influencing the quality of ST leaves, but not its spikes. The research might be helpful for determining the harvesting time of ST samples and establishing a validated method for the quality control of ST volatile oil and other relative products.

Introduction: Dry-hot wind during the grain filling period is a prevalent agrometeorological challenge worldwide, causing significant functional leaf senescence, disrupting the grain filling process, and ultimately leading to wheat yield loss. Although studies have explored the alleviating effects of EBR under abiotic stress, its application in wheat and the potential mechanisms underlying its role in mitigating dry-hot wind still require further investigation.
Methods: Using the dry-hot-wind-sensitive cultivar Jinan 17 (JN17) and the dry-hot-wind-resistant cultivar Liangxing 77 (LX77) as experimental materials.

Gibberellic acid (GA) is commercially applied to stimulate the growth and productivity of various agricultural crops. However, its impact on the yield and chemical properties of wheat under weed stress is still unclear. In this investigation, the influence of weed control (sulfosulfuron (sulfo-s), florasulam 7.

Achieving food security stands as a primary challenge confronting global societies today. This necessitates the development of effective strategies to increase crop productivity and enhance their specifications, aiming to meet the growing market demands sustainably and efficiently. This research was conducted over two agricultural seasons and emphasizes the ability of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to promote the growth and productivity of durum wheat (variety Sham 7) cultivated under the conservative conditions of Deir ez-Zor.

Betalains are water-soluble pigments mainly distributed in the core Caryophyllales plants. Betalains provide plant with striking colors to attract pollinators and are beneficial to human health due to the strong antioxidant activity. To date, many studies regarding to betalain biosynthesis have been exerted in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) and four-O-clock (Mirabilis jalapa), however, the key regulators in betalain pigmentation of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) remain to be elucidated.
