In this study, the content of lignan metabolites in coconut water was determined using liquid chromatography.

Study on CAT activity of tomato leaf cells under salt stress based on microhyperspectral imaging and transfer learning algorithm.

Salt stress easily leads to oxidative stress and promotes the catalase (CAT) response in tomato leaves. For the changes in catalase activity in leaf subcells, there is a need for a visual in situ detection method and mechanism analysis. This paper, taking catalase in leaf subcells under salt stress as the starting point, describes the use of microscopic hyperspectral imaging technology to dynamically detect and study catalase activity from a microscopic perspective, and lay the theoretical foundation for exploring the detection limit of catalase activity under salt stress.

Compost Addition Attenuates the Negative Impacts of High Soil Mineral Nitrogen Levels on Rhizosphere Microbial Characteristics and Enhances Cucumber Growth in Monoculture Systems.

Due to the increase in the human population, it is necessary to seek efficient methods of increasing crop productivity and, simultaneously, sustaining the soil. One way is to grow high demand crops continuously without rotating with other crops. This practice is often accompanied by increased rates of fertilizer application that can affect efficient nitrogen (N) cycling in the plant rhizosphere soil which, in turn, affects both plant growth and environmental pollution.

Transcriptional changes during tomato ripening and influence of brackish water irrigation on fruit transcriptome and sugar content.

Efficient management and utilization of brackish water irrigation help to minimize yield losses and promote fruit quality and sugar content in tomato fruit. However, the functional genes involved in sugar metabolic pathways and potential molecular pathways responsive to brackish water irrigation remain unknown. To this end, physiological responses and comparative transcriptional profiling was used to analyze the tomato fruit during the white-ripe period (CK1) and mature period (CK2) in plants grown under four water management strategies (rotating irrigation with brackish and fresh water during fruit development, T1; fresh water irrigation, T2; mixed brackish and fresh water irrigation, T3; mixed water and fresh water irrigation in sequence, T4).

Biochar-enhanced composts reduce the potential leaching of nutrients and heavy metals and suppress plant-parasitic nematodes in excessively fertilized cucumber soils.

Excessive fertilization is a common agricultural practice that has largely reduced soil nutrient retention capacity and led to nutrient leaching in China. To reduce nutrient leaching, in this study, we evaluated the application of biochar, compost, and biochar-compost on soil properties, leaching water quality, and cucumber plant growth in soils with different nutrient levels. In general, the concentrations of nutrients and heavy metals in leaching water were higher under high-nutrient conditions than under low-nutrient conditions.
