Drought Stress Induces Morpho-Physiological and Proteome Changes of Pandanus amaryllifolius

Muhammad Asyraf Mohd Amnan et al.

Summary: Drought poses a significant threat to the agricultural sector, with limited knowledge on plant responses to drought stress and recovery. Pandanus amaryllifolius, a moderate drought-tolerant plant, displayed changes in morpho-physiological, biochemical, and protein levels in response to drought stress. The study revealed alterations in leaf relative water content, chlorophyll content, electrolyte leakage, proline and malondialdehyde contents, and antioxidant enzyme activities in drought-stressed and recovered P. amaryllifolius plants, with significant protein changes related to carbon metabolism, photosynthesis, stress response, and antioxidant activity.

Evaluation of drought tolerance in three commercial pomegranate cultivars using photosynthetic pigments, yield parameters and biochemical traits as biomarkers

Seyed Morteza Zahedi et al.

Summary: Drought stress has adverse effects on pomegranate fruit productivity, characteristics, and composition. Different cultivars have different responses to drought stress. Under intense drought, there were significant decreases in fruit yield, number of fruits per tree, fruit weight, and leaf photosynthetic pigments. However, the levels of certain metabolites and activities of antioxidant enzymes increased. Intense drought also caused a decrease in the quality of fruit juice.

Wood vinegar induces salinity tolerance by alleviating oxidative damages and protecting photosystem II in rapeseed cultivars

Junyi Ma et al.

Summary: Wood vinegar is commonly used in agriculture as organic fertilizer and antibacterial agent. This research study shows that pretreatment of wood vinegar can alleviate the inhibitory effects of salt stress on rapeseed cultivation by promoting plant growth, improving photosynthetic efficiency, and maintaining redox balance. The protective mechanism of wood vinegar involves reducing oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and improving antioxidant enzyme activities. Furthermore, wood vinegar also regulates the expression of salt transporter genes and reduces the uptake of Na+ in plants under salt stress. This study provides valuable insights into the interaction between wood vinegar and ion homeostasis in plants under salinity stress.

Osmotic stress in banana is relieved by exogenous nitric oxide

Muhammad Asyraf Mohd Amnan et al.

Summary: Nitric oxide plays a diverse role in plant growth and defensive responses, and this study demonstrates that treatment with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) can improve plant growth and reduce yellowing leaves under osmotic stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) in banana roots. Proteins related to carbohydrate and energy metabolism were found to be differentially expressed in SNP-treated banana roots compared to PEG-treated banana roots, suggesting a potential link between nitric oxide-induced osmotic stress tolerance and improved carbohydrate and energy metabolism capability in higher plants.
