SUMMARY Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a carboxylating enzyme with important roles in plant metabolism. Most studies C 4 plants have focused on photosynthetic PEPC, but less known about non‐photosynthetic PEPC isozymes, especially respect to their physiological functions. In this work, we analyzed the precise of sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) PPC3 isozyme by use knock‐down lines Sb gene silenced Ppc3 lines). showed reduced stomatal conductance and size, delay flowering time, seed production. addition, accumulated stress indicators such as Asn, citrate, malate, sucrose roots higher citrate synthase activity, even control conditions. Salinity further affected yield had deeper impact central metabolism compared wild type, more notably roots, showing nitrate reductase NADH‐glutamate activity accumulation molecules N/C ratio. Taken together, our results show that although SbPPC3 predominantly root protein, its absence causes deep changes physiology leaves, negatively affecting maximal opening, growth, productivity, responses plants. The consequences silencing suggest maybe orthologs other plants, could be an target improve resistance salt stresses where PEPCs may implicated.

However, there also some positive presence soil. field offers unlimited possibilities research order activate pathways that help plants become resistant stress. Several physiological parameters benefit from concentration (halopriming), such as germination, vigor, rapid seedling growth, number. Further studies should focus both increase salinity.

Plant growth often encounters diverse abiotic stresses. As a global resource-based ecological problem, salinity is widely distributed and one of the major stresses affecting crop yields worldwide. Sorghum, cereal with medium salt tolerance great value for development utilization salted soils, an important source food, brewing, energy, forage production. However, in soils high concentrations, sorghum experiences low emergence suppressed metabolism. It has been demonstrated that effects stress on germination seedling can be effectively mitigated to certain extent by exogenous amendment hormonal gibberellin (GA). At present, most studies at home abroad focus morphological physiological levels, including transcriptome analysis hormone tolerance, metabolism pathway, mining key regulation genes. The high-throughput sequencing technology increasingly used study resistance, which significance plant resistance gene excavation mechanism. In this study, we aimed review GA leaf traits seedlings further analyze response leaves development. This not only focuses role but also explores signal transduction pathways performance their responsive genes under stress, thus helping clarify mechanism regulating production stress. will serve as reference molecular discovery related new varieties.

Salinity, a significant abiotic stressor, adversely affects global plant growth. To address this, monitoring genetic diversity within species germplasm for salt tolerance traits is vital. This study investigates the responses of ten sorghum genotypes to varying stress levels (control, 60 mM NaCl, and 120 NaCl), aiming assess diversity. Using randomized complete block design with three replications split-plot arrangement, treatments were assigned main plots, placed in sub-plots. Physiological attributes, including photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, CO 2 concentration, leaf area index, chlorophyll concentrations, antioxidant enzyme activity, measured during 50% flowering stage. Fresh forage yield was evaluated at early dough stage, while dry sodium/potassium concentrations determined post-drying. Salinity induced 10–23% 21–47% reductions fresh respectively, across genotypes. Forage also declined by 11–33% NaCl 30–58% NaCl. Increased oxidative markers, proline, soluble carbohydrates, activity accompanied salinity. Genotypes exhibited diverse responses, Payam showing notable indicators Pegah GS4 demonstrated robust osmoregulation. In indices, Sepideh excelled outperformed high Our findings highlight importance combating stress, managing water-related maintaining ionic homeostasis sorghum’s resilience. Key like K/Na ratio, MDA, MSI, SOD, proline effectively differentiate between tolerant sensitive genotypes, offering valuable insights breeding. Salt-tolerant exhibit stable photosynthesis, improved function, membrane integrity through efficient osmotic regulation activity. capability enables them sustain performance, minimizing final product loss. The results suggest cultivating salt-tolerant saline areas increased sustainable production, emerging as promising candidates further testing salt-affected environments obtain reliable data.
