"title": "Utilization of endophytic bacteria for liquid biofertilizer production with a newly designed prototype fermentor for plant improvement",
"abstract": "<p>Endophytic bacteria are a promising source of cost-effective and eco-friendly approaches that are highly desirable for sustainable agriculture. The study successfully developed a novel prototype fermentor and demonstrated an impactful utilization of endophytic bacteria for large-scale production of biofertilizers. The fermentor was designed to integrate i) a temperature control unit, ii) a heating unit, a heated water circulation unit, and iii) a microbial growth unit, ensuring precise control of temperature and agitation, providing a conducive environment containing an affordable medium for the proliferation of single endophytic bacterium, or consortium of endophytic bacteria. The capacities of the fermentor revealed that the temperature of the growth medium could be elevated from 29°C to 37°C within 50 minutes at varying rotation speeds of 60 rpm, 75 rpm, or 90 rpm, securing uniform temperature distribution for optimum growth of the consortia. Each consortium's average growth rate was recorded after 48 hours. Furthermore, the system efficiently returned to the initial temperature of 29°C from 37°C within 4.5 hours and maintained a temperature around 35°C to 37°C during a brief period of over ~70 minutes of power outage. The amplified culture of consortium A. comprised of growth-promoting endophytic bacteria (<em>Klebsiella </em>sp. HSTU-Bk11, <em>Acinetobacter</em> sp. HSTU-Abk29, <em>Citrobacter</em> sp. HSTU-ABk30, and <em>Enterobacter cloacae</em> HSTU-ABk39) significantly improved the morphological traits of rice plants (root, shoot, tillers number) along with the crop yield in the fields. This study presents a novel fermentor, facilitating the large-scale production of plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria, and presenting new insights for enhancing sustainable organic agricultural research and industrial applications.</p>",

"title": "Plant improvement and metabolite production in <span>Cannabis sativa</span>: Recent biotechnological advances",
"abstract": "<p>The <em>Cannabis sativa </em>plant is an excellent source of metabolites, fiber, and medicinal properties. Phytocannabinoids are the secondary metabolites naturally derived from <em>Cannabis</em> plant species<em>. </em>These metabolites are promising and can be used in producing phytomedicine or plant-based therapeutics. However, many of these compounds are produced in low quantities across different<em> Cannabis</em> species. To solve this limitation, <em>in vitro,</em> biotechnological methods offer promising solutions for enhancing the production of secondary metabolites in <em>Cannabis</em>. This review highlights the biotechnological approaches for enhancing <em>Cannabis </em>secondary metabolite production through <em>in vitro </em>plant improvement techniques such as plant regeneration, elicitor-responsive metabolite induction, polyploidy manipulation, protoplast culture, bioreactor-based hairy root culture, genetic transformation, and genome editing. These biotechnological approaches might be useful for improving <em>Cannabis</em> plants and increasing plant capacity to produce potential metabolites. These phytochemical and bioactive compounds found in <em>Cannabis</em> species could be used as alternative resources for pharmaceutical and industrial production.</p>",

Glandular trichomes, located on the aerial parts and female flowers, serve as production and storage sites for cannabinoids and terpenoids. Cannabinoid synthesis involves olivetolic acid (OLA), from the polyketide pathway, and geranyl diphosphate (GPP), from the deoxyxylulose phosphate/methyl-erythritol phosphate (DOXP/MEP) pathway, as key precursors. Terpenoids, such as monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, and triterpenoids are produced via the Plastidial mevalonate (MVA) or DOXP/MEP pathways (PMPP) or cytoplasmic mevalonate pathway (CMP). The main flavonoid classes, flavones and flavonols, are synthesized in Cannabis sativa through the phenylpropanoid pathway (PPP), converting phenylalanine to p-coumaroyl-CoA.",

The infection process begins when the bacterium is attracted to a plant's wounded site through chemotaxis. It then penetrates the plant tissue, transferring TL-DNA (such as rolA, rolB, rolC, and rolD genes) into the plant genome. This transfer is facilitated by the virulence (vir) genes on the Ri-plasmid and the chv genes on the bacterial chromosomal DNA. Once integrated, the TL-DNA promotes the production of phytohormones like auxin and cytokinin, leading to the development of the characteristic hairy roots.",

"caption": "Figure 4. Mechanism of elicitor-triggered signal transduction pathways leading to the synthesis of plant secondary metabolites. The elicitors, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and plant hormones, interact with specific receptors located on the plasma membrane, initiating multiple signaling pathways. Upon receptor activation, a rapid influx of calcium ions (Ca²⁺ burst) occurs, which is crucial for initiating intracellular signal transduction. The Ca²⁺ ions activate G-proteins, leading to downstream protein phosphorylation and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation. H₂O₂, a key reactive oxygen species, is generated and acts as a secondary messenger in elicitor-induced signaling, playing a role in the activation of calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs), cyclic GMP (cGMP), cyclic AMP (cAMP), and phosphoinositide signaling pathways, which further enhance MAPK activation. Phospholipase C (PLC) is activated, resulting in the cleavage of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP₂) to generate inositol trisphosphate (IP₃) and diacylglycerol (DAG). IP₃ mediates the release of Ca²⁺ from intracellular stores, reinforcing the calcium signaling cascade. Jasmonic acid, derived from linolenic acid, is also produced via this pathway and plays a role in the regulation of secondary metabolite production. The figure highlights the involvement of potassium (K⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ion fluxes, as well as the movement of hydrogen ions (H⁺) through ion channels, leading to cytoplasmic acidification. These processes are crucial for maintaining ion homeostasis and promoting the activation of downstream signaling pathways. The activation of MAPKs triggers a cascade of phosphorylation events, leading to the modulation of transcription factors (TFs) within the nucleus, which regulate the expression of genes involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis. The coordinated activation of these signaling pathways culminates in the production of secondary metabolites, which play essential roles in plant defense and stress adaptation. Enzyme activation further enhances these biosynthetic processes.",

"abstract": "<p>Categorization of living things in a particular area is helpful to know their hypothetical relationships, similarities, dissimilarities, and present status of a particular species. The present study focused on a comprehensive taxonomic survey of the present floral arrangement in the semi-natural area of the Uttara region from August 2021 to October 2022. Basic methodological approaches and field surveys were employed to elucidate the floral diversity of the Uttara region, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The findings revealed a total of 225 plant species including, seasonal plants in the study area. These species were categorized into 119 families, with 39.11% of the species belonging to 43 families and the remaining 60.89% belonging to 76 different families. Among all families, Fabaceae is the largest family having 7% of the species. The rest of the plant families occupied 44% of species is the minor family having one species each. The recorded species were represented by trees (28.0 %), shrubs (16.0 %), herbs (43.55 %), and climbers (12.40 %). The plant species found in the study area were categorized into several functional groups. The entire population of plant communities was 225 including seasonal species, which were divided into 203 genera, 119 families, and 126, 46, 17, 15, 29, 10, and 14 plant species classified as ornamental, fruit, vegetable, spice, medicinal, timber, and plantation crop, respectively. To enhance the floral diversity and ecological balance of the area, it is necessary to implement sustainable management practices, public awareness, and participation in plant conservation activities, and should introduce sustainable native plant species. This study could be useful to plant taxonomists, plant ecologists, or naturalists for conducting region-specific surveys on the present status of species, or even flora and fauna.</p>",

"abstract": "<p>Mungbean [<em>Vigna radiata</em> L. (Wilczek)] is a valuable legume crop in Bangladesh. However, it faces severe difficulties forming viable roots during the growth stage. The successful root production of mungbean through an efficient tissue culture system has not been well established. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the problem of unsuccessful root formation in mungbean plants and to develop a very efficient method of <em>in vitro</em> regeneration using micropropagation. The BARI Mung-3 mungbean variety was used as an explant. Several shoots were produced from cotyledonary node (CN) explants obtained from 3-day-old seedlings that were germinated <em>in vitro</em>. The plant samples were cultivated on MSB5 medium enriched with 5.0 μM BAP. Shoot generation efficiency per plant was 5.36 ± 0.56 (80.08%). However, the viable root generation in a regulated setting was unsuccessful despite employing multiple combinations of rooting media, including full and half-strength MSB5 medium with different concentrations and combinations of auxins. To resolve this issue, a micrografting approach was applied with scion 3.0 cm in length and 14-day-old mungbean rootstocks. This system resulted in efficient shoots where the viable root generation efficiency rate was 55%. Interestingly, the micro-grafted plantlets successfully produced viable seeds. The successful micropropagation with viable root generation in mungbean plants successfully overcomes the difficulties in rooting and offers an efficient method for successful mungbean production. These new findings open new options for efficient plant generation with mass propagation for ready-smart mungbean production.</p>",

"abstract": "<p><em>Cordia macleodii</em> is known as a medicinal plant with hepatoprotective and wound-healing properties. <em>Cordia macleodii</em> contains relatively high levels of flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, and terpenoids. This study aimed to investigate the <em>in vitro</em> antibacterial and antioxidant properties of <em>Cordia macleodii</em> methanol leaf extract. The antioxidant activity of the methanol extract of <em>Cordia macleodii</em> leaves was determined using the DPPH scavenging test, total phenol content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC). The antibacterial activity was evaluated using the disc diffusion method. The extract exhibited significant dose-dependent antioxidant activity comparable to ascorbic acid. The total flavonoid content was 611.9 mg/g, and the total phenol content was 164.4 mg/g. The DPPH free radical scavenging assay indicated an ascorbic acid production of 523.21 μg/ml, while routine tests showed 18.35 μg/ml. Additionally, the leaf extracts demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against various bacteria, even exceeding the effectiveness of Ciprofloxacin. Further research is necessary to develop targeted therapies, potentially opening new avenues for harnessing the medicinal properties of <em>Cordia macleodii</em>. Clinical studies are also needed to investigate its potential as an alternative medicine.</p>",

"title": "Coordination of elicitors and ascorbate-glutathione cycle: A vital nexus for mitigating post-harvest injury and losses of cultivated fruits",
"abstract": "<p>Fruit losses and waste are predominantly caused by postharvest stresses, with their management traditionally reliant on synthetic compounds. The extensive utilization of these compounds can cause harmful impacts on both human health and the environment, necessitating a reduction in their use. Recent advancements have led to the development of novel, benign strategies using natural or biologically derived compounds. These compounds, known as 'elicitors,' have the strength to instigate the plant's defense mechanism, enhancing the fruit’s resilience counter to future stress and reducing postharvest spoilage. In recent years, the impact of the plant defense system concerning elicitor compounds has been measurable through physiological parameters or the enzymatic activity of molecular markers. Antioxidant activity, a crucial parameter to determine fruit quality, shelf-life, and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, significantly functions in stress response and maintaining postharvest quality. Elicitors can prompt endurance in fruits towards diverse environmental stresses by promoting the biosynthesis of antioxidant components and enhancing antioxidant capability through the ascorbate-glutathione (AsA-GSH) cycle. Recent findings have exhibited that applying chemical elicitors can enhance antioxidant activity by augmenting the content of AsA and GSH to regulate redox stability, thereby maintaining quality in harvested fruits. This review summarises recent findings demonstrating how elicitor spray can enrich antioxidant activity in harvested fruits by accelerating the synthesis of antioxidants by activating other defense mechanisms providing insight into fruit defense mechanisms induced under various elicitors and their prospects in postharvest biology.</p>",

Nitric oxide (NO) is known to serve as a signalling molecule in plants, but its role in mitigating Fe-deficiency in soybeans is still vague. Therefore, the study aims to explore physiological and molecular mechanisms associated with Fe-acquisition and homeostasis is highly demandable. In this study, we found Fe-deficiency occurred leaf chlorosis, inhibiting photosynthetic performance and biomass yield in soybean. However, the exogenous supplementation of sodium nitroprusside, a donor of nitric oxide (NO) significantly restored these physiological attributes. The fluorescence intensity of NO indicates that NO-singling induced in response to Fe-deficiency, along with NO induces conversion of Fe<sup>3+</sup> to Fe<sup>2+</sup>, which leads to Fe acquisition and homeostasis mechanism in Strategy I soybean plants. This study further suggests that NO up-regulates the expression candidate genes <em>ZmIRT1</em>, <em>ZmFRO2,</em> and<em> ZmSultr1;3</em> related to Fe-acquisition and homeostasis in soybean plants. These findings might be useful to soybean breeders and farmers for coping with Fe-deficiency in Strategy I soybean and other grains crops.</p>",

"abstract": "<p>Banana peels can be utilized in many ways such as nutraceuticals to prevent or cure diseases. Therefore, it is important to understand the phytochemical composition, antioxidant capacity, and safety profile of <em>Musa sapientum</em> variety Muraru peels. The study identified the chemical composition of unripe and ripe banana (Muraru) peels of the <em>Musa sapientum</em>, along with their antioxidant capacity, and evaluated the oral acute and sub-acute toxicity of the hydroethanolic extracts. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analyses were performed, and GC-MS was used in the identification of bioactive compounds present. The DPPH total antioxidant activity was used to evaluate the scavenging percentage and IC<sub>50</sub>. Acute and sub-acute toxicity tests were done for the hydroethanolic peel extract. Haematology, biochemistry, and relative organ weight were analyzed, and the sub-acute group organs were further analyzed for histopathology. Flavonoids, tannins, and phenols were found abundant in both unripe and ripe banana peels. GC-MS showed that the peels were rich with lipids, fatty acids, and terpenoids. The unripe peels showed significant total antioxidant capacity. No significant difference (p> 0.05) was observed in haematology, biochemistry, or relative organ weight compared to the normal controls. Histopathological examination of the liver, lung, heart, kidney, and spleen showed normal tissue orientation in all treated groups. Unripe and ripe banana peels both contained rich secondary metabolites, which greatly influence their antioxidant capacity. The toxicity profile indicated that the hydroethanolic peel extract is nontoxic.</p>",

"abstract": "<p>Heavy metal (HMs) toxicity is one of the major critical threats to agricultural plant production and global food security. In this current scenario, eco-friendly and hazardous-free sustainable crop production strategies for detoxifying and tolerating HMs are imperative. This updated study provides the impact of HMs on agricultural plants' growth, physiology, and yield. Further, this study explores the significance of glutathione (GSH) and phytochelatins (PCs) and a series of candidate genes that showed potential role in HMs stress tolerance in diverse plant species. This updated study encourages plant breeders or farmers to develop HMs stress-tolerant plant production through a breeding program. The overall study findings open new avenues of multiomics-assisted plant improvement, and it will help phytoremediation, a clean environment, and smart agriculture for sustainable plant production.</p>",

"abstract": "<p>Generic diversity (GD) screening helps to identify candidate genes involved in diseases, pests, or other stress resistance in plants. GD is crucial for maintaining vigor and healthy plant population. The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is a rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular marker, effective for screening genetic diversity in diverse plant species. In this study, we applied the RAPD-markers-assisted PCR approach to explore genetic diversity (GD) among 7 varieties of eggplant (<em>Solanum melongena</em> L.) at DNA level. Further, we assessed the presence of <em>Bt-Cry1Ac </em>gene in those varieties using the PCR approach. The eggplants showed genetic diversity at the DNA level. The amplification with two RAPD primers (OPA-02, OPA-04) produced a total of 41 bands. The highest similarity showed 78.57% among sample 4 (Eggplant China) vs sample 7 (Purple king F1) and sample 1 (Eggplant Srilanka) vs sample 4 (Eggplant China), while the lowest was 28.57% among sample 7 (Purple king F1) vs sample 3 (Eggplant Chittagong-1). In addition, the PCR results for the <em>Bt Cry1Ac</em> primer did not show a considerable band in the expected amplicon size. The dendrogram showed the genetic variability and relationship among all seven eggplant varieties at the genetic level. The study formulated a simple marker-based method for an effective molecular protocol to study genetics in eggplants. It also reported the presence of the <em>Bt</em> gene in popular eggplant varieties.</p>",

These qualitative and quantitative attributes are changed during its life cycle, no updated studies available on whether and how these traits are influenced by several environmental factors. Therefore, we updated the role of several breeding strategies for developing alfalfa yield, nutritional quality and biotic-abiotic stress tolerance in alfalfa. This study explored integrated breeding approaches would be suitable for the desire traits improvement in alfalfa. Subsequently, the integration of multiomics including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and ionomics may facilitate the agronomic traits improvement and plant fitness in alfalfa. Furthermore, this study proposes integration of omics-system with top-down (phenotype to genotype) and bottom-up (genotype to phenotype) model that can be helpful to characterize or develop desire qualitative and qualitative traits in alfalfa.
