nitric oxide (no) is a highly reactive signaling molecule and plays a variety of physiological roles in plants. the research on the application of no to postharvest preservation of flowers and fruits shows great promise in recent years. however, the physiological mechanism of exogenous no to affect cut flowers is not very clear, and no donor treatment protected plants from damage by increasing ...

Extracellular Vesicles, including exosomes, are small membrane fragments released from many cell types, like Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). They were recognized as a mechanism of intercellular communication. They can transfer proteins, lipids and nucleic acids to other cells. Thus, they have many physiological (angiogenesis, coagulation and tissue repair, etc.) and pathological (e.g. in autoimm...

Mikania micrantha is one of the most notorious invasive weeds in south China, especially orchard habitats. Based on principle niche competition, screening plants with strong competitiveness and managing vacant niches through natural alternative methods (replacement control) were expected to achieve sustainable ecological management species. To this end, two legumes, Desmodium heterocarpon Senna...
