Abstract
The phytohormones cytokinins (CKs) are known to regulate apical/auxiliary meristems, control shoot growth and are associated with nutrient uptake and high biomass production. In this study, different cytokinins were tested on Sedum alfredii (S.alfredii) for shoot proliferation and growth performance as well as their correlation with phytoextraction efficiency. Among the tested cytokinins, Zeatin (ZTN) treatments produced the highest number of shoots (5-6 per explant) with 5 and 10 μM ZTN concentrations which are shown as zeatin (ZTN) > kinetin (KTN) > benzylaminopurine (BA) > thidiazuron (TDZ). Maximum biomass production was produced on these media. The maximum biomass (0.14 g) was found in 10 μM ZTN concentration with a 1-fold difference (mean value: 0.02 g) from CK (0.12 g). However, the lowest biomass (0.11 g) was found with 4 μM TDZ, with a 1-fold difference (mean value: 0.02 g) from CK (0.13 g) which suppressed shoot growth. The leaf area and leaf chlorophyll index were significantly increased in all cytokinins except TDZ, and the relation was ZTN > KTN > BA>CK > TDZ. Cadmium accumulation was significantly higher in treatments containing cytokinins as compared to cytokinin-free media. Zeatin at 10 μM concentration was the most effective for high biomass production and correlated with higher cadmium uptake efficiency. The results suggest that cytokinins particularly ZTN, play a crucial role in enhancing both biomass production and cadmium, uptake efficiency in S. alfredii. Therefore, in large-scale phytoremediation initiatives conducted in field conditions, cytokinins can be utilized as growth regulators to enhance biomass production and cadmium extraction efficiency in S.alfredii.

Abstract
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial soil bacteria that colonise the rhizosphere and help plants in growth, development, and stress tolerance. While there is a significant body of research elucidating their benefits to plants, studies on the "abnormal" or "unexpected" behavior of these bacteria are almost non-existent. One such study from our laboratory has previously reported a unique situation in which a certain strain of drought and thermo-tolerant PGPR, namely, Pseudomonas putida AKMP7, becomes pathogenic towards Arabidopsis thaliana under drought conditions, but not under normal (well-watered) conditions. In this study, we have probed deeper into this phenomenon of "conditional pathogenesis". We found that, AKMP7 imparts an enhancement in plant growth under well-watered conditions, while, causing a deterioration in plant health under drought conditions. In an attempt to understand the underlying reasons for this phenomenon, we analysed the phytohormones released by Pseudomonas putida AKMP7 using LC-ESI-MS/MS technique. We identified that AKMP7 releases zeatin (a cytokinin), the auxin derivative -indole acetamide and amino acid-conjugates of auxin (indole-3-acetyl-L-alanine, indole-3-acetyl-L-phenylalanine and indole-3-acetyl-L-aspartate) in the growth medium. By treating the plants with commercially obtained forms of these phytohormones, individually or in combination with AKMP7, we identified that zeatin and auxin derivative indole acetamide can play a crucial role in the conditional pathogenesis exhibited by this bacterium on A. thaliana under drought conditions. Our work lays a foundation for further understanding the precise molecular mechanisms involved in this unique phenomenon of conditional/opportunistic pathogenesis.

Abstract
Winter wheat not only provides adequate fresh forage grass in winter, but also ensures ample grain production in summer. The mechanisms underlying the regeneration of winter wheat after mowing or grazing are not well understood. In this study, the miRNA expression profile of winter wheat was determined using RNA sequencing and the endogenous auxin and cis-zeatin concentrations, as well as the expression of related miRNA-targeted genes, were measured. During the post-mowing regeneration of winter wheat, the concentrations of endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), methyl indole-3-acetate (ME-IAA), and indole-3-carboxaldehyde (ICA) decreased, while those of cis-zeatin (cZ) increased. Moreover, 15 novel miRNAs and three known miRNAs were found to be involved in the synthesis and signalling transduction of auxins and cytokinins (CKs). Among these miRNAs, miR1153-y, miR5059-x, miR2916-x, novel-miR1532-3p, novel-miR1060-3p, and novel-miR0890-3p, were found to be negatively correlated with the expression of their target genes including auxin response GH3.7, auxin response factor (ARF), type-A two-component response regulator (A-ARR), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), and O-glucosyltransferase (CISZOG). Furthermore, miR1153-y was identified as mediating the cleavage of GH3.7 by RACE assay. In turn, these genes inhibited the biosynthesis and signalling of IAA and activated CK signal transduction, resulting in the rapid regeneration of mowed winter wheat. This study revealed that some miRNAs exert a positive regulatory effect on the post-mowing regeneration of winter wheat by controlling the synthesis and signal transduction of IAA and CK, and our founding will aid developments in biotechnology aimed at improving the post-mowing regeneration ability of winter wheat.

Abstract
Despite summer drought may challenge plant survival in Mediterranean-type ecosystems, the role of reproductive load on drought stress and recovery has been poorly studied in invasive plants, most particularly under natural field conditions. In this study, a highly plastic clonal invasive species, Carpobrotus edulis was used to explore a putative differential response to drought between reproductive (senescent) ramets and non-reproductive ramets. Furthermore, fruit removal was used to assess how alterations on the source-sink dynamics influence plant performance during drought stress and recovery. We examined the variations in chloroplast pigments, antioxidants, lipid peroxidation and cytokinins in leaves of non-reproductive and reproductive ramets (either with intact or fruit-removed ramets) in response to summer drought stress and recovery after rains under Mediterranean field conditions. Results showed that although both ramet types within a C. edulis patch recovered at the end of the summer, increased photoprotective investment was found in leaves from reproductive ramets, thus indicating an increased photoprotective demand associated with reproduction at the ramet level. This response was associated with differentiated cytokinin contents in leaves of reproductive ramets compared to those of non-reproductive ramets. Although leaf senescence was not reversed by the fruit removal, leaves recovered their chlorophyll content after rainfall during late summer in parallel with the accumulation of cytokinins. In conclusion, C. edulis shows a huge plasticity in drought stress responses with a marked compartmentation at the ramet level, which helps at least in part to an efficient recovery from unpredictable water shortage periods in the current frame of climate change.

Abstract
Zeatin, an adenine-derivative cytokinin has well-established functions in plants. It is also suggested to activate A2A receptors in animals, however, there is limited knowledge of its effects. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the possible effects of zeatin on depression, and our hypothesis is that zeatin might induce an anti-depressant effect via A2A receptor-linked pathways. The forced swim test was used to create a depression-like model on female and male rats. A balanced zeatin isomer mixture (80 % trans-zeatin (tZ), 20 % cis-zeatin (cZ)) was administered intraperitoneally to analyze the effects. Caffeine with a suboptimal dose (2 mg/kg) was used as a known ligand of A2A receptor. Finally, a molecular docking study was also implemented to compare caffeine and tZ in the ligand binding site of A2A receptor. We demonstrate that (1) there is a clear sex-dependent difference in the susceptibility to depression-like symptoms, where female rats in the metestrus phase display higher depressive-like behavior and lower responses to the anti-depressant-like effects of pharmacological applications; (2) 10 mg/kg zeatin exerts an anti-depressant-like effect for both females and males without affecting locomotor activity; (3) 8 mg/kg tZ alone replicates this effect for both sexes, (4) the effect of zeatin is also differential for either sex and (5) the similar effect of caffeine and zeatin implies that the effect might be exerted via A2A receptor mediated pathways. Computational analysis further yielded similar binding patterns for both ligands. In conclusion, zeatin might have a potential therapeutic use in depression, acting via adenosinergic pathways.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION Nitric oxide increased lettuce's tolerance to salinity by restoring its hormonal balance, consequently reducing Na + accumulation and activating defense mechanisms that allowed the attenuation of ionic, oxidative, and osmotic stresses. Agricultural crops are continually threatened by soil salinity. The plant's ability to tolerate soil salinity can be increased by treatment with the signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO). Involvement of NO in plant metabolism and its interactions with phytohormones have not been fully described, so knowledge about the role of this radical in signaling pathways remains fragmented. In this work, Lactuca sativa (lettuce) plants were subjected to four treatments: (1) control (nutrient solution); (2) SNP [nutrient solution containing 70 μM sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an NO donor]; (3) NaCl (nutrient solution containing 80 mM NaCl); or (4) SNP + NaCl (nutrient solution containing SNP and NaCl). The plants were exposed to these conditions for 24 h, and then, the roots and leaves were collected and used to evaluate biochemical parameters (reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cell membrane damage, cell death, antioxidant enzymes activities, and proline concentration), physiological parameters (pigments' concentration and gas-exchange measurements), and phytohormone content. To evaluate growth, tolerance index, and nutrient concentration, the plants were exposed to the treatments for 3 days. L sativa exposure to NaCl triggered ionic, osmotic, and oxidative stress, which resulted in hormone imbalance, cell death, and decreased growth. These deleterious changes were correlated with Na+ content in the vegetative tissues. Adding NO decreased Na+ accumulation and stabilized the mineral nutrient concentration, which maintained the photosynthetic rate and re-established growth. NO-signaling action also re-established the phytohormones balance and resulted in antioxidant system activation and osmotic regulation, with consequent increase in plants tolerance to the salt.

Abstract
The present paper describes the first screening study of the ability of natural yeast strains to synthesize in culture the plant-related cytokine hormone zeatin, which was carried out using HPLC-MS/MS. A collection of 76 wild strains of 36 yeast species (23 genera) isolated from a variety of natural substrates was tested for the production of zeatin using HPLC-MS/MS. Zeatin was detected in more than a half (55%) of studied strains and was more frequently observed among basidiomycetous than ascomycetous species. The amount of zeatin accumulated during the experiment varied among species and strains. Highest zeatin values were recorded for basidiomycete Sporobolomyces roseus and ascomycete Taphrina sp. that produced up to 8,850.0 ng and 5,166.4 ng of zeatin per g of dry biomass, respectively. On average, the ability to produce zeatin was more pronounced among species isolated from the arctic-alpine zone than among strains from tropical and temperate climates. Our study also demonstrated that epiphytic strains and pigmented yeast species, typically for phyllosphere, are able to more often produce a plant hormone zeatin than other yeasts.

Abstract
The aim of the present report was to demonstrate how a novel approach for immunohistochemical localization of cytokinins in the leaf and particularly in the phloem may complement to the study of their long-distance transport. Different procedures of fixation were used to conjugate either cytokinin bases or their ribosides to proteins of cytoplasm to enable visualization and differential localization of these cytokinins in the leaf cells of wheat plants. In parallel to immunolocalization of cytokinins in the leaf cells, we immunoassayed distribution of free bases of cytokinins, their nucleotides and ribosides between roots and shoots of wheat plants as well as their presence in phloem sap after incubation of leaves in a solution supplemented with either trans-zeatin or isopentenyladenine. The obtained data show ribosylation of the zeatin applied to the leaves and its elevated level in the phloem sap supported by in vivo localization showing the presence of ribosylated forms of zeatin in leaf vessels. This suggests that conversion of zeatin to its riboside is important for the shoot-to-root transport of zeatin-type cytokinins in wheat. Exogenous isopentenyladenine was not modified, but diffused from the leaves as free base. These metabolic differences may not be universal and may depend on the plant species and age. Although the measurements of cytokinins in the phloem sap and root tissue is the most defining for determining cytokinin transport, study of immunolocalization of either free cytokinin bases or their ribosylated forms may be a valuable source of information for predicting their transport in the phloem and to the roots.

Abstract
Olea europaea L. cv Canino shoots were micropropagated to test two different culture systems: (1) on conventional semi-solid medium in glass jars and (2) in liquid culture in a Plantform™ bioreactor. The temporary immersion system, Plantform™, is a new propagation approach that uses liquid culture, where shoots undergo periodic immersion in liquid medium alternated with dry periods, avoiding gas accumulation through forced ventilation. This study proposes a protocol to improve in vitro propagation of olive reducing production costs. Our findings revealed that olive shoots propagated in Plantform™, with an immersion frequency of 8 min every 16 h and additional ventilation, showed good adaptability and better growth rates than those cultured in conventional system. Overall, the Plantform™ improves in vitro culture of 'Canino', showing higher proliferation, shoot length and better vigour of shoots. Moreover, the study found no significant differences in shoot length when 5 or 10 µM zeatin was applied in Plantform™ (3.04 and 3.13 cm, respectively); it is, therefore, possible to achieve efficient olive proliferation also with half hormone concentration. The positive performance of the bioreactor approach was also confirmed by Relative Growth Rate index. This is the first documented study of the Plantform™ technique for olive propagation.

Abstract
Fig, or Ficus carica, is a fruit tree from the Moraceae family and is widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Fig plants are mainly propagated through grafting, air layering, and hardwood cutting whereby these methods were found to be less efficient. Plant tissue culture is efficient method to propagate plants, particularly to produce true-to-type platelets for mass multiplication. The aim of this study is to induce multiple shoot formation on Ficus carica cv. Japanese BTM 6 through identifying and optimising the concentrations of 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and Zeatin suited for shoot formation. The axillary shoot tip explants were cultured in MS media supplemented with different concentrations of BAP and Zeatin (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mg/L) to determine the optimal concentration for the formation of multiple shoots. Number of shoots per explants and the differences in shoot height of explants were calculated after 8 and 12 weeks of culture respectively. Of all the treatments of BAP, MS media containing with 2 mg/L BAP marked the highest number of shoots per explant with the average value of 1.67 ± 0.33 while 1.5 and 2 mg/L of BAP produced the highest differences in shoot height with 0.51 ± 0.08 cm and 0.51 ± 0.07 cm after 12 weeks respectively. Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with 2 mg/L Zeatin showed the highest production of multiple shoots and differences in shoot height with the average of 0.83 ± 0.219 and 0.32 ± 0.04 cm respectively among all the different treatments of Zeatin. In this study, BAP performed better in shoot induction and elongation as compared to Zeatin for the cultivar Japanese BTM 6.

Abstract
The availability of reproducible regeneration system through tissue culture is a major bottleneck in wheat improvement program. The present study has considered to develop an efficient callus induction and regeneration system using mature and immature embryos as explants in recently released agronomically superior spring wheat varieties. An efficient sterilization process was standardized using 0.1% HgCl2 and 70% ethanol for both seeds and embryos. The maximum possible combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs) were evaluated for their effect on different wheat regeneration processes through tissue culture starting from callus to root induction. Picloram is found as an effective auxin with 87.63-98.67% callus induction efficiency in both explants. Supplementation of CuSO4 along with 2,4-D, zeatin in regeneration medium significantly enhanced the multiple shoot induction. The shoot development was achieved using full strength Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium and root induction using half MS medium without PGRs. The optimized medium and method has resulted up to 100% regeneration irrespective of the genotype used with high reproducibility. Thus, the standardized regeneration system can be used in the regeneration of healthy plants from embryos rescued from interspecies crosses, transgenic production, induced mutation breeding and recently developed genome editing techniques for the procreation of wheat plants having novel traits.

Abstract
Feeding the growing population utilizing the limited agricultural resources remains a great challenge. Plant biotechnology plays a vital role in crop improvement by incorporating desired quality traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and resistance to biotic stresses, which are otherwise tough to achieve by conventional plant breeding methodologies. Genetic engineering is a powerful tool to develop desired traits in selected crops to make the crops suitable for future demand and environment. For genetic engineering of crops like wheat, the development of efficient transformation and regeneration systems has always been a prime requirement. Immature embryo cultures have been used largely for genetic engineering purposes in wheat, but the availability of healthy immature embryos as explant throughout the year is difficult. In contrast, mature embryos are readily available throughout the year. Therefore, it is essential to develop an efficient transformation and regeneration system employing mature embryos as explant. Here, we summarize the recent developments in wheat tissue culture using mature embryos as explants and its use in genetic transformation.

Abstract
Organogenesis in peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) and peach rootstocks (P. persica × Prunus dulcis) has been achieved and the action of the regeneration medium on 7 phytohormones, zeatin (Z), zeatin riboside (ZR), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), salicylic acid (SA), and jasmonic acid (JA), has been studied using High performance liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Three scion peach cultivars, 'UFO-3', 'Flariba' and 'Alice Bigi', and the peach × almond rootstocks 'Garnem' and 'GF677' were cultured in two different media, Murashige and Skoog supplemented with plant growth regulators (PGRs) (regeneration medium) and without PGRs (control medium), in order to study the effects of the media and/or genotypes in the endogenous hormones content and their role in organogenesis. The highest regeneration rate was obtained with the peach × almond rootstocks and showed a lower content of Z, IAA, ABA, ACC and JA. Only Z, ZR and IAA were affected by the action of the culture media. This study shows which hormones are external PGRs-dependent and what is the weight of the genotype and hormones in peach organogenesis that provide an avenue to manipulate in vitro organogenesis in peach.

Abstract
The relationship between endogenous hormones content and the induction of somatic peach plant was studied. To induce multiple shoots from callus derived from the base of stem explants of the scion cultivars 'UFO-3', 'Flariba' and 'Alice Bigi', and the peach×almond rootstocks 'Garnem' and 'GF677', propagated plants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog salts augmented with 0.1mgL(-1) of indolebutyric acid, 1mgL(-1) of 6-benzylaminopurine and 3% sucrose. The highest regeneration rate was obtained with the peach×almond rootstocks. Endogenous levels of abscisic acid (ABA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), zeatin (Z), zeatin riboside (ZR), ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), salicylic acid (SA), and jasmonic acid (JA) were analyzed in the organogenic callus. Lower levels of several hormones, namely Z, ZR, ABA, and ACC were found in the peach×almond rootstock compared to peach cultivars, while IAA and SA presented inconclusive returns. These results suggest that the difference in somatic organogenesis capacity observed in peach and peach×almond hybrids is markedly affected by the endogenous hormonal content of the studied genotypes.

Abstract
Gerbera jamesonii (gerbera) is an important cut-flower in the global floricultural industry. Micropropagation is the main system used to clonally propagate gerbera in vitro resulting in the production of millions of plantlets each year. Numerous types of explants and protocols for micropropagation have been established and used for gerbera. Shoot tips are the commonly used explant while adventitious shoot induction from the capitulum is also a popular method. Most papers in the literature have focused on testing the influence of different types and combinations of plant growth regulators with the aim of improving the regeneration and multiplication stage of one or few cultivars. Genotype is one of the most influential factors on the response of gerbera in vitro. Despite this, no successful universal protocol has yet been developed for multiple cultivars, limiting the usefulness of current protocols for commercial biotechnology labs. Slow-growing endogenous bacteria are one of the most important problems in gerbera micropropagation but require more studies on control and prevention. Individual shoots are normally easy to root, usually in excess of 90% of plantlets, but the acclimatization stage requires improvements and new technologies to increase the survival of plants. Epigenetic variations in micropropagated gerbera are frequently observed only with high concentrations of cytokinins in the culture medium but somaclonal variation is rare.
