In this study, we assessed the suitability of sheep manure-based compost as a potential substrate to either partially or complete replace commercial peat in the production of lettuce (<i>Lactuca sativa</i> L.) seedlings. Methods: Five different substrate treatments were used: 100% peat (100% P) served as the control; 100% compost (100% C); 25% C/75% P; 50% C/50% P; and 75% C/25% P. The study followed a completely randomized design, with sixteen replications for each treatment level. Various parameters, including seedling emergence, seedling survival, seedling growth, seedling vigor index, Dickson’s quality index, among other variables, were analyzed. Results: Seedling emergence ranged from 87.5 to 100%, with no significant differences among the substrate treatments, suggesting that seedling emergence and initial establishment can be successfully achieved in sheep manure-based compost. For seedling growth, sheep manure-based compost, whether used alone or in combination with peat, also resulted in similar or even better outcomes as compared to the control. For example, in the 100% compost treatment, seedlings exhibited comparable diameter growth and total seedling biomass to those of the control, or 100% peat. However, seedling height was 7.6% greater in the 100% compost substrate when compared to the control, demonstrating the potential growth-promoting effects of utilizing sheep manure-based compost as a growing medium. Conclusions: During our study we found that the quality of seedlings produced in all tested substrates was similar to that of the control. Therefore, as a compost, sheep manure, a locally and widely available resource, shows promise as a viable nursery substrate, potentially entirely replacing the expensive, non-renewable, and environmentally sensitive peat currently being used in nurseries for producing lettuce seedlings.</p>","PeriodicalId":17042,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141568417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aims to delve into the growth regulatory mechanisms of <i>C. sinensis</i> in understory mode and the impact of the environment on its growth efficiency and bioactive compound synthesis. Through physiological measurements, transcriptomics, metagenomics, and machine vision analysis, a systematic investigation of <i>C. sinensis</i> characteristics in different environments was conducted.

Concurrently, metagenomic analysis of soil microbial communities revealed the environmental effects on microbial diversity. <i>C. sinensis</i> in understory mode exhibited higher stomatal density and smaller pore sizes under low light and humidity conditions; phenolic and flavonoid compounds were identified as the main regulatory pathways, with enhanced expression of key genes such as <i>Dihydroflavonol-4-Reductase</i> (<i>DFR</i>), <i>Anthocyanidin Reductase</i> (<i>ANR</i>), and <i>Leucoanthocyanidin Reductase</i> (<i>LAR</i>), which promoted the synthesis of tea polyphenols and lignin, the abundance of Acidobacteria might be related to the growth of <i>C. sinensis</i> in understory mode. Furthermore, machine vision models indicated that <i>C. sinensis</i> displayed higher growth efficiency in the understory mode environment. This research discovered the characteristics of <i>C. sinensis</i> in understory mode and elucidated its growth efficiency in understory mode by modulating phenolic and flavonoid metabolism key genes and promoting the accumulation of secondary metabolites.

Methods: The experiment involved growing the cultivars in pots and applying Zn through different methods: control, seed priming with distilled water and 6 mM ZnSO₄ solution, soil application at 0 and 8 mg Zn kg⁻¹, foliar sprays of distilled water and 0.05% Zn (w/v) at booting and heading, and all combinations of these application methods.

Results: Zinc application significantly increased chlorophyll and carotenoid contents, and dry matter yields. Moreover, there was an increase in Zn and phosphorus (P) concentrations in grains, along with a rise in the estimated dietary intake (EDI) of Zn. This was associated with a simultaneous decrease in As concentrations in various plant parts, including grains, and a decrease in the EDI of As. The most significant increase in grain yield and grain Zn accumulation, coupled with the most notable decrease in grain As concentration, was observed with the combined application of Zn through seed priming, soil application, and foliar spray.

We investigated the effects of different drought regimes (controlled, medium-drought (MD), and severe-drought (SD)] and nitrogen (N; with or without) addition on biomass and physio-biochemical responses in <i>Alhagi sparsifolia</i> seedlings. Both drought stresses significantly increased superoxide dismutase (O₂^•−), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), malondialdehyde, and oxidized-glutathione in leaves and roots, thereby impairing growth and metabolism. Furthermore, there is a significant accumulation of fructose and glucose, but lower sucrose and starch, possibly due to higher sucrose synthase, α-amylase, β-amylase and hexokinase but lower sucrose phosphate synthase and fructokinase. Drought-stressed seedlings also displayed higher abscisic and, jasmonic acids, strigolactones, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, O₂^•−-H₂O₂-scavenging enzymes, but lower gibberellin, cytokinin, and indole-acetic acid.
