Biochar and SiO NPs are effective soil conditioners, but the impacts and mechanisms of combined application in oilseed rape are not yet clear. Therefore, an experiment was designed to investigate oilseed rape growth, physiological indexes, and transcriptome sequencing under four treatments: control (CK), Platanus orientalis L. leaf biochar (B), SiO NPs (S), and BS. Our results showed that B, S and BS treatments all promoted the root growth, root activity and biomass of oilseed rape, especially the root length and fresh weight in BS, which were increased by 77.48% and 279.07%, respectively. Moreover, the three-dimensional fluorescence spectra of B and BS were similar, and the tyrosine-like substance proportion in B, S and BS increased from 7.8 to 9.4%, 10.2% and 19.5%, respectively. In transcriptome analysis, there were 10,280 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) shared in B and BS, 3431 DEGs shared in S and BS, and 2815 DEGs shared in B, S and BS. We also found that B, S and BS all regulated oilseed rape growth by inducing the lignin biosynthesis and the relevant genes encoding BBE-like, BGL, UDP in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway. The results provide gene regulation associated with the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis applying the biochar and SiO NPs, which can be used to increase biomass.

Drought conditions severely curtail the ability of plants to accumulate biomass due to the closure of stomata and the decrease of photosynthetic assimilation rate. Additionally, there is a shift in the plant's metabolic processes toward the production of metabolites that offer protection and aid in osmoadaptation, as opposed to those required for development and growth. To limit water loss via non-stomatal transpiration, plants adjust the load and composition of cuticle waxes, which act as an additional barrier.

The environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified (GM) crops in Japan requires collecting data from a comparative study of a GM and non-GM control in an in-country confined field trial (CFT). This in-country CFT requirement is used to address concerns that differences in the local environmental conditions may lead to differences in growth and/or risks of GM crops. However, this requirement for in-country CFT has recently been exempted for certain GM maize and GM cotton traits, and instead CFT data from other countries are used to inform the ERA of these GM events.

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are among the most promising alternatives to mineral fertilizers. However, little is known about the effects of applied bacteria on the native microbiota, including the rhizobacterial community, which plays a crucial role in bacteria-plant interactions. Therefore, this study is aimed at assessing the effects of PGPB not only on plants but also, importantly, on the native rhizobacterial community of winter oilseed rape.

Unlabelled: The biodiversity of CO-assimilating bacterial communities is pivotal for carbon sequestration in agricultural systems. Changes in the diversity, structure, and activity of the soil chemolithoautotrophic bacteria were examined in four agricultural areas, Dulan (DL), Gonghe (GH), Huzhu (HZ), and Datong (DT) counties in Qinghai Province, where wheat, oilseed rape, and barley were planted. This process was performed using Illumina amplicon sequencing of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphatecarboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) gene ( Form I) and activity data.

The ability of some rhizosphere bacteria to mitigate herbicidal stress in cultivated plants may be useful in agriculture and bioremediation. There is poor understanding of how bacteria directly or through herbicide degradation affect the biochemical processes in plants exposed to sulfonylurea herbicides. In this study, treatment with a combination of herbicide metsulfuron-methyl (MSM) and bacteria ( DA1.
