As a multifunctional lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus plantarum has been proved to survive in the human gastrointestinal tract, and it can also colonize this tract. In this study, the effects of L. plantarum ATCC 14917 metabolic profile caused by initial acid-base (pH 5.5 and 8.5) stress were investigated using H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis. The results showed that the metabolome mainly consisted of 14 metabolites, including the components like amino acids, sugars, organic acids, and alkaloids. According to the nontargeted principal component analysis, there was a decrease in most of the metabolites in the alkali-treated group (mainly change in PC1) except acetate, whereas the production of lactate and glycine was increased in the acid-treated group (mainly change in PC2). Furthermore, the initial alkali stress inhibits the secretion of lactic acid, as a decrease was observed in the activity of lactate dehydrogenase and acetic dehydrogenase of L. plantarum ATCC 14917 in the alkali group. All these findings revealed that alkali stress could limit the acid environment formation of L. plantarum 14917 in the fermentation process; however, low acid pH is more suitable for the growth of L. plantarum.

Soybean () is a vital crop that is rich in high-quality protein and edible oil for human nutrition and agriculture. Saline-alkali stress, a severe environmental challenge, significantly limits soybean productivity. In this study, we found that the nodule receptor kinase GmNARK enhances soybean tolerance to alkali stress besides nodulation.

The viability of using fibers as reinforcement material for developing lightweight sustainable non-structural construction materials in compliance with the valorization of local by-products has been investigated in this work. This study aims to investigate the effect of the chemical treatment of fibers on the mechanical and hygric properties of bio-sourced clay-sand- fiber composite. This lightweight specimen has been produced from a mixture of 60% natural clay and 40% sand by mass, as a matrix, and reinforced with different amounts of Juncus fibers.

Under NaHCO stress, exogenous 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) markedly alleviated Na accumulation in cucumber plants, thereby decreasing the Na/K, Na/Mg, and Na/Ca ratios. This mitigation was accompanied by elevated concentrations of K, Ca, and Mg, as well as enhanced expression of the and genes. In addition, the activities of plasma membrane H-ATPase, vesicular membrane H-ATPase, and vesicular membrane H-PPase were significantly increased, contributing to the maintenance of ionic balance in cucumber plants.

This study investigates the negative impact of climate change on water resources, specifically water for agricultural irrigation. It describes how to optimize swelling, gel properties and long-term water retention capacities of Na-CMC/PAAm hydrogels for managing drought stress of Sugar beet plants through techniques such as changing the composition, synthetic conditions and chemical modification. Gamma radiation-induced free radical copolymerization was used to synthesize superabsorbent hydrogels using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) and acrylamide (AAm).
