Identification and evolutionary analysis of the metal-tolerance protein family in eight Cucurbitaceae species

Xinchen Jiang et al.

Summary: Metal-tolerance proteins (MTPs) play crucial roles in plant metal tolerance and ion homeostasis. In this study, 142 MTPs were identified from 11 genomes of 8 Cucurbitaceae species, showing that they are mainly plasma membrane-located proteins with duplication events. Expression profiling revealed that several MTP genes are constitutively expressed in Cucurbitaceae species and their expression levels are not significantly altered by various stresses.

Growth-Promoting Endophytic Fungus (Stemphylium lycopersici) Ameliorates Salt Stress Tolerance in Maize by Balancing Ionic and Metabolic Status

Raid Ali et al.

Summary: The study showed that salt stress negatively impacted various aspects of maize growth, biochemistry, and ion content while also increasing antioxidant enzyme activities and certain secondary metabolites. However, the presence of endophytic fungus Stemphylium lycopersici helped mitigate the effects of salt stress, promoting antioxidant activities and nutrient uptake in maize plants. This highlights the potential of S. lycopersici as a natural salt stress reducer and growth promoter in crops, suggesting its use as a biofertilizer for improving salt stress tolerance and growth performance in saline regions.

Aspergillus violaceofuscus alleviates cadmium and chromium stress in Okra through biochemical modulation

Laila Aziz et al.

Summary: Endophytic fungus Ch06 isolated from Chilli was found to produce various metabolites under cadmium and chromium stress, which significantly promoted the growth of okra plants. The association with Ch06 was also found to reduce the uptake and translocation of cadmium and chromium in okra plants, thereby reducing their toxicity.

Javeria Javed et al.

Summary: The study found that under drought stress, inoculating specific endophytic fungal symbionts can significantly improve the growth and physiological performance of Carthamus oxycantha plants. This symbiosis works by increasing the levels of proteins, sugars, phenols, and enhancing antioxidant enzyme activities.

Fungal and oomycete pathogens and heavy metals: an inglorious couple in the environment

Joanna Gajewska et al.

Summary: Heavy metal contamination is a global problem, and microorganisms such as fungi and oomycetes have a relatively high tolerance to these pollutants. HM stress affects their growth, morphology, and oxidative balance, but these pathogens may have detoxification mechanisms that enable their survival in highly HM-polluted environments.

Paco Romero et al.

Summary: This study identified and characterized a six-member family of COPT in tomato, showing the variable presence of essential elements required for their functionality among members. Functional complementation assays revealed that SlCOPT1 and SlCOPT2 can transport copper inside the cell. Additionally, protein interaction network analyses demonstrated connections between SlCOPTs and other metal transporters and proteins related to the peroxisome.

Molecular Mechanisms of the 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylic Acid (ACC) Deaminase Producing Trichoderma asperellum MAP1 in Enhancing Wheat Tolerance to Waterlogging Stress

Mamoona Rauf et al.

Summary: The study identifies the fungal endophyte Trichoderma asperellum (strain MAP1) isolated from Canna indica L. roots as having ACC deaminase activity, which positively impacts wheat growth under waterlogging stress by secreting phytohormones/secondary metabolites, enhancing the antioxidant system, promoting polyamine production, and modulating gene expression. In addition, MAP1 ameliorates the adverse effects of ET and ACC under waterlogging stress, ultimately leading to enhanced plant growth and yield.

Chromium Stress in Plants: Toxicity, Tolerance and Phytoremediation

Dipali Srivastava et al.

Summary: The extensive industrial activities have led to an increase in chromium contamination, which severely affects plant growth and is recognized as a human carcinogen. Cr(VI) is the most toxic and persistent form in soil, and plants uptake Cr through various transporters. Up-regulation of detoxification genes can confer tolerance in plants under Cr stress.

Metal and Metalloid Toxicity in Plants: An Overview on Molecular Aspects

Paola I. Angulo-Bejarano et al.

Summary: Globally, the increasing effects of metal and metalloid toxicity are mainly attributed to anthropogenic causes, particularly soil contamination. Plants have evolved mechanisms such as hyperaccumulation, tolerance, exclusion, and chelation with organic molecules to overcome metal/metalloid stress, while omics research has enhanced understanding of plant genome and transcriptome plasticity in response to these stimuli.

Using plants to remediate or manage metal-polluted soils: an overview on the current state of phytotechnologies

Clistenes Williams Araujo do Nascimento et al.

Summary: Phytoremediation is a promising and cost-effective technology for addressing metal contamination in soils, especially through phytostabilization in mining sites and brownfields. However, phytoextraction still faces challenges with successful applications, despite advances in understanding the constraints of phytotechnologies. Further research on new plant species and soil amendments could help transform phytoextraction into a viable metal clean-up technology in the future.

Endophytic Aspergillus niger reprograms the physicochemical traits of tomato under cadmium and chromium stress

Laila Aziz et al.

Summary: The endophytic fungus Aspergillus niger isolated from Cucurbita roots showed positive effects on the growth and biochemical attributes of Solanum lycopersicum under Cd and Cr stress. It reduced the translocation of heavy metals to the aerial parts of the host plant and induced the expression of stress-responsive genes to enhance tolerance. This suggests that A. niger could potentially be used as a biofertilizer for safe crop production in heavy metal contaminated soils.
