Exogenous Silicon Application Promotes Tolerance of Legumes and Their N2 Fixing Symbiosis to Salt Stress

Ahmed El Moukhtari et al.

Summary: Legumes play a significant role in biological nitrogen fixation, but they are often sensitive to salt stress. Silicon has been shown to alleviate the negative effects of salt stress on legume growth and symbiosis efficiency. Through mechanisms such as regulating water uptake, nutrient balance, gas exchange, plant hormones, and antioxidant metabolism, silicon helps improve the salt tolerance of legumes during various developmental stages and symbiotic interactions with rhizobia.

Climate Change and Its Adverse Impacts on Plant Growth in South Asia: Current Status and Upcoming Challenges

Mohammad Saidur Rhaman et al.

Summary: The socioeconomic development, adaptive capacity of the population, and demographic conditions in South Asia make it more vulnerable to climate change. With its heavy reliance on agriculture and agricultural production, the region is facing multiple challenges including climate change, ecosystem degradation, and food insecurity. Rising sea levels and increasing incidence of extreme events pose serious risks to the region, disrupting plant growth and productivity. Urgent action is needed to address these challenges and ensure sustainable and inclusive production.

Strong phosphorus (P)-zinc (Zn) interactions in a calcareous soil-alfalfa system suggest that rational P fertilization should be considered for Zn biofortification on Zn-deficient soils and phytoremediation of Zn-contaminated soils

Honghua He et al.

Summary: There are strong interactions between phosphorus and zinc in calcareous soil-plant system, which significantly affect the bioavailability of zinc, plant growth, accumulation of zinc and phosphorus, and partitioning of zinc in alfalfa. Rational phosphorus fertilization is important for efficient zinc biofortification on zinc-deficient soils and phytoremediation of zinc-contaminated soils.

Alfalfa Biomass Yield and Nitrogen Fixation in Response to Applied Mineral Nitrogen Under Saline Soil Conditions

Ahmed Elgharably et al.

Summary: This study found that under saline conditions, alfalfa biomass, nitrogen fixation, and potassium/sodium ratio increased with nitrogen fertilization, but root nodule number and nitrogen derived from air varied at different nitrogen levels. Nitrogen fertilization seemed to have a positive effect in alleviating salt stress and maintaining shoot biomass production in alfalfa.

Progress in understanding salt stress response in plants using biotechnological tools

Ulkar Ibrahimova et al.

Summary: This review article discusses the impact of salt stress on plants and the adaptive mechanisms of plants to salt stress, including physiological, metabolic, and molecular aspects. Salinization is a global environmental issue that negatively affects crop yield and poses a threat to world food security. Conventional breeding techniques have not been very successful in developing salt tolerant plants, and the transgenic approach has provided a pathway for addressing this issue.

Phosphorus deficiency enhances water deficit impact on some morphological and physiological traits in four faba bean (Vicia faba L.) varieties

Khawla Oukaltouma et al.

Summary: Moroccan soils typically have low phosphorus levels and faba beans, a significant crop in Morocco, are affected by nutrient uptake and nitrogen fixation capacities. The study showed that water deficit and phosphorus deficiency individually or combined have significant effects on faba bean growth, but adequate phosphorus supply can mitigate the negative impacts of water deficit.
