Five advanced breeding lines of sweet potato were assessed for polyethylene glycol (PEG)-6000-mediated osmotic stress tolerance in vitro . Significant variation among the morphophysiological properties and antioxidative enzyme activities was observed under different levels of PEG (0, 0.1, and 0.2 MPa) incorporated in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. An induction of antioxidative enzymes—superoxide dismutase (SOD, Enzyme Commission [EC] 1.15.1.1), catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6), ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.1), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX, EC 1.11.1.7), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR, EC 1.6.5.4), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR, EC 1.8.5.1), glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO, EC 1.14.18.1)—was observed under stress compared to the control, and this induction was pronounced in the tolerant genotypes than in the susceptible ones. Among the antioxidant enzymes, CAT showed a strong positive correlation with GPX (Pearson’s correlation coefficient [ r ] = 0.73), whereas MDHAR was strongly and positively correlated with APX ( r = 0.73) and PPO ( r = 0.68). A significant increase in antioxidative enzyme activities was associated with lower growth retardation, as evident from the correlation study. Genotypes SP–30, followed by SP–18, possessed high principal component (PC1) scores and were rich in antioxidative enzymes, whereas genotypes SP–24, SP–26, and SP–28 exhibited lower enzyme activities and skewed morphological traits. The overall pattern of osmotic stress tolerance among the tested advanced sweet potato breeding lines followed the order: SP–30 > SP–18 > SP–26 > SP–24 > SP–28. The outcome of the study encourages the advancement of SP–30 for inclusion in future breeding strategies and/or its release following the official variety release procedures.

Salinity stress hinders the production and productivity of sweet potato worldwide. Stringent selection under in vitro salinity conditions would be a nebulous approach to developing stress-tolerant lines. Eight pre-breeding sweet potato genotypes, SP-12, SP-13, SP-23, SP-27, SP-33, SP-42, SP-44, and SP-45, selected from a broad genetic base of 380 germplasms, were evaluated under NaCl-mediated salinity stress conditions using nodal cultures in vitro . Sweet potato nodal cultures were raised in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with different levels of salinity (0, 50, and 100 mM). The morphological, physiological, and antioxidative enzyme activities under control conditions and salinity stress were assessed. Shoot and root organogenesis under the NaCl-induced MS medium (100 mM) were consistent in genotype SP-13. The antioxidative enzymes increased significantly [0.1-fold in catalase (CAT) to 2.7-fold in ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and guaiacol peroxidase (GPX)] with increasing salinity stress conditions compared to the control across the genotypes. Genotypes SP-13, SP-12, and SP-42 exhibited a higher stress tolerance index (STI) for antioxidative enzymes (AOEs). Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) matrix revealed a strong integration among the growth parameters and AOEs. Among the antioxidative enzymes, APX (r = 0.74) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR; r = 0.60) showed strong and positive correlations with glutathione reductase (GR). Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) exhibited a strong negative correlation with shoot parameters, including shoot length (r = −0.74) and shoot number (r = −0.71), indicating its association with shoot retardation. Principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering indicated that genotype SP-13, followed by genotypes SP-12 and SP-42, is closely related to higher growth performances and better antioxidative enzyme mechanisms. Overall, SP-13, SP-12, and SP-42 performed well, maintaining plantlet growth and AOE properties. The results encourage the rapid screening of the more extensive pre-breeding populations to streamline breeding strategies and develop salinity-tolerant plants.

Honeybee colonies are increasingly threatened by nutritional scarcity and biotic stressors, underscoring the need to understand the role of gut microbiota in mitigating these challenges. This study examined the gut microbial composition of Apis cerana indica under two dietary regimes: sucrose–fed and sucrose–unfed, to assess how nutrition influences microbial diversity and metabolic potential following metagenomics. Metagenomic sequencing of gut samples revealed 147,146 contigs, with the longest and shortest contigs measuring 615,154 kb and 200 kb, respectively. Comparative analysis indicated a higher relative abundance of Bacillus spp. in sucrose–fed bees, whereas Enterococcus was more dominant in unfed populations. Sucrose feeding significantly enhanced gut microbial diversity (Shannon index: 2.59; Simpson’s index: 0.87) compared to unfed bees (Shannon: 1.91; Simpson: 0.68). Key genera, including Gilliamella , Bacillus , and Lactobacillus , were consistently present but showed varying relative abundances. Functional annotation via KEGG pathway analysis revealed elevated activity of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway in sucrose-fed bees, with exclusive detection of key metabolic enzymes, hexokinase and enolase. Additionally, elevated sucrose metabolism and proteolytic enzyme activity were noted, reflecting enhanced metabolic versatility. Our findings highlight the importance of sucrose dietary supplementation in shaping gut microbial structure and function, their diversity, and metabolic capacity, suggesting its potential as a practical nutritional intervention to sustain honeybee health during a period of floral dearth. The outcome of the study encourages exploring the long–term ecological and physiological impacts of dietary strategies on colony resilience and productivity.

Radiochimica Acta, 2024
The aim of this research is to assess the effectiveness of gamma irradiation in developing genetic variability in dragon fruit by influencing biochemical attributes. Seeds of dragon fruit were exposed to 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 Gy γ-radiation using Co-60 source. Highest germinability, mean germination time, mean daily germination, vigour index and growth rate were observed in untreated seeds, however these traits were relatively less affected at lower irradiation level (up to 200 Gy). An irradiation level of ≥ 400 Gy severely affected germination traits and seedling growth and consequently 441 Gy irradiation level was considered as the lethal dose (LD50) for dragon fruit. Photosynthetic pigments, protein content and nutrient content were highest in untreated seedlings and moderately high up to 200 Gy. Findings demonstrated that the concentration of biochemical markers for abiotic stress tolerance viz. proline, phenol, flavonoid and antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase), were significantly high at 200 Gy irradiation level. Hence an irradiation dose of 200 Gy may be considered as an optimal for induced mutagenesis for abiotic stress tolerance in dragon fruit with the least possible unintended damage to seedling growth traits. The findings provide valuable insights into the efficient utilization of γ-irradiation in expediting the development of abiotic stress-tolerant mutant lines of dragon fruit.
