Endophytes, both bacterial and fungal, constitute an integral component of the leaf ecosystem. Here we argue that the respiratory metabolism of endophytes in the intercellular spaces of leaves could have a significant role in enhancing leaf photosynthesis by enriching the internal CO concentration, especially in C3 plants.

Micro-and-nano plastics (MNPs) are pervasive in terrestrial ecosystems and represent an increasing threat to plant health; however, the mechanisms underlying their phytotoxicity remain inadequately understood. MNPs can infiltrate plants through roots or leaves, causing a range of toxic effects, including inhibiting water and nutrient uptake, reducing seed germination rates, and impeding photosynthesis, resulting in oxidative damage within the plant system. The effects of MNPs are complex and influenced by various factors including size, shape, functional groups, and concentration.

Nuclear Factor Y (NF-Y) represents a group of transcription factors commonly present in higher eukaryotes, typically consisting of three subunits: NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC. They play crucial roles in the embryonic development, photosynthesis, flowering, abiotic stress responses, and other essential processes in plants. To better understand the genome-wide NF-Y domain-containing proteins, the protein physicochemical properties, chromosomal localization, synteny, phylogenetic relationships, genomic structure, promoter -elements, and protein interaction network of NtNF-Ys in tobacco ( L.

Boron (B) is essential for plant growth and helps mitigate metal toxicity in various crop plants. However, the potential role and underlying mechanisms of B in alleviating antimony (Sb) toxicity in rice remain unexplored. In this study, we investigated the effects of H₃BO₃ supplementation (30, 50, and 75 μM) on morphological growth, physiological and biochemical traits, Sb content, and the subcellular distribution of Sb in rice plants under 100 μM Sb stress during the seedling stage in a hydroponic system.

Heavy metal pollution, especially arsenic toxicity, significantly impairs plant growth and development. Phenolic acids, known for their antioxidant properties and involvement in stress signaling, are gaining increased attention as plant secondary metabolites with the potential to enhance plant resistance to these stressors. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of syringic acid (SA1, 10 μM; SA2, 250 μM; SA3, 500 μM) on growth, photosynthetic parameters, and antioxidant activity in lettuce seedlings subjected to arsenic stress (As, 100 μM).
