S<em>alvia plebeia</em> R.Br. (<em>S. plebeia</em>), a flavonoid-rich medicinal species with considerable potential as a high-value industrial crop for bioactive ingredient production, was used to investigate the effects of polystyrene NPs (PS NPs) on plant growth, secondary metabolism, and rhizosphere regulation. Confocal imaging revealed treatment-associated fluorescence in root and leaf tissues, suggesting the potential uptake and root-to-shoot translocation of fluorescently labeled PS NPs. PS NP exposure significantly inhibited plant growth and photosynthetic performance, with pronounced reductions in leaf biomass, leaf area, and net photosynthetic rate under high exposure levels. In contrast, moderate exposure (100 mg/kg) stimulated secondary metabolism, increasing total flavonoids by 46.3% and enhancing the accumulation of homoplantaginin, hispidulin, and nepetin. Antioxidant enzymes exhibited a hormetic response, with activation at low NPs concentrations (&lt; 100 mg/kg) and inhibition under severe stress. Synchrotron radiation FTIR imaging revealed pronounced redistribution of organic functional groups across the root-rhizosphere interface. Rhizosphere bacterial communities were also significantly restructured (R² = 0.535, <em>P</em> = 0.006), demonstrating close association with antioxidant responses and flavonoid-related gene expression. This study reveals a multi-scale mechanism linking PS NP exposure with plant physiology, rhizosphere processes, and flavonoid biosynthesis, providing new insight into environmental regulation of medicinal quality and supporting the sustainable cultivation and industrial utilization of flavonoid-rich <em>S. plebeia</em>.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"252 ","pages":"Article 124522"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149090494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have already shown that pomegranate preparations can extend <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em> lifespan and engage DAF-16/SKN-1-related stress responses. Here, we chemically characterized the specific crude pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) used in our assays and examined whether a defined 24-h exposure beginning at the L4 stage produced biological effects that persisted after PFE withdrawal. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) quantified 15 carbohydrate-related constituents, while UPLC-Q Exactive Orbitrap-MS provided putative annotations for 18 phenolic and related constituents. Three independent wild-type lifespan experiments showed reproducible survival extension after the 24-h pulse. PFE also reduced reactive oxygen species and lipofuscin, increased antioxidant-enzyme activities, promoted DAF-16 and SKN-1 nuclear localization, and altered expression of <em>daf-2</em>, <em>daf-16</em>, <em>sod-3</em>, <em>gst-4</em>, <em>skn-1</em>, and <em>gcs-1</em>. PFE did not increase mean lifespan in <em>daf-16</em>(mgDf50) or <em>skn-1</em>(zu67) single mutants. In an additional IIS genetic assay, 100 mg/L PFE did not further extend the lifespan of the long-lived <em>daf-2</em>(e1370) mutant, consistent with a non-additive effect and convergence on reduced DAF-2/IIS signaling. RNA-seq identified 941 differentially expressed genes enriched in spliceosome-, mTOR-, neuroactive ligand-, and longevity-related categories. Network pharmacology identified candidate compound-target associations involving aging- and oxidative-stress-related signaling pathways, while molecular docking yielded binding energies ranging from −2.60 to −5.19 kcal/mol, indicating modest predicted interactions between selected PFE-derived compounds and DAF-16, SKN-1, or AKT-1.

CDs were prepared through a hydrothermal route from agricultural waste (coconut husk), followed by lyophilisation, and doped into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix. The formation of CDs was confirmed with XPS, TEM, FTIR, and UV- Visible analysis. To further strengthen the system, Na₂C₂ was synthesised by thermal degradation of MCC derived from cotton and treated with sodium borohydride (NaBH₄). XRD, FTIR, FESEM, EDX and XPS of the samples confirmed the desired compound formation. A progressive series of composite matrices, CD/PVA, CD/PVA/CA and CD/PVA/CA/Na₂C_2, was successfully fabricated under optimised electrospinning parameters. To overcome the intrinsic hydrophilicity of PVA and achieve strong solid-solid interfacial adhesion, a natural bio-surfactant resin from <em>Macaranga peltata</em> was used as a substrate primer and crosslinking agent on the MSsurface to improve interfacial adhesion in the application of an anticorrosive coating for an acidic environment (0.5 M H₂SO₄). To counteract the inherent hydrophilicity of PVA, CD and resin matrix were added. Moreover, the mechanical strength of these coatings was enhanced by the addition of CA and Na₂C₂. The coated samples were characterised for thermal stability under TGA analysis, FESEM and XRD analysis. The interfacial modification, together with the dispersed CD phase, synergistically enhanced the corrosion resistance and provided a stable coating composite with multifunctional reinforcement, which significantly improved the mechanical durability and sensory response of the final composite. Tafel polarisation, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) studies were employed to evaluate corrosion inhibition. In addition, the corrosion sensing ability of the coating was primarily evaluated using coating response in a UV chamber, with the presence of Fe³⁺, which can hence be a future scope as solid-state luminescence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"252 ","pages":"Article 124407"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149141733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-seq), we detected the whole-genome binding sites of RcABI3, RcFUS3, and RcLEC2, identifying 775 potential target genes including 62 lipid-related genes. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) revealed distinct <em>cis</em>-regulatory element preferences: RcFUS3 bound canonical RY motifs (5′-CATGCA-3′), RcLEC2 recognized RY-like motifs (5′-CATGNNCATGCA-3′), and RcABI3 targeted a novel AGCAATGA motif. Yeast one-hybrid and luciferase reporter assays validated direct binding and transcriptional activation of key lipid-related genes by RcFUS3, including a gene encoding FAH12 critical for ricinoleic acid synthesis. Furthermore, RcFUS3 directly activated the expression of RcWRI1, a master regulator of oil biosynthesis, establishing a hierarchical regulatory loop that amplifies the lipid biosynthesis pathway. Importantly, transient overexpression of <em>RcFUS3</em> in castor bean cotyledon protoplasts significantly increased TAG content, and ChIP-qPCR confirmed that RcFUS3 directly binds to the RY motifs in the promoters of <em>Oleosin2</em>, <em>PDAT2</em>, and <em>RcWRI1</em> in vivo.

Rubber particles coexist with proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, mineral ions, enzymes, and microorganisms; changes in the serum phase and particle interface can therefore affect storage stability, processing behavior, and product performance. This review examines relationships among microbial activity, acid formation, interfacial stabilization, and processing compatibility, using ammonia-preserved latex as the reference system. Conventional, low-ammonia, and ammonia-free strategies are compared separately for field latex, latex concentrates, and compounded or pre-vulcanized latex. Representative published data are evaluated according to formulation, dosage basis, observation period, and level of validation, rather than being treated as directly comparable rankings. Experimentally supported relationships are distinguished from the authors’ conceptual integration of these relationships. Organic, biobased, nano-enabled, and acidic systems have been investigated at different levels of experimental and application-specific validation; however, storage stability or ammonia removal alone does not demonstrate industrial readiness or environmental superiority. Particular attention is given to preservative residues, wastewater compatibility, standard-method applicability, and the distinction between laboratory processing tests, reported production use, and comprehensive industrial qualification. An incremental cost–benefit framework and a milestone-based validation pathway are proposed to connect preservation research with practical adoption. Key priorities include quantitative microbial–interfacial relationships, preservative partitioning, reproducible process performance, and application-specific safety and environmental assessment. Successful alternatives should therefore be evaluated against these combined requirements rather than preservation time alone.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"252 ","pages":"Article 124577"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149210668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
