To date, tomato aspermy virus (TAV)-infected disease has led to a severe decrease in flower production. Herein, we report a combinatory protocol to produce TAV-free HH plants for flower production. Stem segments were collected from field-grown TAV-infected plants (YD5), and surface-sterilized for micropropagation. Adventitious shoots were induced and then rooted to obtain plantlets, from which shoot apexes (SAs) were used to test KT concentrations. SA culture (SAC) and SAC combination with heat treatment (HT) were conducted to remove TAV. RT-PCR was completed to specifically amplify TAV to identify virus-free plants. The results showed that the KT concentration was optimized to be 0.03 mg/L for both micropropagation and less vitrification. SAC-HT of 38 °C/30 °C for six weeks could get 80 % TAV-free plants, from which a strain YD5J6 was selected for continuous 3-generations’ field practice. The results showed that YD5J6’s heights, crown sizes, flower capita and production, and flower yields per acre were significantly increased. The contents of chlorophyll and carotenoids and the activities of NR and GS were dramatically increased in YD5J6 leaves. Crude enzyme assays revealed that the activities of PAL, C4H, and 4CL extracts from YD5J6 flowers were enhanced. Chlorogenic acid, luteoloside, and 3, 5-dicaffeoylquinic acid contents were augmented in YD5J6 flowers. Taken together, TAV-free elite YD5J6 was developed for the high production of flowers for TCM.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"232 ","pages":"Article 121311"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144237830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional chemical fungicides, while effective, raise environmental and health concerns, prompting the search for safer alternatives. This study explores the use of plant-derived essential oils (EOs) and copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) as environmentally friendly solutions for fungal disease management. Peppermint (<em>Mentha piperita</em> L.) and tarragon (<em>Artemisia dracunculus</em> L.) EOs were evaluated for their antifungal properties, both alone and when encapsulated in Cu-NPs, across a wide range of concentrations (60–800 ppm). The results demonstrated that peppermint and tarragon EOs exhibited significant antifungal activity, with up to 80 % inhibition of <em>F. oxysporum</em> mycelial growth at 360 ppm and 720 ppm by day 3, although their efficacy declined to 69–73 % by day 12. Cu-NPs alone exhibited consistent and high antifungal activity, achieving 75.3 % and 86.3 % inhibition at 420 ppm and 840 ppm, respectively, by day 3, with sustained and near-complete inhibition maintained through day 12. Encapsulation of EOs in Cu-NPs markedly enhanced their antifungal performance and stability, with encapsulated peppermint EO achieving 100 % inhibition at 800 ppm, and encapsulated tarragon EO requiring only 400 ppm to reach the same level of inhibition by day 3. Both retained high inhibition levels through day 12. Morphological analyses revealed pronounced structural damage in <em>F. oxysporum</em> mycelium treated with Cu-NPs and EO–Cu NP formulations, confirming enhanced antifungal action. This comparative evaluation of unencapsulated versus encapsulated treatments at matched concentrations highlights the synergistic potential of EO–Cu NP systems.
