Functional Quality, Antioxidant Capacity and Essential Oil Percentage in Different Mint Species Affected by Salinity Stress

Seyyed Jaber Hosseini et al.

Summary: Saline stress significantly affects plant growth, especially in drought-affected areas. This study examined the biochemical and enzymatic properties of 18 mint ecotypes, and found that M. piperita and M. rotundifolia exhibited better stress tolerance, while M. longifolia was salt sensitive. The results provide valuable information for selecting and breeding salt-tolerant mint varieties.

Exploring the Research Challenges and Perspectives in Ecophysiology of Plants Affected by Salinity Stress

Madalina Trusca et al.

Summary: Soil salinization processes have increased and negatively impact agricultural fields. This review highlights the potential effects of soil salinity on plants, including decreased leaf development rate, reduced water level and cell division, low photosynthetic rate, stomata closure, and limitations on seed germination. However, there are also positive aspects such as activating pathways for salt stress resistance and benefiting physiological parameters like germination and stomata number. Further studies should focus on both the positive and negative aspects of soil salinity increase.

Effect of plant growth regulators and salt stress on secondary metabolite composition in Lamiaceae species

Muhammed Assaf et al.

Summary: Medicinal and aromatic plants are a valuable natural resource for the production of secondary metabolites used in various industries. The quality and quantity of these metabolites are influenced by factors such as salinity and plant growth regulators. Moderate levels of salinity and exogenous treatments of plant growth regulators can enhance the production of secondary metabolites. However, further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and optimize the content and composition of these metabolites.

Effect of combined potassium-phosphorus fertilization on gas exchange, antioxidant activity and fruit production of West Indian cherry under salt stress

Adaan Sudario Dias et al.

Summary: Salt stress affects gas exchange and redox metabolism in plants, but combining potassium-phosphorus fertilization may increase salt tolerance. High salinity impairs gas exchange and reduces fruit yield in West Indian cherry, although fruit weight may increase under suitable salinity levels.

Exogenous strigolactones alleviate the photosynthetic inhibition and oxidative damage of cucumber seedlings under salt stress

Xiaohua Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the role of exogenous strigolactone analog GR24 in alleviating salt damage in cucumber seedlings. It was found that GR24 pretreatment improved chlorophyll content, photosynthetic efficiency, and antioxidant capacity under salt stress. RNA-seq analysis revealed differentially expressed genes related to photosynthesis and oxidative stress. Additionally, H2O2 and MAPK cascade pathways were identified as potential contributors to the GR24-induced alleviation of salt stress.

Root K+ homeostasis and signalling as a determinant of salinity stress tolerance in cultivated and wild rice species

Babar Shahzad et al.

Summary: This study reveals the mechanism of salt tolerance in rice and the role of K+ retention by comparing cultivated and wild rice species. The results show that wild rice species have higher K+ efflux in the elongation root zone in response to NaCl and ROS, but also possess higher K+ retention ability in the mature zone. This suggests that stress-induced K+ efflux may act as a metabolic switch in wild rice.

Effects of drought stress on growth and flavonoid accumulation of fish mint (Houttuynia cordata Thumb.)

Thang Thanh Tran et al.

Summary: The study found that drought stress significantly reduces the growth parameters of fish mint, such as shoot height, leaf number, leaf area, and fresh weight. As the duration of drought stress increases, these parameters gradually decrease. Drought period and level lead to a decrease in respiration, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll, and starch content, while the concentration of carotenoids and flavonoids dramatically increases with increasing drought stress.

Investigation of yield, phytochemical composition, and photosynthetic pigments in different mint ecotypes under salinity stress

Seyyed Jaber Hosseini et al.

Summary: Salinity stress affects the growth and chemical composition of Iranian mint, but some species are more tolerant to the stress. While photosynthetic pigments decrease, the content of total phenolic, flavonoid, and anthocyanin increases under salinity stress. Dry matter yield decreases, but essential oil content increases. E18 ecotype shows the most desirable traits and can be recognized as a salt-tolerant ecotype.

Is there any relationship between agronomic traits, soil properties and essential oil profile of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) treated by fertiliser treatments and irrigation regimes?

Hamed Keshavarz-Mirzamohammadi et al.

Summary: The study found that vermicompost has a significant effect on increasing the dry matter weight of peppermint plants and improving the essential oil content, with the highest levels observed in 2019 and with a 13.5 ton/ha application rate. Mild drought stress was shown to enhance the synthesis of medicinal compounds and increase menthol content, while vermicomposting was found to mitigate the impact of drought by conserving soil moisture and improving nutrient uptake as an acclimation mechanism to prevent yield losses.
