Carrot is an important root vegetable crop abundant in bioactive compounds including carotenoids, vitamins, and dietary fibers. Carrot intake and its products are gradually growing owing to its high antioxidant activity. Auxins are a class of plant hormones that control many processes of plant growth and development. Yet, the effects of exogenous application of auxin on lignin biosynthesis and gene expression profiles of lignin-related genes in carrot taproot are still unclear. In order to investigate the effect of exogenous indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) on lignin-related gene profiles, lignin accumulation, anatomical structures and morphological characteristics in carrot taproots, carrots were treated with different concentrations of IBA (0, 50, 100, and 150 µM). The results showed that IBA application significantly improved the growth parameters of carrot. The 100 or 150 µM IBA treatment increased the number and area of xylem vessels, whereas transcript levels of lignin-related genes were restricted, resulting in a decline in lignin content in carrot taproots. The results indicate that taproot development and lignin accumulation may be influenced by the auxin levels within carrot plants.

Global citrus production has been severely affected by citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) disease, caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Clas), and the development of effective control methods are crucial. This study employed antimicrobial lipopeptide and phytohormone complex powder (L1) prepared from the fermentation broth of the endophytic plant growth promoting bacterium (PGPB) of strain MG-2 to treat Liberibacter asiaticus (Las)-infected ' 'Chun Jian' plants. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and PCR were employed for disease detection.

, a plant of substantial economic significance, continues to face constraints in achieving large-scale propagation. In vitro propagation offers a promising avenue for the production of disease-free plants and the genetic transformation of peonies to instill novel traits. However, significant challenges persist in tissue culture, particularly with regards to the reproduction coefficient of shoots and the rooting process.

Article Synopsis
- There has been a rise in mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) infections among children, linked to changes in their gut microbiome, which affect their respiratory health.
- A study involving 25 children, including those with pneumonia and healthy ones, analyzed stool and serum samples to understand gut bacteria and metabolites like short-chain fatty acids.
- Results showed that children with pneumonia had diverse gut microbes and higher levels of certain metabolites, suggesting these could serve as potential biomarkers for MP infection and highlighting the relationship between gut health and respiratory disease.

Background: Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn has typical stacked umbels and medicinal value; however, the lack of an effective tissue culture system for P. praeruptorum has limited the large-scale propagation of its seedlings.
Results: We systematically established an in vitro regeneration system for P.
