Short germination is a process that can improve bioactive compounds in rice. This work aimed investigate the physical properties, phenolic compounds (PC), antioxidant activity and amino acids composition of husk + bran, brown and milled rice with high amylose content after short germination (16 h). α-amylase activity (Falling Number, FN) and enthalpy (ΔH) were unchanged (p < 0.05). RVA curve profiles were similar, even though after short germination and milling. Globally, metabolomics analysis identified 117 PC, in which 111 (bound), 104 (free) and 21 revealed in both extracts. p-Coumaric, trans-ferulic and ferulic acids were the most abundant PC revealed in all fractions. The portion husk + bran showed the highest level of total antioxidant activity (709.90 µmol TE) in both free and bound fractions. In terms of total amino acids, there was no statistical difference (p < 0.05) among non-germinated and germinated samples, contrary to free amino acids content. Glutamic acid (Glu) presented the highest values combining short germination and milling (1725-1900 mg/100 g) consequently, leads to higher value of GABA (12.21 mg/100 g). The combination of short germination and milling demonstrated a good strategy to improve the nutritional quality of rice, unless the thermal and pasting properties have been altered, contribute to potential health benefits on human nutrition.

Plants can sustain various degrees of damage or compensate for tissue loss by regrowth without significant fitness costs. This tolerance to insect herbivory depends on the plant's developmental stage during which the damage is inflicted and on how much tissue is removed. Plant fitness correlates, that is, biomass and germination of seeds, were determined at different ontogenetic stages, vegetative, budding, or flowering stages of three annual brassicaceous species exposed to feeding by Pieris brassicae caterpillars at different intensities.

The Lanzhou lily bulbs are often vulnerable to postharvest infections by pathogenic fungi, leading to lily bulb rot. This study investigated the ability of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by Stenotrophomonas geniculata J-0 to control the highly pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum BH-7 in postharvest Lanzhou lily bulbs. VOCs of S.

Wheat is a most important food crop worldwide. Wheat is reported to be susceptible to a variety of fungi, which could induce huge economic losses and the contamination of potential mycotoxins could bring serious toxic effects. In this work, UV-C irradiation treatment on Fusarium infected wheat seeds during germination was investigated.

Article Synopsis
- - Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) technology generates a mix of reactive species, UV radiation, and electromagnetic fields for biological applications, notably improving seed germination and plant growth, but the specific plant responses to CAP are still unclear.
- - In a study, young Arabidopsis thaliana leaves exposed to short CAP treatments showed rapid, localized tissue damage while increasing hydrogen peroxide levels and upregulating stress-related genes, similar to a wound response.
- - The research highlighted the activation of RSH genes, which are involved in stress regulation and photosynthesis, suggesting that CAP exposure triggers specific signaling pathways in plants, warranting further investigation into these metabolic responses.
