Abstract	The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant public health crisis all over the world. The rapid spreading nature and high mortality rate of COVID-19 places a huge pressure on scientists to develop effective diagnostics and therapeutics to control the pandemic. Some scientists working on plant biotechnology together with commercial enterprises for the emergency manufacturing of diagnostics and therapeutics have aimed to fulfill the rapid demand for SARS-CoV-2 protein antigen and antibody through a rapid, scalable technology known as transient/stable expression in plants. Plant biotechnology using transient/stable expression offers a rapid solution to address this crisis through the production of low-cost diagnostics, antiviral drugs, immunotherapy, and vaccines. Transient/stable expression technology for manufacturing plant-based biopharmaceuticals is already established at commercial scale. Here, current opinions regarding how plant biotechnology can help fight against COVID-19 through the production of low-cost diagnostics and therapeutics are discussed.

Abstract	Folate deficiency is a significant global health issue that affects millions of people and causes severe adverse effects. Major staple crops, which provide significant amounts of calories, often contain inadequate folate levels. Synthetic fortification has contributed to a reduction in low-folate populations, but a more sustainable solution is needed. Biofortification, or the breeding of crops to naturally increase their nutrient content, is a promising alternative. Soybean is a highly nutritious crop and a good candidate for folate biofortification. However, studies on folate have been limited due to the challenges in folate analysis. The development of sensitive and selective tools, reference materials, and studies on the stability of folate vitamers in crops has facilitated the development of improved folate determination methods. Additionally, the soybean folate biofortification program can be improved by leveraging previous studies in major cereals, common bean and pea, as well as combining conventional breeding with new genomics approaches. In this review, we discuss the folate content, composition, and analytical challenges in soybean and suggest possible frameworks and strategies for folate biofortification in soybean. We also conducted an in silico analysis of key folate biosynthesis enzymes in soybean.

Abstract	Phytoremediation coupled with agro-production is a sustainable strategy for remediation of toxic metal contaminated farmlands without interrupting crop production. In this study, high accumulating oilseed rape was rotated with low accumulating rice to evaluate the effects of crop rotation on growth performance and uptake of cadmium (Cd) in plants. In this system, oilseed rape was inoculated with plant growth promoting endophyte (PGPE) consortium, and rice was applied with soil composite amendment and foliar inhibitor. The results showed, compared with rice monoculture, crop rotation coupled with superposition measure has potential to enhance yield, biomass and nutritional quality of both crops, as well as to increase Cd uptake in non-edible tissues of oilseed rape and to reduce Cd concentration in individual parts of rice, thus accelerating phytoextraction and ensuring food safety. These comprehensive management practices removed 7.03 and 7.91% total Cd from two experiment fields, respectively, in three years phytoremediation. These results demonstrated a feasible technical mode for phytoremediation coupled with argo-production in slightly Cd contaminated field, and also provided useful information for further investigation of interaction mechanisms between the rotated crops and biofortification measures.

Abstract	Cadmium (Cd) contamination and continuous cropping obstacle often coexist in greenhouse soil and seriously restrict cucumber production. In this study, hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii Hance was intercropped with spring cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), then rotated with low accumulator water spinach and autumn cucumber under rational water regime, composited amendment was applied to soil before transplanting autumn cucumber. The results showed that, compared with conventional crop rotation system (Chinese cabbage and cucumber rotation), superposition management practice suppressed Fusarium wilt disease by 28.4 and 57.4% and increased yield by 35.2 and 383% for spring and autumn cucumbers, respectively. Meanwhile, photosynthetic characteristics, antioxidant system and fruit quality were significantly improved. Furthermore, this mode modified soil microbial community structure, enhanced soil enzyme activities, and simultaneously reduced soil total and phytoavailable Cd by 30.3 and 47.7%, respectively. These results demonstrated a feasible technical system to achieve phytoremediation coupled with argo-production in Cd contaminated greenhouse soil with continuous cropping obstacle and provided useful information for further revelation of interaction mechanisms between multicropping and comprehensive biofortification measurements.

Abstract	Tetracycline (TC) contamination has become hot research topic, but little attention has been paid to its ecotoxicological monitoring. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact of TC on human normal liver cells (HL-7702) and find indicators for monitoring their ecotoxicity. The cytotoxicity of TC, at concentrations ranging from 0 to 1000 μg L −1 , was assessed on HL-7702 cells. The results showed that TC significantly inhibited the cell viability at a high concentration (1000 μg L −1 ). The TC at exposure levels ≥ 50–100 μg L −1 significantly increased the levels of extracellular catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), alanine transaminase (ALT), and aspartate transaminase (AST), and a significantly positive correlation between the TC concentrations and the values of the above parameters was observed. Swelling of the mitochondrial cristae (MC) and rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and the loss of ribosomes in HL-7702 cells, were observed at high TC levels. There was a positive correlation between soil TC concentration and ALT activities. The above results suggest that TC is cytotoxic to HL-7702 cells and that extracellular ALT activities can be used as a sensitive bioindicator for monitoring soil TC contamination. We, therefore, propose that the HL-7702 cell line can be a novel tool for early antibiotics toxicity monitoring.

Abstract	The present study investigated the effects of foliar application of zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) on bioavailability of Zn and Se and toxicity of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) to different water spinach ecotypes (LA and HA) grown in slightly (XZ) or moderately (LJY) contaminated fields via in vitro digestion combined with Caco-2/HL-7702 cell model. The obtained results revealed that foliar application of Zn and Se promoted yield, increased total, bioaccessible and bioavailable fractions of Zn and Se in plants, indicating that foliar application is a feasible way of biofortification. Although there was no significant effect on liver cell proliferation (MTT), membrane stability (LDH) and hepatocyte enzyme (ALT and AST) activities, the obvious ecotype and soil dependent fluctuations of lipid peroxidation (MDA) and antioxidant enzyme (SOD, POD and CAT) activities in serum highly suggest that the low accumulator and clean field should be used in agricultural production rather than the high accumulator and contaminated farmland. Moreover, foliar application of Zn and Se improved nutritional quality of all water spinach genotypes in both fields, including increased Fe, vitamin C, cellulose and chlorophyll, maintained concentrations of potassium (K), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), protein, and nitrate. These results demonstrate that this agricultural management practice may prove to be an effective approach for minimizing health risk and alleviating "hidden hunger" in the developing countries.
