Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) combined with freeze substitution was employed to examine the ultrastructure of cells of gentian shoot tips cooled to the ultra-low temperature of slush nitrogen and liquid nitrogen. When shoot tips were cooled in ultra-low temperature without plant vitrification solution 2 (PVS2) treatment, massive ice formation was observed throughout the cells, indicating that severe injury occurred during cooling. In contrast, when shoot tips were treated with PVS2 and subsequently cooled to ultra- low temperatures, no ice crystals were observed in the cells. In addition, the cells of PVS2-treated shoot tips exhibited considerable plasmolysis and formation of small vesicles in cytoplasm. These results clearly demonstrate that the PVS2 treatment is essential for preventing damage caused by ice formation and for successful cryopreservation of plant shoot tips.

Moderate mowing of the shoot is an effective strategy for improving Pb-contaminated soil remediation using bermudagrass. However, the mechanisms by which mowing facilitates Pb uptake and accumulation remain insufficiently understood. Root radial transport is critical in efficient heavy metal uptake and translocation in plants and is influenced by root physiological-biochemical characteristics.

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs), which are activated by transient changes in the Ca concentration in plants, are important for various biological processes, such as growth, development, defense against biotic and abiotic stresses, and others. Mannitol is commonly used as an osmotic regulatory substance in culture medium or nutrient solutions to create water-deficit conditions. Here, we cloned the potato ( L.

The gradual unfurling of fronds from tightly coiled tips, termed fiddleheads or croziers, is one of the most recognizable features of the fern lineage, but its evolutionary origin remains unclear. Here, we identify that fiddleheads and their development, termed circinate vernation, are not ubiquitous across ferns. Instead, they are a synapomorphy of a clade we term the circinatophytes that includes extant marattioid and leptosporangiate ferns.
