Origanum vulgare L., a medicinal and aromatic herb, has been used for hundreds of years. This plant contains valuable chemical compounds that can be used as medicine for treatment. On the other hand, a gradual increase in the planet's average temperature could negatively affect the growth and the composition of the O. vulgare. For this reason, in this study, the effect of two protective compounds, namely salicylic acid (SA) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), on temperature and salinity stress conditions was investigated. Oregano plants were grown at 23/12°C temperature as control and 27/16°C heat stress in the greenhouse (16/8 h photoperiod) for one months. The plants were treated with GABA and SA and subjected to salt stress for 30 days. Subsequently, the plant's physiological, biochemical, and phytochemical characteristics were examined. The results showed that all studied traits (in control and treated samples) were significantly different at 27°C, from 23°C. In addition, the highest amount of thymol and carvacrol were detected from plants grown at 27°C. In regards to salinity, stressed- plants had less damage to membrane stability and H2O2 level, when treated with GABA or SA. This study revealed that both SA and GABA compounds had an exellent protective effect on temperature and salt stress on O. vulgare. Based on enzyme-pigment evaluations and secondary metabolites, SA showed a better protective effect on temperature effects and GABA in a saline environment. In general, using these compounds can provide better conditions for the growth and preservation of O. vulgare chemical compounds. However, it certainly requires more experiments to find the signal pathways involved in these processes.

Oxidative stress is a major threat to plant growth and survival. To understand how plants cope with oxidative stress, we carried out a genetic screen for Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants with altered response to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in root growth. Herein, we report the characterization of one of the hypersensitive mutants obtained.

Strawberries, known for their antioxidant properties, exhibit changes in physiology and metabolite profiles based on cultivation techniques. In Indonesia, strawberries are typically grown in highland regions, but climate change has necessitated adjustments in cultivation practices to enhance production and quality. This study investigates the adaptation of strawberry plants in lowland environments using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and the exogenous application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and methyl salicylic acid (MeSA).

Androgenic alopecia (AGA), the most prevalent type of progressive hair loss, currently lacks an effective topical treatment regimen. In this study, we synthesized an ionic liquid (IL) to co-solubilize minoxidil (MXD) and finasteride (FIN) and subsequently formulated them into an in situ thermosensitive ionic liquid/cyclodextrin/poloxamer hydrogel (ICPG), termed M + F@ICPG. M + F@ICPG was developed for the transdermal co-delivery of these two drugs, aiming to provide a multipath therapeutic approach for AGA while avoiding the adverse effects commonly associated with oral FIN and topical MXD tincture.
