    The Biomimetic Turing Machine

    Jiahao Li1, Yinbo Zhu1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.30, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.011955

    Abstract Movements actuated by the moisture in plant tissues are prevalent in nature. Different microstructures of plants determine the various patterns of moisture-actuated movements. For instance, the graded lignin fraction of Selaginella lepidophylla leads to the a graded curvature morphology, while the fiber orientation angles determine the helical chirality of chiral seed pods. Inspired by these two types of plant microstructures, a theoretical framework for a biomimetic Turing machine is constructed. Similar to the Turing machine introduced by Alan Turing in 1936, the biomimetic Turing machine has a ribbon-like bilayer structure composed of numerous units, whose More >

    Interplay between Plants and Microbial Communities: Insights from Holobionts and Environmental Interactions

    Sejin Choi1,2, Ho-Seok Lee1,2,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.10, pp. 2519-2534, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.058012 - 30 October 2024

    Abstract Plants interact with a complex network of microorganisms, forming a dynamic holobiont that is crucial for their health, growth, and adaptation. This interconnected system is deeply influenced by environmental factors, which modulate the relationships within the plant microbiome. Key environmental drivers such as light, temperature, and moisture can alter the balance of these interactions, impacting plant immunity, resilience, and overall fitness. The traditional disease triangle model, which emphasizes plant-pathogen-environment interactions, is enhanced by incorporating the role of the microbiome, revealing how microbial communities contribute to disease outcomes. This review highlights the importance of shifting focus More >

    Claudia A. Porcelli1, Gerardo Rubio2, Flavio H. Gutiérrez Boem2, Raul S. Lavado2,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.8, pp. 2009-2018, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.052874 - 30 August 2024

    Abstract The effects of the salt stress on plant growth are usually increased by the water stress. We studied the impact of both stresses in simultaneous pulses of drought and salinity on Paspalum dilatatum. This forage species is native to South America, spread in grasslands in many tropical, subtropical, and temperate areas of the world, and very common in grasslands of the Flooding Pampas of Argentina. Mimicking what happens in nature. We compared a pot experiment, a non-stressed control against water stress for a month (midpoint between field capacity and wilting point), and two saline stresses (moderate,… More >

    Ramiro Reyes-Castro1, Héctor G. Núñez-Palenius1,*, Juan I. Valiente-Banuet2, María E. Sosa-Morales1, Blanca E. Orosco-Alcalá1, Rafael Guzmán-Mendoza1, Graciela M. L. Ruiz-Aguilar1, Rogelio Costilla-Salazar1

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.7, pp. 1467-1484, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.051644 - 30 July 2024

    Abstract Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), along with potato and tomato, is one of the three most cultivated vegetables in the world. Bell pepper is worldwide accepted due to its characteristics of color, smell, flavor, and texture. Bell pepper is also considered a nutritious food due to its vitamin and antioxidant contents. In Mexico, bell pepper production has a high value because it is grown for the international markets, particularly the United States of America. Nevertheless, the abscission of flowers and fruits is a factor that limits the yield, hinders the planning of activities, and causes a More >

    Endophytic Occupation in Nodules of Rhynchosia Plants from Semiarid Regions of Argentina

    Cinthia T. Lucero1, María de los Á. Ruíz2, Fabiola Pagliero1, Carolina Castaño1, Mariela L. Ambrosino1, Graciela S. Lorda1,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.6, pp. 1081-1099, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.050762 - 27 June 2024

    Abstract Beneficial microbes can improve soil health by promoting soil structure, nutrient cycling, and disease suppression. In addition, a wide array of rhizospheric microbes are responsible for producing metabolically active compounds including various types of plant growth regulators. So, microbial biodiversity studies could contribute to the improvement of agricultural practices in deprived areas, such as the Pampean semiarid region. The vast majority of studies conducted on endophytic microorganisms have focused on intensive crop legume species. In contrast, little attention has been paid to microorganisms of native legumes, whose ecology is not directly affected by human action.… More >

    Microbial Fertilizer: A Sustainable Strategy for Medicinal Plants Production

    Chuang Liu1,2, Jing Xie2, Hao Liu2, Can Zhong2, Gen Pan2, Shuihan Zhang2, Jian Jin2,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.6, pp. 1221-1236, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.050759 - 27 June 2024

    Abstract Medicinal plants have aroused considerable interest as an alternative to chemical drugs due to the beneficial effects of their active secondary metabolites. However, the extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in pursuit of yield has caused serious pollution to the environment, which is not conducive to sustainable development in the field of medicinal plants. Microbial fertilizers are a type of “green fertilizer” containing specific microorganisms that can improve the soil microbial structure, enhance plant resistance to biological and abiotic stresses, and increase the yield of medicinal plants. The root exudates of medicinal plants attract… More >

    The Correlation between Nutrition and Transport Mechanism under Abiotic Stress in Plants: A Comprehensive Review

    Muhammad Saleem1, Jianhua Zhang1, Muhammad Qasim2, Rashid Iqbal3, Li Song1,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.6, pp. 1325-1344, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.048493 - 27 June 2024

    Abstract Variations in the nutrients and water that plants require for metabolism, development, and the maintenance of cellular homeostasis are the main causes of abiotic stress in plants. It has, however, hardly ever been studied how these transporter proteins, such as aquaporin which is responsible for food and water intake in cell plasma membranes, interact with one another. This review aims to explore the interactions between nutrient transporters and aquaporins during water and nutrient uptake. It also investigates how symbiotic relationships influence the plant genome’s responses to regulatory processes such as photoperiodism, senescence, and nitrogen fixation. More >

    Abstract Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) is caused by Hemileia vastatrix in Coffea spp. It is one of the most dangerous phytopathogens for coffee plantations in terms of coffee productivity and coffee cup quality. In this review, we resume the problem of CLR in Mexico and the pathogenesis of H. vastatrix. The review abord plant-pathogen interactions which lead a compatible or incompatible interactions and result in CLR disease or resistance, respectively. The review abord Coffea spp. defense response pathways involved in H. vastatrix pathogenicity. Additionally, current measures to control H. vastatrix proliferation and germination were aborded focused on phytosanitary actions, and biological More >

    Photosynthetic Gas Exchange and Nitrogen Assimilation in Green Bean Plants Supplied with Two Sources of Silicon

    Julio C. Anchondo-Páez, Esteban Sánchez*, Carlos A. Ramírez-Estrada, Alondra Salcido-Martínez, Erick H. Ochoa-Chaparro

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.5, pp. 963-980, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.048742 - 28 May 2024

    Abstract Beans contain a wide range of vitamins, proteins, calcium, and zinc which make them an important food source for many countries. To meet the demand for bean production worldwide, large amounts of fertilizers and pesticides are used. However, the cost of production and environmental impact increases. To produce food sustainably, the use of beneficial nutrients such as silicon as a biostimulant has been proposed. However, information about the effect of different sources of silicon on the metabolism of bean plants is scarce. Bean plants cv. Strike were grown in pots for 60 days and the… More >
