This study investigated the effects of exogenous salicylic acid (SA) treatment (0, control; 3 mmol L) on the antioxidant and hormone levels of winter jujube during shelf life (20 d) at 4 °C. The results showed that 3 mmol L SA treatment preferably maintained firmness, color, titratable acidity, and total soluble solids, and effectively reduced the respiratory intensity and TSS/TA value (13.08%) of the fruit. Compared with the control group, the SA group had a higher content of sucrose (14.03%) and malic acid (29.13%). Meanwhile, SA reduced the accumulation of HO (27.73%) and O (45.44%) by enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase) and the content of antioxidant substances (ascorbic acid, total phenols, total flavonoids, and glutathione) in the fruit. In addition, 3 mmol L SA treatment led to higher levels of endogenous abscisic acid (18.49%) and SA (20.47%) in fruit, and lower concentration of jasmonic acid (42.68%), but had a weak effect on indole acetic acid levels.

The label-free shotgun proteomics analysis carried out in this study aimed to understand the molecular mechanisms that contribute towards tomato susceptibility to Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. perforans (Xep). To achieve this, comparative proteomics was performed on susceptible inoculated plants with the bacterium and the control group (saline solution) at 24 and 48 h after inoculation (hai).

Freshwater depletion becomes a significant challenge as the population grows and food demand rises. We evaluated the responses of lettuce cultivars () under saline stress in photosynthetic responses, production, and ion homeostasis. We used a randomized block design in a 3 × 5 factorial scheme with five replications-the first factor: three cultivars of curly lettuce: SVR 2005, Simpson, and Grand Rapids.

Plants must effectively respond to various environmental stimuli to achieve optimal growth. This is especially relevant in the context of climate change, where drought emerges as a major factor globally impacting crops and limiting overall yield potential. Throughout evolution, plants have developed adaptative strategies for environmental stimuli, with plant hormones and reactive oxygen species (ROS) playing essential roles in their development.

Chalcone synthase (CHS), the first key structural enzyme in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway, plays a crucial role in regulating plant responses to abiotic stresses and hormone signaling. However, its molecular functions remain largely unknown in , which is one of the most economically and ecologically important bamboo species and the most widely distributed one in China. This study identified 17 genes in and classified them into seven subgroups, showing a closer evolutionary relationship to genes from rice.

Exogenous plant hormones regulate the agronomic and physiological performance of plants and thus can influence the abundance of insect groups. We surveyed the arthropods on flowering plants and found that the abundance of natural enemies and in the plots treated with salicylic acid (SA) and indole acetic acid (IAA) was significantly increased compared with those in the clean water (control) plots. Then, we investigated the effects of spraying SA, IAA, and clean water on the population parameters of reared on Our results from the age-stage, two-sex life table analysis revealed a significantly shorter pre-adult duration for aphids reared on SA-treated compared to those reared on the other two treatments.
