is an important medicinal and ornamental tree widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas. However, its seeds lose viability rapidly after harvest, which has created hurdles in large-scale propagation. Here, we describe the development of a rapid and efficient de novo organogenesis system for , incorporating both indirect and direct regeneration pathways.

, commonly known as Galangal, is not only widely used as a medicinal plant but also holds significant ornamental value in horticulture and landscape design due to its unique plant structure and floral aesthetics in China. This study evaluates the impact of current and future climate change scenarios (ssp126, ssp245, ssp370, and ssp585) on the suitable habitats for in China. A total of 73 reliable distribution points for were collected, and 11 key environmental variables were selected.

Article Synopsis
  • * The research identified key sterilization methods (ethanol, fungicide, and sterile water) and found that the best growth medium for plant propagation includes a combination of 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) and indoleacetic acid (IAA).
  • * Results showed that using α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) improved rooting success, with rates increasing from 78% to 100% as NAA concentration rose, while a 1:1 mix of red soil and sand led to 100% survival of seedlings.

Background: The cultivation of bananas encounters substantial obstacles, particularly due to the detrimental effects of cold stress on their growth and productivity. A potential remedy that has gained attention is the utilization of ethyl mesylate (EMS)-induced mutagenesis technology, which enables the creation of a genetically varied group of banana mutants. This complex procedure entails subjecting the mutants to further stress screening utilizing L-Hyp in order to identify those exhibiting improved resistance to cold.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in plant resistance to pathogen infections. However, little is known about the role of miRNAs in banana Fusarium wilt, which is the most economically devastating disease in banana production. In the present study, we identified and characterized a total of 18 miR169 family members in banana ( L.
