Approaches Involved in the Vegetable Crops Salt Stress Tolerance Improvement: Present Status and Way Ahead

Tusar Kanti Behera et al.

Summary: Salt stress is a significant abiotic stress that affects plant productivity and causes annual losses in agriculture production. This review explores the physiological, biochemical, and molecular aspects of salt stress and discusses novel genes and methods to improve salt tolerance in vegetable crops.

Physiological Characteristics and Transcriptomic Dissection in Two Root Segments with Contrasting Net Fluxes of Ammonium and Nitrate of Poplar Under Low Nitrogen Availability

Yan Lu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the physiological and transcriptomic regulation mechanisms underlying the distinct net fluxes of NH4+ and NO3- in different root segments of Populus species under low nitrogen conditions. The results suggest that the hub gene coexpression networks play pivotal roles in the regulation of N uptake and assimilation, amino acid metabolism, and the levels of organic acids in poplars' root segments in response to low N availability.

Heterografted chrysanthemums enhance salt stress tolerance by integrating reactive oxygen species, soluble sugar, and proline

Wenjie Li et al.

Summary: This study reveals the increased salt tolerance mechanism of heterografted chrysanthemums by using Artemisia annua as rootstock. The roots of heterografted chrysanthemums enrich Na+ under high salt stress, reducing Na+ toxicity in the scion. They also alleviate high Na+ stress through enhanced enzyme activity, downregulation of gene expression related to reactive oxygen species accumulation, accumulation of soluble sugars and proline, and upregulation of gene expression related to heat shock proteins. The leaves of heterografted chrysanthemums respond to low Na+ stress by increasing enzyme activity and soluble sugar and proline contents. Self-grafted and self-rooted plants, on the other hand, cannot integrate these responses to salt stress and exhibit a salt-sensitive phenotype.

Effects of high salinity on photosynthesis characteristics, leaf histological components and chloroplasts ultrastructure of Avicennia marina seedlings

Zouhaier Barhoumi et al.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of high salinity on Avicennia marina seedlings. The results showed that high salinity slightly reduced plant dry weight and net photosynthetic rate. Leaf water status, intrinsic water use efficiency, and internal CO2 concentration were enhanced. The chloroplasts from palisade mesophyll cells were adequately preserved, while those from spongy mesophyll cells were damaged.

A comparative analysis of photosynthetic function and reactive oxygen species metabolism responses in two hibiscus cultivars under saline conditions

Wenjing Lu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the photosynthetic adaptive strategies of hibiscus in response to saline conditions. The results showed that salt stress significantly reduced chlorophyll content and carbon assimilation capacity in hibiscus leaves. The tolerant cultivar DB exhibited higher antioxidant activity and lower ROS accumulation compared to the sensitive cultivar BS, indicating that oxidative damage plays a crucial role in the higher photoinhibition of BS under NaCl stress.

The genome of Hibiscus hamabo reveals its adaptation to saline and waterlogged habitat

Zhiquan Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the molecular basis and mechanisms of salt and waterlogging stress tolerance in Hibiscus hamabo. A high-quality genome was assembled, revealing that H. hamabo has undergone recent polyploidy events. Genes associated with stress resistance were found to be preferentially preserved in the H. hamabo genome. Transcriptomic analysis showed different responses to stress in roots and leaves. Co-expression networks identified potential stress resistance genes for further investigation.

Drought-tolerant coffee plants display increased tolerance to waterlogging and post-waterlogging reoxygenation

Marco A. Toral-Juarez et al.

Summary: The study showed that a drought-tolerant Coffea canephora clone exhibited less damage and higher recovery after waterlogging and reoxygenation compared to a drought-sensitive clone. Differences between the clones were more pronounced during the reoxygenation phase, possibly due to previous drought experiences. These findings suggest the potential for selecting new coffee genotypes with enhanced tolerance to both drought and waterlogging for increased sustainability under changing climates.

It takes two: Reciprocal scion-rootstock relationships enable salt tolerance in 'Hass' avocado

Silit Lazare et al.

Summary: Commercial avocado orchards typically consist of composite trees. Avocado is salt-sensitive, and understanding the distinct physiological responses of grafted avocado plant organs to salinity can help improve tolerance to salt stress. The study compared ion, metabolite, and lipid profiles of leaves, roots, and trunk drillings of mature 'Hass' avocado scion grafted onto two different rootstocks, revealing that selective ion transport and metabolic modifications in scion-rootstock relationships play a crucial role in enhancing salt tolerance.

Towards spruce-type photosystem II: consequences of the loss of light-harvesting proteins LHCB3 and LHCB6 in Arabidopsis

Iva Ilikova et al.

Summary: The study examined the structure-function relationship of PSII supercomplexes in Arabidopsis mutants to explore the possibility of spruce-type PSII supercomplex formation in angiosperms. Unlike in spruce, both LHCB3 and LHCB6 were found to be necessary for stable binding of the M trimer to the PSII core in Arabidopsis. The formation of spruce-type PSII supercomplex was observed with low abundance only in Ihcb3 plants, suggesting a unique structural arrangement in this mutant.
