ALTERED MERISTEM PROGRAM 1 (AMP1) encodes a putative glutamate-carboxypeptidase important for plant growth and development. In this study, by comparing the growth of Arabidopsis wild-type, amp1-10 and amp1-13 mutants, and AMP1-GFP/OX2- and AMP1-GFP/OX7-overexpressing seedlings in vitro and in soil, we uncover the role of AMP1 in biomass accumulation in Arabidopsis. AMP1-overexpressing plants had longer primary roots and increased lateral root number and density than the WT, which correlated with improved root, shoot, and total biomass accumulation. AMP1-overexpressing seedlings had an enhanced rate of growth of primary roots, and accordingly, sucrose supplementation restored primary root growth and promoted lateral root formation in amp1 mutants, while reproductive development, fruit size, and seed content were also modified according to disruption or overexpression of AMP1. We further found that AMP1 plays an important role for stomatal development, guard cell functioning, and carbon assimilation. These data help explain the pleiotropic functions of AMP1 in both root and shoot system development, possibly acting in a sugar-dependent manner for regulation of root architecture, biomass accumulation, and seed production.

Exogenous MnSO Improves Productivity of Degenerated by Regulating Antioxidant Activity.

Manganese is one of the trace elements necessary for organisms to maintain normal biological activities and is also a cofactor for manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and manganese peroxidase (MnP). In order to find a simple and effective method to rejuvenate the degenerated strains, we explored the effect of the exogenous addition of MnSO on the antioxidant vigour and productivity of degenerated strains of . The results showed that the exogenous MnSO had no significant effect on the non-degenerated strain T0, but it could effectively increase the mycelial growth rate, mycelial biomass, and LBL decolouring ability of the degenerated strains T10 and T19, and reduce the production cycle and increased the biological efficiency of T10; it helped the severely degenerated T19 to regrow its fruiting body; and it also significantly increased the viability of the matrix-degrading enzymes such as EG, Lac, Xyl, etc.

Both rhizospheric soil microbes and shoot litter input can have profound effects on plant performance; however, their interactive effects on plants in Cd-contaminated soils remain poorly understood. We grew an invasive hyperaccumulator, , in sterilized and unsterilized rhizosphere soil without litter or with a low (0.2%, dry weight ratio) or a high amount (1%) of litter from in soil with low (5 mg kg) or high (10 mg kg) concentrations of Cd.

Cadmium (Cd) is a genotoxic heavy metal causing severe toxicity symptoms in plants, which has been a major threat to worldwide crop production. Recently, nanoparticles (NPs) have been employed as a novel strategy to facilitate the Cd stress and act as nano-fertilizers directly. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs; 15 mg/L) on plant growth, photosynthetic activity, antioxidant activity and root morphology in Capsicum chinense Jacq.

Given the fluctuating availability of natural lighting throughout the year, supplemental light is frequently employed to maintain the optimal daily light integral (DLI) levels necessary for adequate plant growth. However, the use of supplemental light translates into higher operational costs. Recent reports suggest that plants can tolerate a day with low DLI following exposure to a day with high DLI from natural light.
