Day and blue light modify growth, cell physiology and indole-3-acetic acid production ofAzospirillum brasilenseAz39 under planktonic growth conditions

R. Molina et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of light on growth, cell physiology, and stress response of non-photosynthetic rhizobacteria Azospirillum brasilense Az39 under planktonic growth conditions. Blue light and daylight were found to be stress effectors, affecting biomass production, IAA biosynthesis, bacterial response to stress, cell aggregation, and biofilm formation differently. These findings could be useful in improving the production and functionality of biofertilizers.

Influence of leaf shape on the scaling of leaf surface area and length in bamboo plants

Pei-Jian Shi et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the leaf area of bamboo plants can be calculated by the product of leaf length and width, with the prediction accuracy depending on the variation in the width-to-length ratio. The scaling relationship of leaf area with leaf length in bamboo species is best described by the Montgomery equation, emphasizing the importance of leaf shape in accurately predicting leaf area.

Some important biochemical changes orchestrating flower development and senescence in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia Viv. and Petunia hybrida Vilm. flowers

Shaziya Nisar et al.

Summary: The comparative study between Nicotiana plumbaginifolia and Petunia hybrida revealed differences in lipid peroxidation, membrane stability, and antioxidant enzyme activities during flower development and senescence. Both plants showed an increase in antioxidant enzyme activities up to the open flower stage, followed by a decrease towards senescence. Ethylene was detected only in the senescent stages of both flowers, indicating a climacteric rise. Transcripts of senescence-associated genes were found to accumulate in the open flower stage for both plant species.

Summary: The release of harmful wastes via different industrial activities is the main cause of heavy metal toxicity. A study was conducted to assess the effects of heavy metal stress on Sesbania sesban, with the inoculation of heavy-metal-tolerant bacteria. The results showed that the bacterial strains enhanced plant growth by increasing root length, shoot length, fresh weight, proline content, and antioxidant enzyme activity under metal stress conditions.
