Hydroponic cultivation has emerged as a cost-effective alternative to traditional soil-based agriculture and may be less susceptible to pests and diseases. They can be set up in controlled environments, making them suitable for year-round production in urban areas with limited land availability. EM4 is a type of fertilizer that can increase agricultural systems' decomposition, composting, a…
Abrus precatorius, colloquially known as the Saga plant, produces various secondary metabolites with valuable pharmaceutical properties such as glycyrrhizin and abrusoside. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a phytohormone known to regulate the expression of the MYC2 transcription factor, which in turn promotes the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in plants. Understanding the resolution to enh…
Abrus precatorius, known as Saga, is a legume plant belonging to the tropical Asia region that is known for its toxicity. Precedent research has shown that Abrus precatorius leaves and roots have a potential effect on treating various diseases such as cough, bronchitis, hepatitis, and cancer.

Abrus precatorius is a plant highly valued for its foods and medicinal benefits, notably due to the triterpenoid saponins that it can synthesize. The triterpenoid saponins produced are glycyrrhizin in the roots and abrusoside in the leaves. However, the yield of triterpenoid saponins in A. precatorius is low. To increase the yield, it can be induced by activating the stress condition for the…
