The magnetic layered double hydroxide-based materials (MLDHs) with the metal composition of Mg(II)Al(III) were synthesized by different conditions as the adsorbent for removal of a phytohormone, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). The morphological characteristics of MLDHs were studied through various characterization methods such as XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR, BET, Zeta-potential and VSM. The adsorption results showed that the adsorption capacity of MLDH-1 synthesized by co-precipitation method with ammonia as the base source was the best (maximum 522.6 mg/g). The extent of adsorption in the pH range of 3.0-9.0 was observed to be no noticeable change. From the economical point of view, 1.0 g/L MLDH-1 composites were selected as optimum parameter. For a given adsorbent concentration (C), its kinetics and adsorption isotherm followed the pseudo-second-order and Liu isotherm model, respectively. The adsorbed sample can be easily magnetically separated and regenerated with NaNO. The adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic, including two path stages: surface adsorption of lamellar and interlayer anion exchange. The research makes a contribution to evaluating the ability of MLDHs in IBA removal and helping the public to understand the mechanism of adsorption process.

Medicinal hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is gaining popularity due to its natural products with potential therapeutic properties, and its cultivation has recently been initiated in developing countries such as Turkey, Iran, India, and Pakistan. The crop is primarily grown using feminized seeds or popular varieties to achieve higher cannabidiol (CBD) yields, with seeds costing approximately $5-10 each.

Producing homogeneous planting material in oil palm poses a significant challenge, which can be addressed through somatic embryogenesis. This study successfully achieved somatic embryogenesis using immature male inflorescence from Tenera hybrid. Modified Eeuwens medium yielded better results than the Murashige and Skoog (MS) and CHU (N6) media when supplemented with 2,4-D, picloram and α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA).

Background: Salinity stress is a significant challenge in agriculture, particularly in regions where soil salinity is increasing due to factors such as irrigation practices and climate change. This stress adversely affects plant growth, development, and yield, posing a threat to the cultivation of economically important plants like . This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness by proactively applying indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) to cuttings as a practical and efficient method for mitigating the adverse effects of salinity stress.
