In this study, the interactive effect of plant hormone-salicylic acid and succinic acid on biomass growth, lutein content, and productivity of Desmodesmus sp. F51 were investigated. The results demonstrated that the synergistic action of salicylic acid and succinic acid could effectively enhance the assimilation of nitrate and significantly improve lutein production. The maximal lutein content 7.01 mg/g and productivity 5.11 mg/L/d could be obtained with a supplement of 100 µM salicylic acid and 2.5 mM succinic acid in batch culture. Furthermore, operation strategy of nitrate fed-batch coupled with supplementation for succinic acid and salicylic acid resulted in further enhancement of lutein content and productivity by 7.50 mg/g and 5.78 mg/L/d, respectively. The performance is better than most of the previously reported values.

Postharvest quality deterioration is a major factor affecting the economic value and marketing of Nanfeng tangerines. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of luteolin treatment on the postharvest quality and antioxidant capacity of Nanfeng tangerines. We applied 1 g/L and 3 g/L luteolin to fruit after harvest and evaluated the decay rate, postharvest quality, and antioxidant capacity during a 60-day storage period at room temperature.

Drought stress can adversely affect the seed germination and seedling growth of wheat plants. This study analyzed the effect of drought on seed germination and the morphological parameters of seedlings from ten winter wheat genotypes. The primary focus was to elucidate the effects of two drought intensities on metabolic status in wheat seedlings.

Alkaline salts have more severe adverse effects on plant growth and development than neutral salts do. However, the adaptive mechanisms of plants to alkaline salt stress remain poorly understood, especially at the molecular level. The Songnen Plain in northeast China is composed of typical 'soda' saline-alkali soil, with NaHCO and NaCO as the predominant alkaline salts (pH ≥ 9.

The genus Euphorbia, belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae, represents a significant ethnobotanical heritage due to the diverse bioactive properties exhibited. In this study, the phytochemical composition and biological activities of latex and aerial parts of the water extract of Euphorbia gaillardotii were investigated. Phytochemical analyses were performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography techniques and total antioxidants, phenolics, sugars, organic acids, and aroma components were quantitatively determined.
