Introduction: Walnut blight is a serious bacterial disease that affects the yield and quality of walnuts. is one of the main causative agents of walnut blight. However, there have been few studies on the response of walnuts to infection.
Methods: In this study, the soluble sugar, photosynthesis, antioxidant enzyme activities, and secondary metabolites were measured, and the transcriptomic analysis was performed to determine the response of walnut tissue cultures to infection.
Results: After pathogen inoculation, the soluble sugar content decreased, and photosynthesis was inhibited. Antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase and peroxidase) activities and secondary metabolites (phenol and flavonoid) contents increased, especially in the early stages of inoculation. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway is induced after infection, and pathogen infection promotes ABA and ethylene signal transduction and inhibits auxin signaling. In addition, SA and JA-related gene expression was altered after inoculation with , and the FLS- and calcium-mediated disease resistance signaling pathways were activated. Furthermore, our results suggested an involvement of the R-protein RPM-mediated disease resistance pathway in the response of walnuts to bacterial infections.
Discussion: Our findings indicated that phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, hormone signal transduction, and plant-pathogen interaction have key roles in pathogenic inoculation, which provide insights into the molecular mechanisms in the response of walnuts to infection.

Background: Stress is a prevalent mental health concern that often emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood. Since 2007, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved any novel anxiolytic pharmaceuticals, leading to increased interest in nutritional supplements as alternative therapies for stress management.
Purpose: Building on our previous study, this work aims to investigate the synergistic effects of Theanine (Th) and Walnut Peptide (WP) on stress mitigation and cognitive enhancement.

is one of the precious native rose rootstocks with a high reputation among plant producers, which has potential horticultural and pharmacological properties related to the cosmetic values and the production of secondary metabolites. Due to high horticultural consumption, applying the plant tissue culture technique as a major tool for healthy and massive-scale production of plants is not unexpected. However, the response of in vitro plantlets to various plant tissue culture ingredients is not well understood to tender an efficient applied protocol for qualitative and quantitative in vitro propagation.

In this study, the effect of growth regulators on shoot proliferation and rooting were evaluated to develop an efficient micropropagation protocol for the L. cultivars 'Cherry Soda' and 'Purple'. Apical meristems were isolated from actively growing shoots of stock plants and transferred to Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut (DKW) culture medium containing either 0.

Walnut ( L.), an ecologically and economically important species, requires the elucidation of its salt stress response mechanisms for improved salt tolerance breeding. This study elucidates the physiological and molecular mechanisms through which exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) mitigates salt stress in walnut, providing novel strategies for salt-tolerant cultivar development.

Introduction: Chronic back pain is a significant global healthcare challenge, with a lifetime incidence affecting approximately 80% of people worldwide. Most patients respond positively to nonsurgical management, while a substantial proportion of the remainder obtain relief from surgical therapy. For the minority of patients with chronic back pain who do not respond to conventional medical management (CMM) and are not candidates for spine surgery, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may be a viable treatment option.
