Article Abstract
Five new brassinosteroid analogues were synthetized from 3β-acetoxy-23,24-dinorchol-4-en-22-oic acid. All the obtained compound showed significant activity in the Rice Lamina Inclination Test. Interestingly the effects of the methyl ester of 3β-hydroxy-6-oxo-23,24-dinorcholan-22-oic acid (14) at concentrations of 1 × 10 and 1 × 10 M proved to be higher than those produced by brassinolide. In silico Molecular Docking and Induced fit docking (IFD) simulations for the compounds with the highest biological activity data were carried out to investigate the binding mode interactions into the brassinolide-binding groove which revealed that the compound 14 had high binding energy values and a good affinity.

Plants enzymatically synthesize melatonin and its hydroxylated forms, such as 2-hydroxymelatonin (2-OHM) and 3-hydroxymelatonin (3-OHM). Interestingly, 2-OHM and 3-OHM are present in plants at higher concentrations than melatonin and are induced at night, which is consistent with the nocturnal induction of melatonin in animals. However, the biological functions of 2-OHM and 3-OHM in plants are unclear.

Vascular tissues are crucial to providing plants with physical support and transporting water, nutrients, and signaling metabolites. Mechanical stress produced by wind, insects, and other external factors affects plant growth and development. Mechanical load weight treatments, simulating these stressors, are known to induce specific changes in vascular tissues, leading to increased stem diameter and a higher number of vascular bundles (VBs).

Background: Anthocyanin and chlorophyll are two compounds responsible for coloration in plants. Plant hormones can influence the accumulation of anthocyanins and chlorophyll. In this study, Paeonia ostii and Paeonia qiui, which exhibit red leaves during their juvenile stage, were selected to explore the effects of different hormones on leaf coloration.

Cadmium (Cd) stress poses significant threats to vegetable crops, impacting their growth, physiological processes, and safety as part of the human food chain. This review systematically summarizes the latest advances in the molecular mechanisms of vegetable crops' resistance to Cd stress. First, physiological and biochemical responses are outlined, including growth inhibition, impaired photosynthesis, oxidative stress, disrupted nutrient absorption, altered phytohormone levels, and gene expression changes.

Background: Drought severely impacts the growth of cotton, and the application of plant biostimulants offers an effective approach to enhancing crop drought tolerance. γ-Poly-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) is a novel and environmentally friendly biostimulant, but its functions and mechanisms in responding to drought stress in cotton are still unclear.
Results: This study aims to elucidate the role of the plant biostimulant γ-PGA in the response of cotton to drought stress.
