Exogenous ascorbic acid as a potent regulator of antioxidants, osmo-protectants, and lipid peroxidation in pea under salt stress

BMC Plant Biology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 24(1)

Published: April 5, 2024

Abstract Pea ( Pisum sativum L.), a globally cultivated leguminous crop valued for its nutritional and economic significance, faces critical challenge of soil salinity, which significantly hampers growth production worldwide. A pot experiment was carried out in the Botanical Garden, The Islamia University Bahawalpur to alleviate negative impacts sodium chloride (NaCl) on pea through foliar application ascorbic acid (AsA). Two varieties Meteor (V1) Sarsabz (V2) were tested against i.e. 0 mM NaCl (Control) 100 NaCl. Three levels (Control), 5 10 applied spray. experimental design completely randomized (CRD) with three replicates. Salt stress resulted suppression growth, photosynthetic activity, yield attributes plants. However, AsA treatments effectively alleviated these inhibitory effects. Under conditions, treatment led substantial increase chlorophyll (41.1%), chl. b (56.1%), total contents (44.6%) carotenoids (58.4%). salt stress, there an Na + accumulation, lipid peroxidation, generation reactive oxygen species (ROS). increased proline (26.9%), endogenous (23.1%), soluble sugars (17.1%), phenolics (29.7%), enzymatic antioxidants SOD (22.3%), POD (34.1%) CAT (39%) both under stress. Salinity reduced while foliarly pod length (38.7%), number pods per plant (40%) seed weight (45.2%). To sum up, salt-induced damage plants by enhancing pigments, non-enzymatic activities, maintaining ion homeostasis, reducing excessive ROS accumulation limitation peroxidation. Overall, V2 (Sarsabz) performed better as compared V1 (Meteor).

Creating Climate-Resilient Crops by Increasing Drought, Heat, and Salt Tolerance

Plants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(9), P. 1238 - 1238

Published: April 29, 2024

Over the years, changes in agriculture industry have been inevitable, considering need to feed growing population. As world population continues grow, food security has become challenged. Resources such as arable land and freshwater scarce due quick urbanization developing countries anthropologic activities; expanding agricultural production areas is not an option. Environmental climatic factors drought, heat, salt stresses pose serious threats worldwide. Therefore, utilize remaining water effectively efficiently maximize yield support increasing demand crucial. It essential develop climate-resilient crops that will outperform traditional under any abiotic stress conditions salt, well these combinations. This review provides a glimpse of how plant breeding evolved overcome harsh environmental what future would be like.

Zinc and Silicon Nano-Fertilizers Influence Ionomic and Metabolite Profiles in Maize to Overcome Salt Stress

Plants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(9), P. 1224 - 1224

Published: April 28, 2024

Salinity stress is a major factor affecting the nutritional and metabolic profiles of crops, thus hindering optimal yield productivity. Recent advances in nanotechnology propose an avenue for use nano-fertilizers as potential solution better nutrient management mitigation. This study aimed to evaluate benefits conventional (nano-Zn/nano-Si) on maize subcellular level changes its ionomic under salt conditions. Zinc silicon were applied both nano-fertilizer-using farms (100 mM NaCl) normal Different ions, sugars, organic acids (OAs) determined using ion chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS). The results revealed significant improvements different OAs, other maize. Nanoparticles boosted sugar metabolism, evidenced by increased glucose, fructose, sucrose concentrations, improved uptake, indicated higher nitrate, sulfate, phosphate levels. Particularly, effectively limited Na accumulation saline conditions enhanced maize’s tolerance. Furthermore, nano-treatments optimized potassium-to-sodium ratio, critical maintaining ionic homeostasis With growing threat salinity global food security, these findings highlight urgent need further development implementation effective solutions like application mitigating negative impact plant growth However, this controlled environment limits direct applicability field needs future research, particularly long-term trials, confirm such against their economic viability towards sustainable agriculture.

Growing Salicornia europaea L. with Saline Hydroponic or Aquaculture Wastewater

Horticulturae, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(2), P. 196 - 196

Published: Feb. 19, 2024

Among halophyte plants, Salicornia species (also known as glasswort or sea asparagus) are increasingly grown in open fields and greenhouses for edible non-edible purposes. Their salinity tolerance makes it possible to irrigate plants with saline waters even seawater, which cannot be used by other crop species. In this work, S. europaea (L.) was cultivated pots under the typical climatic conditions of fall season Mediterranean region irrigated non-saline standard nutrient solution (SNS) wastewater discharged from a greenhouse semi-closed hydroponic (substrate) culture tomato saltwater recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) Gilthead bream (Spaurus aurata L., such after dilution (50:50) SNS. Plant growth not significantly affected composition irrigation water, while higher antioxidant capacity (measured using DPPH assay) concentration photosynthetic pigments, phenols, flavonoids, ascorbic acid were found shoots SNS than those wastewater. The level lipid peroxidation H2O2 production increased also showed activity superoxide dismutase lower catalase. These results suggest that can moderate high crops RASs, salt is strictly required Using result oxidative stress improves shoot quality europaea.
