Lopes IG, Wiklicky V, Vinnerås B, Yong JWH, Lalander C. Recirculating frass from food waste bioconversion using black soldier fly larvae: Impacts on process efficiency and product quality. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 366:121869. [PMID: 39029172 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
Biowaste generation is increasing worldwide and inadequate disposal has strong negative impacts on food systems and ecosystems. Biodigestion of biowaste using black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL) generates valuable by-products such as animal feed (larval biomass) and organic fertiliser (frass). However, the latter is typically unstable immediately after waste conversion and is thus unsafe for use as a fertilizer in terms of maturity. This study evaluated recirculation of frass within bioconversion of post-consumer food waste (FW) as a dietary component for BSFL to improve the quality of the subsequent frass obtained. Frass was introduced at increasing inclusion levels replacing food waste (2.5-100% on wet-weight basis) as part of the larvae's feeding substrate. Bioconversion efficiency and material reduction were significantly reduced by frass inclusion, while larval yield per experimental unit remained unchanged. When considering only the waste component in the larval diet, larval yield (dry-weight basis) ranged between 207 (0% frass inclusion) and 403 (40% frass inclusion) kg tonne FW-1, thus increasing by up to 94% at higher frass inclusion. With increasing dietary inclusion rate of frass from 0% to 100%, crude protein content of larval biomass increased by 41%, while fat content was reduced by 32%. The recirculated frass (obtained after including frass in the larval diet) had elevated concentrations of P, K, S, Na and B and around 6% lower organic matter content, demonstrating a higher degree of decomposition. Frass inclusion in the larval diet generated recirculated frass that were more stable and mature, as indicated by self-heating capacity, CO2 and NH3 volatilisation, seed germination bioassays and other parameters. It was concluded that frass recirculation improves waste bioconversion efficiency in relation to food waste unit, as well as larval biomass and frass quality, ensuring safer use as a fertilizer.

Next generation plant biostimulants & genome sequencing strategies for sustainable agriculture development. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1439561. [PMID: 39104588 PMCID: PMC11299335 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1439561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024] Open
Abstract
The best environment for plant growth and development contains certain essential metabolites. A broad category of metabolites known as "plant biostimulants" (PBs) includes biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and other secondary metabolites related to groups of terpenes, specific nitrogen-containing compounds, and benzene ring-conjugated compounds. The formation of biomolecules depends on both biotic and abiotic factors, such as the release of PB by plants, animals, and microorganisms, or it can result from the control of temperature, humidity, and pressure in the atmosphere, in the case of humic substances (HSs). Understanding the genomic outputs of the concerned organism (may be plants or others than them) becomes crucial for identifying the underlying behaviors that lead to the synthesis of these complex compounds. For the purposes of achieving the objectives of sustainable agriculture, detailed research on PBs is essential because they aid in increasing yield and other growth patterns of agro-economic crops. The regulation of homeostasis in the plant-soil-microbe system for the survival of humans and other animals is mediated by the action of plant biostimulants, as considered essential for the growth of plants. The genomic size and gene operons for functional and regulation control have so far been revealed through technological implementations, but important gene annotations are still lacking, causing a delay in revealing the information. Next-generation sequencing techniques, such as nanopore, nanoball, and Illumina, are essential in troubleshooting the information gaps. These technical advancements have greatly expanded the candidate gene openings. The secondary metabolites being important precursors need to be studied in a much wider scale for accurate calculations of biochemical reactions, taking place inside and outside the synthesized living cell. The present review highlights the sequencing techniques to provide a foundation of opportunity generation for agricultural sustainability.

Abstract
Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is a valuable Chinese herb with high medicinal value. Saffron pistils are used as medicine, so increasing the number of flowers can increase the yield. Plant hormones have essential roles in the growth and development of saffron, as well as the response to biotic and abiotic stresses (especially in floral initiation), which may directly affect the number of flowers. Quantitative analysis of plant hormones provides a basis for more efficient research on their synthesis, transportation, metabolism, and action. However, starch (which interferes with extraction) is present in high levels, and hormone levels are extremely low, in saffron corms, thereby hampering accurate determination of plant-hormone levels in saffron. Herein, we screened an efficient and convenient pre-treatment method for plant materials containing abundant amounts of starch. Also, we proposed an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the quantification of abscisic acid (ABA) and auxin (IAA). Then, the method was applied for the detection of hormone-content differences between flowering and non-flowering top buds, as well as between lateral and top buds. Our method showed high sensitivity, reproducibility, and reliability. Specifically, good linearity in the range 2-100 ng ml-1 was achieved in the determination of ABA and IAA, and the correlation coefficient (R2) was >0.9982. The relative standard deviation was 2.956-14.51% (intraday) and 9.57-18.99% (interday), and the recovery range was 89.04-101.1% (n = 9). The matrix effect was 80.38-90.50% (n = 3). The method was thoroughly assessed employing various "green" chemistry evaluation tools: Blue Applicability Grade Index (BAGI), Complementary Green Analytical Procedure Index (Complex GAPI) and Red Green Blue 12 Algorithm (RGB12). These tools revealed the good greenness, analytical performance, applicability, and overall sustainability alignment of our method. Quantitative results showed that, compared with saffron with a flowering phenotype cultivated at 25 °C, the contents of IAA and ABA in the terminal buds of saffron cultivated at 16 °C decreased significantly. When cultivated at 25 °C, the IAA and ABA contents in the terminal buds of saffron were 1.54- and 4.84-times higher than those in the lateral buds, respectively. A simple, rapid, and accurate UPLC-MS/MS method was established to determine IAA and ABA contents. Using this method, a connection between the contents of IAA and ABA and the flowering phenotype was observed in the quantification results. Our data lay a foundation for studying the flowering mechanism of saffron.

Abstract
Food waste is a potential resource to prepare microbial fertilizer. However, functional microorganisms derived from the food waste compost (FWC) are relatively lacking. We have isolated, identified, characterized and optimized a high-yielding indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) strain from FWC and further evaluated its growth promoting effect on plants. A IAA high-yielding strain, Providencia sp.Y, with an initial IAA yield of 139.98 mg L-1, was obtained through high-throughput screening, and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence. The novel strain Y may simultaneously involve the following three pathways from L-tryptophan to IAA, which were identified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry: (1) L-tryptophan-indole-3-ethanol-indole-3-acetaldehyde-indole-3-acetic acid; (2) L-tryptophan-1-hydroxy-indole-3-ethanol-indole-3-acetic acid; (3) L-tryptophan-indole-3-acetamide-indole-3-acetic acid. The most suitable comprehensive conditions for IAA production, which were optimized by single factor experiment, were: culture time 12 h, inoculation amount 2% (v/v), NaCl concentration 4% (w/v), culture temperature 25℃, initial pH = 5, and L-tryptophan concentration 3.0 g L-1. The yield of IAA after optimization was increased by 590.48%, from 139.98 mg L-1 (before optimization) to 966.54 mg L-1. Diluted 200-fold microbial suspension could significantly improve the growth of pakchoi seedlings. The seedling plant height, root length, leaf width, leaf length, and fresh weight with microbial suspension increased by 17.39%, 107.35%, 77.98%, 37.75%, and 215.38%, respectively, compared with those without microbial suspension. The increase was greater than that of commercial bacterial agents. In conclusion, this isolated strain can be used as an economical microbial inoculant and provides a new germplasm resource for developing microbial fertilizers.

Abstract
In Egypt, sunflower charcoal-rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina and maize late-wilt caused by Magnaporthiopsis maydis are the most prevalent, and can lead to huge yield losses of both crops under epidemic conditions. In this study, the potential use of vermitea and wood vinegar for management of both diseases was investigated. Data revealed that, among the 17 bacterial strains obtained from vermitea, three strains named VCB-2, VCB-7 and VCB-11 were chosen for having the greatest in vitro inhibitory effect against M. phaseolina and M. maydis, with fungal inhibition values of 54.2; 61.7, 65.2; 74.0 and 57.1; 87.0% against both pathogens, respectively. These strains were identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Serratia marcescens and Bacillus velezensis, respectively. Wood vinegar significantly reduced the colony diameter of M. phaseolina and M. maydis in in vitro trials conducted on potato dextrose agar medium amended with the desired concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5%. The efficiency increased with increasing wood vinegar concentration, and 2.0% was the most effective (100% suppression). Data from greenhouse experiments showed that the application of vermitea or wood vinegar tended to decrease the incidence (% dead plants) of sunflower charcoal-rot (by 61.1 and 66.7%) and maize late-wilt (by 70.6%). These treatments had positive impacts on the plant growth parameters, photosynthetic pigments and antioxidative enzymes of sunflower and maize plants. Data from field experiments showed that the application of vermitea or wood vinegar decreased the incidence of charcoal-rot (by 72.8 and 72.0%) and late-wilt (by 88.7 and 87.0%) as well as increased the production sunflower and maize plants.

Abstract
In recent years, enormous amounts of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) have been generated because of the rapid development of mushroom production. Since the conventional disposal methods of these residues can cause serious environmental problems, alternative waste management techniques are required to ensure sustainable agriculture. However, SMS might be not suitable for vermicomposting when used alone. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Azolla microphylla (Azolla) biomass, eggshells, fruit peels, and cassava pulp on the biodegradation process of SMS. The results showed the treatments supplemented with cassava pulp and fruit peel waste improved the growth of earthworms, while the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of these vermicomposts decreased significantly (p < 0.05) due to the improved total nitrogen contents (7.64 g kg-1 and 6.71 g kg-1). Concerning the degradation process and the vermicompost quality, the addition of these agro-residues facilitated the enzyme activities (cellulase, urease, and alkaline phosphatase) and increased the total macronutrient (P, K, Mg, and Ca) and phytohormone (fruit peel waste: AA, GA3, and cytokinin; cassava pulp: cytokinin) contents of the final products compared to the control treatment. On the other hand, Azolla had no additional effect on the fecundity and growth of Eudrilus eugenia. Meanwhile, the treatment supplemented with eggshells was high in Mg (7.15 g kg-1) and Ca (305.6 g kg-1). Overall, the combined decomposition of SMS-based bedding material with Azolla, eggshells, fruit peel waste, and cassava pulp resulted in mature organic fertilizers with improved chemical properties.

Abstract
Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) equipped with a corona discharge (CD) ion source was used for measurement of three auxin plant hormones including indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). The measurements were performed in both positive and negative polarities of the CD ion source. Dopant gases NH3, CCl4, and CHBr3 were used to modify the ionization mechanism. A time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOFMS) orthogonal to the IMS cell was used for identification of the product ions. Density functional theory was used to rationalize formation of the ions, theoretically. The mixtures of the auxins were analyzed by CD-IMS. The separation performance depended on the ion polarity and the dopants. In the positive polarity without dopants, auxins were ionized via protonation and three distinguished peaks were observed. Application of NH3 dopant resulted in two ionization channels, protonation, and NH4+ attachment leading to peak overlapping. In the negative polarity, two ionization reactions were operative, via deprotonation and O2- attachment. The separation of the monomer peaks was not achieved while the peaks of anionic dimers [2 M-H]- were separated well. The best LOD (4 ng) was obtained in negative polarity with CCl4 dopant. Methylation (esterification) of IAA improved LODs by about one order.

Abstract
Biocides, which are found in nature as persistent pollutants, pose a great danger to the ecosystem. Methylisothiazolinone (MIT), a widely used biocide, reaches plants by mixing with water and soil. Vermicompost tea (VCT), which strengthens the plant defence mechanism and increases its growth and development, is a liquid fertiliser consisting of the cooperation of worms with microbes. In the present study, after applying 0.4 g/L (EC50/2), 0.8 g/L (EC50), and 1.6 g/L (EC50 × 2) MIT concentrations without and with VCT on forage pea (Pisum sativum), root lengths, mitotic index data, chromosome and nuclei abnormalities, and DNA damage level were determined. When VCT applied and non-applied groups were compared, it was found that, especially in the VCT applied group, they cope with the stress conditions created by MIT. In addition, positive effects were observed in root lengths, mitotic index data, and amount of cell nuclei abnormalities. In line with other study results, VCT reduces cellular damage by regulating the normal life cycle disrupted in the cell due to mutagens using the curative-regulatory feature.

Abstract
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are found in every environmental medium and are chemically diverse. Their presence in water resources can negatively impact the health of both human and wildlife. Currently, there are no mandatory screening mandates or regulations for EDC levels in complex water samples globally. Bioassays, which allow quantifying in vivo or in vitro biological effects of chemicals are used commonly to assess acute toxicity in water. The existing OECD framework to identify single-compound EDCs offers a set of bioassays that are validated for the Estrogen-, Androgen-, and Thyroid hormones, and for Steroidogenesis pathways (EATS). In this review, we discussed bioassays that could be potentially used to screen EDCs in water resources, including in vivo and in vitro bioassays using invertebrates, fish, amphibians, and/or mammalians species. Strengths and weaknesses of samples preparation for complex water samples are discussed. We also review how to calculate the Effect-Based Trigger values, which could serve as thresholds to determine if a given water sample poses a risk based on existing quality standards. This work aims to assist governments and regulatory agencies in developing a testing strategy towards regulation of EDCs in water resources worldwide. The main recommendations include 1) opting for internationally validated cell reporter in vitro bioassays to reduce animal use & cost; 2) testing for cell viability (a critical parameter) when using in vitro bioassays; and 3) evaluating the recovery of the water sample preparation method selected. This review also highlights future research avenues for the EDC screening revolution (e.g., 3D tissue culture, transgenic animals, OMICs, and Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs)).

[PMID: 35053039 PMCID: PMC8773105 DOI: 10.3390/biology11010041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Revised: 12/24/2021] [Accepted: 12/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary Demand for organically grown crops has risen globally due to its healthier and safer food products. From a sustainability perspective, organic farming offers an eco-friendly cultivation system that minimizes agrochemicals and producing food with little or no environmental footprint. However, organic agriculture’s biggest drawback is the generally lower and variable yield in contrast to conventional farming. Compatible with organic farming, the selective use of biostimulants can close the apparent yield gap between organic and conventional cultivation systems. A biostimulant is defined as natural microorganisms (bacteria, fungi) or biologically active substances that are able to improve plant growth and yield through several processes. Biostimulants are derived from a range of natural resources including organic materials (composts, seaweeds), manures (earthworms, fish, insects) and extracts derived from microbes, plant, insect or animal origin. The current trend is indicative that a mixture of biostimulants is generally delivering better growth, yield and quality rather than applying biostimulant individually. When used correctly, biostimulants are known to help plants cope with stressful situations like drought, salinity, extreme temperatures and even certain diseases. More research is needed to understand the different biostimulants, key components, and also to adjust the formulations to improve their reliability in the field. Abstract Demand for organically grown food crops is rising substantially annually owing to their contributions to human health. However, organic farm production is still generally lower compared to conventional farming. Nutrient availability, content consistency, uptake, assimilation, and crop responses to various stresses were reported as critical yield-limiting factors in many organic farming systems. In recent years, plant biostimulants (BSs) have gained much interest from researchers and growers, and with the objective of integrating these products to enhance nutrient use efficiency (NUE), crop performance, and delivering better stress resilience in organic-related farming. This review gave an overview of direct and indirect mechanisms of microbial and non-microbial BSs in enhancing plant nutrient uptake, physiological status, productivity, resilience to various stressors, and soil-microbe-plant interactions. BSs offer a promising, innovative and sustainable strategy to supplement and replace agrochemicals in the near future. With greater mechanistic clarity, designing purposeful combinations of microbial and non-microbial BSs that would interact synergistically and deliver desired outcomes in terms of acceptable yield and high-quality products sustainably will be pivotal. Understanding these mechanisms will improve the next generation of novel and well-characterized BSs, combining microbial and non-microbial BSs strategically with specific desired synergistic bio-stimulatory action, to deliver enhanced plant growth, yield, quality, and resilience consistently in organic-related cultivation.

Abstract
Biostimulants, are a diverse class of compounds including substances or microorganism which have positive impacts on plant growth, yield and chemical composition as well as boosting effects to biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. The major plant biostimulants are hydrolysates of plant or animal protein and other compounds that contain nitrogen, humic substances, extracts of seaweeds, biopolymers, compounds of microbial origin, phosphite, and silicon, among others. The mechanisms involved in the protective effects of biostimulants are varied depending on the compound and/or crop and mostly related with improved physiological processes and plant morphology aspects such as the enhanced root formation and elongation, increased nutrient uptake, improvement in seed germination rates and better crop establishment, increased cation exchange, decreased leaching, detoxification of heavy metals, mechanisms involved in stomatal conductance and plant transpiration or the stimulation of plant immune systems against stressors. The aim of this review was to provide an overview of the application of plant biostimulants on different crops within the framework of sustainable crop management, aiming to gather critical information regarding their positive effects on plant growth and yield, as well as on the quality of the final product. Moreover, the main limitations of such practice as well as the future prospects of biostimulants research will be presented.

Abstract
Global organic waste is increasing, bioconversion of organic waste arises because it can recover valuable nutrients and produce bioactive substances. Betaines are important bioactive substances in plants under environmental stress, but have received limited attention in vermicompost/larvae bioconversion compost. In this study, betaines in organic waste and vermicompost/larvae bioconversion compost were identified and quantified by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. We observed the existence of glutamine betaine in all samples, which was first found in natural sources recently. Valine betaine was the highest among all detected betaines followed by GABA betaine, and both were rare in plants. The existence of tyrosine betaine in cow dung (CD) and vermicompost (CDV) was found, which was previously shown to be in fungi. Most importantly, we found larvae bioconversion could increase betaines by 5.56-99.75%, while vermicomposting decreased them. Bioconversion of larvae can effectively increase betaines in compost and can be used to produce potential novel functional organic fertilizers.

Abstract
This paper reports a selective, sensitive, and miniaturized analytical method based on a molecularly imprinted graphene oxide (MIP-GO) composite as adsorbent for miniaturized tip solid-phase extraction (MTSPE) to determine naphthalene-derived plant growth regulators (PGRs) in apples. The proposed method combines the advantages of MIP-GOs (high selectivity), MTSPE (low consumption), and high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection (high sensitivity). Under optimized conditions, the method exhibited appreciable linearity (2.00-200 ng/g), low detection limits (0.21-0.53 ng/g), high accuracy (absolute recoveries: 87.6-99.5%), and high precision (relative standard deviations ≤ 3.0%), along with low consumption (0.5 mL sample solution and 2.0 mg adsorbent). In addition, the adsorption performance of the MIP-GO adsorbent did not decrease over ten months, highlighting the long storage and operational lifetime of the adsorbent. The proposed method was employed for the analysis of naphthalene-derived PGR residues in apples and exhibited promising potential for application in food safety analysis.

Abstract
Phytohormones are interrelated by synergistic or antagonistic crosstalk and play important roles in the regulation of plant growth and development. In order to understand the interaction between phytohormones in the plant physiological network, it is necessary to determine trace levels of multiple phytohormones simultaneously in a complex matrix. Here, we synthesized ionic liquids containing different functional groups and modified the surface of carbon fibers with them. Based on these carbon fibers-ionic liquid (CFs-IL) materials, a solid phase microextraction method was developed to enable the simultaneous extraction of phytohormones. The adsorption specificity of multiple phytohormones was studied by identifying the hydrophobic, electrostatic, and π-π interactions, as well as hydrogen bonds, which favor simultaneous extraction of the relevant acidic, alkaline and neutral phytohormones by improving compatibility. The proposed method, coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, was applied to the simultaneous determination of 13 acidic, alkaline and neutral phytohormones in tomato. The limits of quantification were found to be in the range of 0.32-54.05 ng mL-1 and 4.6-185.8 pg mL-1, respectively, when measured by QQQ and Q-TOF. All of the relative recoveries were in the range of 94.40-113.37% with RSDs ≤15.36% (n = 3) for spiked tomato samples. This method is expected to be widely applied to multiple phytohormones analysis for in-depth researches concerning the physiological networks of plants.

Abstract
Plant hormones (PHs) are a type of pesticide that can potentially affect human health. Therefore, their quantitative detection is particularly important. In this study, a green and economic method for the simultaneous extraction and determination of four PHs, namely thidiazuron, forchlorfenuron, 1-naphthylacetic acid, and 2-naphthoxyacetic acid, in watermelon juice was developed by using m-aminophenol-urea-glyoxal resin as the adsorbent for pipette tip solid phase extraction (PT-SPE) coupled with liquid chromatography. The resin was synthesized via a simple (one pot hydrothermal synthesis) and green (ethanol as the solvent and glyoxal as crosslinking agent) process. The synthesized resin possesses multiple functional groups (hydroxyl, amino, and imino, among others), high adsorption capacity, larger specific surface area than the urea-glyoxal resin and m-aminophenol-glyoxal resin, and can be regenerated easily. The PT-SPE device is simple, cheap, and easy to obtain, and the adsorbent dosage is only 5.0 mg. The proposed method has a wide linear detection range, high recovery, good precision, and high sensitivity, and satisfies the measurement requirements for detecting trace levels of PHs in fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
A 7-min multifamily residue method for the simultaneous quantification and confirmation of 8 phytohormones and 27 acidic herbicides in fruit and vegetables using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was developed, validated according to SANTE 12682/2019, and accredited according to UNE-EN-ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Due to the special characteristics of these kinds of compounds, a previous step of alkaline hydrolysis was carried out for breaking conjugates that were potentially formed due to the interactions of the analytes with other components present in the matrix. Sample treatment was based on QuEChERS extraction and optimum detection conditions were individually optimized for each analyte. Cucumber (for high water content commodities) and orange (for high acid and high water content samples) were selected as representative matrices. Matrix-matched calibration was used, and all the validation criteria established in the SANTE guidelines were satisfied. Uncertainty estimation for each target compound was included in the validation process. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of more than 450 samples of cucumber, orange, tomato, watermelon, and zucchini during one year. Several compounds, such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 4-(3-indolyl)butyric acid (IBA), dichlorprop (2,4-DP), 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy acetic acid (MCPA), and triclopyr were found, but always at concentrations lower than the maximum residue level (MRL) regulated by the EU.

Abstract
Trace plant hormones play an important role in tea growth, development and quick response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, lack of a sensitive method limits the research on plant hormone regulation for tea quality and yields. Herein, a highly sensitive method was developed using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) for profiling and quantification of 13 acidic phytohormones and their analogues, including auxins, abscisic acid and gibberellins in fresh tea leaves. After optimizing the different C18 columns and mobile phase systematically, an Agilent Eclipse Plus C18 column combined with the mobile phase A (acetonitrile) and B (water) was employed. Target acidic phytohormones were extracted using acidified methanol, and tea matrices were cleaned up by dispersive solid phase adsorbents of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) and graphitized carbon black (GCB) followed by polymer-based mixed-mode cation-exchange solid phase extraction. The method showed good linearity for all 13 analytes with regression coefficients (R2) > 0.998. Satisfactory recoveries of 12 analytes spiked with three levels ranged from 71.8% to 109.9%, while intra-day and inter-day precisions were below 20%. Limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LODs) for 12 acidic phytohormones were 0.1-4.2 μg kg-1 and 0.3-13.9 μg kg-1, respectively. Finally, this method was firstly employed to analyze 13 analytes in fresh tea leaves (with the treatment of dormancy, light qualities, exogenous hormones and infestation of pests), highlighting its sufficient capability for rapid analysis of multiclass phytohormones in agriculture field.

Abstract
Plant hormones are naturally occurring small molecule compounds which are present at trace amounts in plant. They play a pivotal role in the regulation of plant growth. The biological activity of plant hormones depends on their concentrations in the plant, thus, accurate determination of plant hormone is paramount. However, the complex plant matrix, wide polarity range and low concentration of plant hormones are the main hindrances to effective analyses of plant hormone even when state-of-the-art analytical techniques are employed. These factors substantially influence the accuracy of analytical results. So far, significant progress has been realized in the analysis of plant hormones, particularly in sample pretreatment techniques and mass spectrometric methods. This review describes the classic extraction and modern microextraction techniques used to analyze plant hormone. Advancements in solid phase microextraction (SPME) methods have been driven by the ever-increasing requirement for dynamic and in vivo identification of the spatial distribution of plant hormones in real-life plant samples, which would contribute greatly to the burgeoning field of plant hormone investigation. In this review, we describe advances in various aspects of mass spectrometry methods. Many fragmentation patterns are analyzed to provide the theoretical basis for the establishment of a mass spectral database for the analysis of plant hormones. We hope to provide a technical guide for further discovery of new plant hormones. More than 140 research studies on plant hormone published in the past decade are reviewed, with a particular emphasis on the recent advances in mass spectrometry and sample pretreatment techniques in the analysis of plant hormone. The potential progress for further research in plant hormones analysis is also highlighted.

Abstract
Based on the hollow fiber protected molecularly imprinted polymer, a micro-solid-phase extraction (μ-SPE) method was developed and applied for the analysis of indole-3-butyric acid in mung bean sprouts by high-performance liquid chromatography. The extraction conditions of the μ-SPE method were optimized using L9(34) orthogonal, and optimum conditions were found as follows: pH of sample solution was 2.0, chloroform was the organic solvent for embedding the μ-SPE bars, and acetonitrile was the desorption solvent. In addition, the extraction time was 80 min, desorption time was 5 min, stirring speed was 800 rpm, and concentration of NaCl was 10%. Under the optimum conditions, a standard curve was established for IBA, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9999. After extraction with phosphate buffer solution (pH = 9.0), successful pretreatment of mung bean sprouts was achieved by the μ-SPE method. The limit of detection was 0.075 mg/kg, and the recoveries were found to be in the range of 88.9-106.4%. This method is simple, environmentally friendly, and can be used for the determination of indole auxin contents in green bean sprouts quickly and accurately.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive electrochemical aptasensor was constructed for zeatin detection, where MoS2 nanosheets were used as the immobilization matrix for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and AuNPs were employed as the immobilization matrix to probe DNA. After the aptamer DNA and assist DNA hybridized with probe DNA, Y-type DNA can be formed with two biotins at the terminals of aptamer DNA. Then, avidin modified alkaline phosphatase (Avidin-ALP) can be further modified on the electrode surface through the biotin and avidin interaction. Under the catalytic effect of ALP, p-nitrophenylphosphate disodium (PNPP) can be hydrolyzed to produce p-nitrophenol (PNP). However, in the presence of zeatin, the formed Y-type DNA can be destroyed due to the formation of the zeatin-aptamer conjugate, which further reduces the amount of PNP and leads to the decrease of the oxidation signal of PNP. Under the optimum conditions, the change of the oxidation peak current of PNP was inversely proportional to the logarithm value of zeatin concentration in the range of 50 pM-50 nM. The detection limit was calculated to be 16.6 pM. This electrochemical method also showed good detection selectivity and stability. The potential applicability of this method was proved by detecting zeatin in real samples.

Abstract
A new ionic liquid functionalized graphene-pipette-tip solid-phase extraction method coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was established for the simultaneous extraction and determination of three auxins in soybean sprouts. The graphene adsorbent, with multiple adsorption mechanisms, was first synthesized by functional modification of pentafluorobenzyl imidazolium bromide ionic liquid through thiol-ene click chemistry. The ionic liquid was applied to prevent the aggregation of graphene; it also imbued graphene with the ability for π-π interactions, ionic exchange, electrostatic interactions, as well as hydrogen bonding (which is stronger than the interaction between water and analytes), by augmenting the adsorption mechanisms between the adsorbent and analytes. Under optimized conditions, linearity was achieved in the ranges 0.03-5.00 µg/g for indole-3-acetic acid and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid and 0.09-5.00 µg/g for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, with a detection limit of 0.004-0.026 µg/g; this adsorbent has been successfully applied for the determination of auxins in soybean sprouts.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the preparation of molecularly imprinted polymer coatings on quartz chips for selective solid-phase microextraction and fluorescence sensing of the auxin, indole-3-butyric acid. The multiple copolymerization method was used to prepare polymer coatings on silylated quartz chips. The polymer preparation conditions (e.g., the solvent, monomer, and cross-linker) were investigated systemically to enhance the binding performance of the imprinted coatings. Direct solid-phase fluorescence measurements on the chips facilitated monitoring changes in coating performance. The average binding capacity of an imprinted polymer coated chip was approximately 152.9 µg, which was higher than that of a non-imprinted polymer coated chip (60.8 µg); the imprinted coatings showed the highest binding to IBA among the structural analogues, indicating that the coatings possess high selectivity toward the template molecule. The developed method was used for the determination of the auxin in mung bean extraction, and the recovery was found to be in the range of 91.5% to 97.5%, with an RSD (n = 3) of less than 7.4%. Thus, the present study provides a simple method for fabricating a fluorescent sensor chip for selective analysis.

Abstract
A new method involving ionic liquid-hybrid molecularly imprinted material-filter solid-phase extraction coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography (IL-HIM-FSPE-HPLC) was developed for the simultaneous isolation and determination of 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) and 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) in bean sprouts. Sample preconcentration was performed using a modified filter, with the new IL-HIM as the adsorbent, which shows double adsorption. The first adsorption involves special recognition of molecular imprinting, and the second involves ion exchange and electrostatic attraction caused by the ionic liquid. This method combines the advantages of ionic liquids, hybrid materials, and molecularly imprinted polymers and was successfully applied to determine 6-BA and 4-CPA in bean sprouts. The adsorption of 6-BA to IL-HIM is based on selective imprinted recognition, whereas the adsorption of 4-CPA is mainly dependent on ion-exchange interactions.

Abstract
Gibberellins, as a group of phytohormones, exhibit a wide variety of bio-functions within plant growth and development, which have been used to increase crop yields. Many analytical procedures, therefore, have been developed for the determination of the types and levels of endogenous and exogenous gibberellins. As plant tissues contain gibberellins in trace amounts (usually at the level of nanogram per gram fresh weight or even lower), the sample pre-treatment steps (extraction, pre-concentration, and purification) for gibberellins are reviewed in details. The primary focus of this comprehensive review is on the various analytical methods designed to meet the requirements for gibberellins analyses in complex matrices with particular emphasis on high-throughput analytical methods, such as gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis, mostly combined with mass spectrometry. The advantages and drawbacks of the each described analytical method are discussed. The overall aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive and critical view on the different analytical methods nowadays employed to analyze gibberellins in complex sample matrices and their foreseeable trends.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to generate awareness and understand the importance of earthworms in sustainable agriculture and effect of pesticides on their action. The natural resources are finite and highly prone to degradation by the misuse of land and mismanagement of soil. The world is in utter need of a healthy ecosystem that provides with fertile soil, clean water, food and other natural resources. Anthropogenic activities have led to an increased contamination of land. The intensification of industrial and agricultural practices chiefly the utilization of pesticides has in almost every way made our natural resources concave. Earthworms help in a number of tasks that support many ecosystem services that favor agrosystem sustainability but are degraded by exhaustive practices such as the use of pesticides. The present review assesses the response of earthworm toward the pesticides and also evaluates the relationship between earthworm activity and plant growth. We strictly need to refresh and rethink on the policies and norms devised by us on sustainable ecology. In an equivalent way, the natural resources should be utilized and further, essential ways for betterment of present and future livelihood should be sought.

Abstract
Phytohormones have attracted wide attention due to their important biological functions. However, their detection is still a challenge because of their complex composition, low abundance and diverse sources. In this study, a novel method of high-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of ten phytohormones including indole-3-acetic acid, isopentenyladenine, isopentenyl adenosine, trans-zeatin riboside, zeatin, strigolactones, abscisic acid, salicylic acid, gibberellin A3, and jasmonic acid in Sargassum horneri (S. horneri). The phytohormones were extracted from freeze-dried S. horneri with methanol/water/methanoic acid (15:4:1, v/v/v) analyzed on a Hypersil Gold C18 column and detected by electrospray ionization tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. The experimental conditions for the extraction and analysis of phytohormones were optimized and validated in terms of reproducibility, linearity, sensitivity, recovery, accuracy, and stability. Distributions of the phytohormones in the stems, blades, and gas bladder of the S. horneri in drift, fixed, and semi-fixed growing states were investigated for the first time. The observed contents of the phytohormones in S. horneri range from not detected to 5066.67 ng/g (fresh weight). Most phytohormones are distributed mainly in the stems of S. horneri in drift and semi-fixed states.
