Southern corn leaf blight (SCLB) caused by threatens maize growth and yield worldwide. In this study, TMT-labeled comparative peptidomic analysis was established between infected and uninfected maize leaf samples using liquid-chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry. The results were further compared and integrated with transcriptome data under the same experimental conditions. Plant peptidomic analysis identified 455 and 502 differentially expressed peptides (DEPs) in infected maize leaves on day 1 and day 5, respectively. A total of 262 common DEPs were identified in both cases. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that the precursor proteins of DEPs are associated with many pathways generated by SCLB-induced pathological changes. The expression profiles of plant peptides and genes in maize plants were considerably altered after infection. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of SCLB pathogenesis and offer a basis for the development of maize genotypes with SCLB resistance.

Rapid alkalinization factors (RALFs) are cysteine-rich signaling peptides in plants that play critical roles in development, immune regulation, and responses to abiotic stress. Despite their importance, the functional characterization of RALF family members in Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum), a nutrient-rich crop known for its remarkable resilience to multiple stresses, remains largely unexplored. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide analysis to identify and characterize the FtRALF gene family in Tartary buckwheat, examining their phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, and duplication events.

The turnover of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil regulated by biodegradable microplastics (MPs) has garnered much attention due to its profound impact on the storage and stability of soil organic matter. However, the transformation and reactivity of plant-derived and microbially derived DOM by microorganisms adapted to biodegradable MPs, and the involved microbial physiological processes, remain nearly unknown. Here, we added virgin and aged polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) to agricultural soils and incubated for 56 days.

Demyelinating diseases, a prevalent group of neurological disorders, lead to impaired nerve conduction and sensorimotor dysfunctions. Despite existing treatments demonstrating some efficacy, their limitations have driven research toward exploring natural remedies. This review summarizes the therapeutic potential of four traditional tonic Chinese herbal medicines-ginsenosides, deer antler polypeptides, resveratrol, and ginkgo leaf extracts-for demyelinating diseases.

CRISPR ribonucleoprotein (RNP)-mediated genome editing offers a transgene-free platform for precise genetic modification in diverse herbaceous and tree species, including rice, wheat, apple, poplar, oil palm, rubber tree and grapevine. However, its application in woody plants faces distinct challenges, notably inefficient delivery and regeneration difficulties, particularly in species such as bamboo. While some of these issues also occur in herbaceous plants, they are often significantly more complex in woody species due to factors such as intricate cell wall architecture, widespread recalcitrant genotypes and inherent limitations of current delivery platforms.

Thunberg is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus that belongs to the Apiaceae family and is effective in improving inflammation, gout, and dizziness. However, the skin pruritus improvement effect and mechanism of action of Thunberg root extract (PJRE) have not yet been reported. We investigated the effects of PJRE on the regulation of pruritus and inflammatory responses in compound 48/80 (C48/80)-treated mice, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)/A23187-induced human skin mast cells, and LPS-stimulated mouse macrophages.
