“…The reduction in chlorophyll content may create disturbance in photosynthesis and carbohydrate production, which may lead to less plant growth and oil yield, which is in complete agreement with observed reduction in the oil yield of peppermint due to disturbance in photosynthesis that occurred under stress conditions [34]. Sharma et al [35] observed the maximum growth of cassia species in black soil followed by sandy and humus soils; the leaf pigments were also observed more in black soil than those in other soils. The chlorophyll content of wheat and soybean seedlings in different soil types was different [36,37].…”

Soil type is an important environmental factor that affects plant growth and development, especially during the early growth stage. In this study, P. chinense (Phellodendron chinense) seedlings were cultivated on red soil (RS), yellow soil (YS), acidic purple soil (ACPS), and alkaline purple soil (ALPS), and the influence of soil types on the growth parameters and physiological responses at three growth stages were investigated. The results show that soil types and growth stages can significantly influence seedling height, base diameter, and biomass in P. chinense seedlings. Moreover, the significant variations in chlorophyll, total polyphenols, soluble protein, soluble sugar, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, were recorded at three growth stages among four soil types. These results show that P. chinense seedlings can grow normally in four soil types, and ACPS may be more beneficial for the artificial cultivation of P. chinense seedlings than those of RS, ALPS, and YS. Principal component analysis (PCA) reveals a strong correlation and clear differences in the test parameters between growth stage and organs in four soil types, and the cumulative contribution percentages of the total biplot range from 74.44% to 81.97%. This present information will be helpful for farmers in selecting soil type for the large-scale cultivation of P. chinense seedlings.

“…Secondary metabolite production is also influenced by different soils. For example, a study shows that the sennoside content altered among the sandy soil and black soil grown plants, the sandy soil was reported to have higher sennoside content than black soil 45 .…”

Centella asiatica (CA; family Apiaceae) is extensively used in traditional medicine. A regular supply of this plant is required by the herbal drug industry. Hence, the cultivation of this plant is required. The emphasis of the available cultivation practices is on biomass yield. The activity of the plant, however, depends on the amount of bioactive constituents. The production of these secondary metabolites is influenced by biotic as well as abiotic factors. This study was carried out to determine the abiotic factors that enhance the production of secondary metabolites in CA. CA plants were grown in two seasons (i.e., season 1: August to December and season 2: February to June) on different soil types (Clay loamy, Red, Black), and various stresses were applied to the plants. At the end of each season, plant yield, extract yield, asiatic acid content, antioxidant, and acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities were determined. Asiatic acid content was determined by an HPLC method. The results show the varied response of CA plants to seasons, soil, and stresses. CA plants grown in season 2, on black soil under salt stress have the highest asiatic acid content and AChE inhibition. Hence, these conditions may be recommended for incorporation in the cultivation practices of this valuable medicinal plant. This would ensure the commercial supply of plants with higher asiatic acid content and better activity.

“…Therefore, phenotypes or plant responses detected using hydroponic systems may vary in magnitude when plants are grown in alternative systems (e.g., soil or agar-based media). These considerations are not unique for hydroponic systems; differential responses can also be observed if plants are grown in different types of soil 11,12 .…”

Hydroponic systems have been utilized as one of the standard methods for plant biology research and are also used in commercial production for several crops, including lettuce and tomato. Within the plant research community, numerous hydroponic systems have been designed to study plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Here we present a hydroponic protocol that can be easily implemented in laboratories interested in pursuing studies on plant mineral nutrition.This protocol describes the hydroponic system set up in detail and the preparation of plant material for successful experiments. Most of the materials described in this protocol can be found outside scientific supply companies, making the set up for hydroponic experiments less expensive and convenient.The use of a hydroponic growth system is most advantageous in situations where the nutrient media need to be well controlled and when intact roots need to be harvested for downstream applications. We also demonstrate how nutrient concentrations can be modified to induce plant responses to both essential nutrients and toxic non-essential elements.
