This review discusses the research progress of regulating tree dwarfing in fruit tree rootstocks, including its definition, manifestation, mechanism and application of different rootstocks. Studies indicate that dwarfing rootstocks reduce vegetative growth while promoting reproductive growth. Compared with vigorous rootstocks, the contents of indole-3-acetic acid, cytokinin, and gibberellin in leaves is lower, while the content of abscisic acid is higher.

Seed germination is a critical step in the life cycle of plants. The far-red/red light photoreceptor phytochrome B (phyB) plays a dominant role in promoting seed germination, mainly by modulating the metabolism of gibberellin (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA), although the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we identified BREVIPEDICELLUS (BP)/KNAT1, a KNOX transcription factor that acted downstream of phyB and activated light-initiated seed germination in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Phytohormone gibberellins (GAs) were utilized to enhance the removal of tetracycline antibiotics and nutrients from swine wastewater by different algal-bacterial symbiosis. Compared to microalgae monoculture, microalgae-activated sludge, and microalgae-, microalgae-endophytic bacteria showed better growth, photosynthetic, and purification performance. At 50 mg L GAs addition concentration, the specific growth rate of -endophytic bacterial (S395-2) system was 0.

Bamboo usually undergoes a prolonged vegetative growth period for several decades. Additionally, not all bamboo species produce seeds, and the regulatory mechanisms governing embryogenic callus formation remain unclear, which constrains molecular breeding progress in bamboo. Here, we used buds of Bambusa changningensis Yi et B.
