These roots are vital for plant survival and are crucial for the clonal reproduction of valuable horticultural and forestry species. Despite their significance, ARs remain poorly understood. Research has shown that AR initiation and growth involve combined effects of genetic factors, growth regulators, and environmental stimuli. Cellular and molecular investigations have identified three key requirements for a cell to become an AR progenitor: it must be situated next to vascular tissue, exhibit high transcriptional activity, and undergo a redetermination of cell fate towards AR competency. The development of ARs is largely controlled by the interplay between auxins and other plant growth regulators (PGRs), such as cytokinins, ethylene, and jasmonates. Notably, the establishment of auxin concentration gradients through directional flow is essential for activating cellular processes necessary for AR formation. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of auxin-responsive genes, AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs) and AUXIN/INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID REPRESSORs (Aux/IAAs) that play crucial roles in mediating AR initiation and emergence. Nevertheless, complex interactions between auxins and other PGRs remain the most enigmatic aspect of AR development. This review highlights the multifaceted roles of auxin and other PGRs in AR initiation and development, including biosynthesis, polar auxin transport, and regulation at the transcriptional, proteomic, and metabolomic levels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38090,"journal":{"name":"Current Plant Biology","volume":"40 ","pages":"Article 100385"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142526923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Morphine, codeine, thebaine, noscapine, papaverine, and sanguinarine are the most well-known BIAs. The biosynthesis of BIAs is limited to organized tissues, and because the content of BIAs in these tissues is relatively low, the use of differentiated organ culture, hairy root culture, is drown much more attention. Interestingly, the biosynthetic capacity of the hairy root culture is higher than that of native plants, making them an appropriate platform for <em>in vitro</em> BIA production. One of the most attractive options for improving BIAs accumulation in hairy roots for both modest and massive production is to adopt biotechnological strategies. Regarding the latter, however, the bioreactor-based production of plant bioactive compounds is preceded by optimization of some factors related to machinery and culture medium.

In this study, we conducted an in-depth analysis of 1669 literary works to investigate the potential of developmental regulators (DRs) in enhancing the efficiency of plant genetic transformation, with a concentration on their use in maize. Through multi-omics data analysis, we identified 12 homologous DRs from various species that are potentially applicable to maize. We identified a total of 41 possible disease resistances (DRs) for maize genetic transformation. Further experimental verification of ZmWIND1, a novel regulator belonging to the ERF/AP2 transcription factor (TF) family, showed that it significantly improved the efficiency of plant regeneration and transformation efficiency in maize.

The burden of biotic stresses pose serious threat to crop productivity, therefore, early and accurate detection of plant diseases is essential. Conventional methods exclusively rely on human expertise, and are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to errors. Recent advancements in machine learning (ML) offer promising alternatives by automating the disease detection processes with high precision and efficiency. We comprehensively analyze various ML techniques, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Random Forest (RF), and Deep Learning Architectures like ResNet and Inception, among others, highlighting their methodologies, datasets, performance metrics, and real-world applications. This systematic review provides a comprehensive analysis after text mining the most recent literature resources of the last half a decade. The review discusses the proposed models, techniques, accuracy, feature selection, extraction methods, the types of datasets used to perform experiments, and the sources of the datasets. Additionally, this review provides critical analyses of existing models in the context of their limitations and gaps. Our findings suggest that while ML based methods demonstrate substantial potential for enhancing agricultural disease management, there is a urgent need for more robust, scalable, and adaptable solutions to address diverse agricultural conditions and disease complexities. By systematically analyzing the extracted data, this review aspires to provide a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to develop and implement ML-based systems for crop disease detection, thereby contributing to sustainable agriculture and enhancing food security.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":38090,"journal":{"name":"Current Plant Biology","volume":"40 ","pages":"Article 100382"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214662824000641/pdfft?md5=7d819a442658104589bfe010c6d1c477&pid=1-s2.0-S2214662824000641-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142088788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
