Genetic Variation in Wheat Root Transcriptome Responses to Salinity: A Comparative Study of Tolerant and Sensitive Genotypes

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 26(1), P. 331 - 331

Published: Jan. 2, 2025

Salt tolerance is a critical trait for plant survival and productivity in saline environments. Development of salt tolerant crops practical strategy addressing soil salinity issues. In this study, RNA-Seq analysis was performed using two wheat cultivars with contrasting (Neixiang188, Barra, sensitive) at 6 h 24 after treatment to determine the genetic variations reflected RNA expression patterns identify key genes associated tolerance. Our results revealed that there were 2983 upregulated 1091 downregulated differentially expressed (DEGs), which found common accessions. Meanwhile, 529 DEGs subjected GO function annotation, KEGG enrichment, protein–protein interaction (PPI) network prediction. Finally, theoretical framework outlining mechanisms Neixiang188 proposed. It can be inferred possesses superior ion homeostasis, ROS detoxification, osmotic adjustment abilities compared Barra when stress. The present research sheds light on foundation offers candidate manipulation. insights enhance comprehension molecular underlying stress responses could guide future breeding efforts improving crops.

Salinity stress is a major abiotic factor that adversely affects plant growth and development. This study investigated the physiological molecular responses of Brassica rapa L. ssp. Pekinensis to salinity by subjecting seedlings varying concentrations NaCl. Physiological analysis revealed significant wilting, chlorosis, marked reduction in chlorophyll carotenoid contents NaCl-treated seedlings, indicating impaired photosynthetic efficiency oxidative mitigation. RNA-seq identified extensive transcriptional reprogramming, with 6693 10,280 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) Z150 Z300 treatments, respectively, compared control group. DEGs were clustered into six expression trends, sustained up-regulation Clusters 2 6 down-regulation Cluster 3. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment highlighted involvement these responses. Key encoding heat shock proteins, peroxidases, glutathione S-transferases, transcription factors significantly induced under stress, suggesting their roles adaptation. Furthermore, GO KEGG analyses associated photosynthesis carbon metabolism, disruption critical pathways. Weighted Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) hub genes, such as histidine synthase low-density receptor-like protein, potentially central Additionally, metabolism was inhibited, key biosynthesis pathway. RT-qPCR validation confirmed reliability data. Collectively, findings provide comprehensive insights mechanisms underlying response B. highlighting potential targets for improving tolerance crops.

Nutrient uptake, growth, and physiology of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) varieties under NaCl stress

Soil & Environment, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 43(1), P. 01 - 13

Published: June 1, 2024

Soil salinity and poor-quality irrigation water in Florida, USA, have become major issues for agricultural crops. Since Florida is one of the producers cabbage country, soil salinization may significantly impact this industry. Chinese varieties are very popular farming community widely cultivated. In present study, four (‘Bilko’, ‘Red Dragon’, ‘Rubicon’, ‘Minuet’) were tested their tolerance, agronomic, physiological, nutritional responses to with 0, 100, 200 mM NaCl solutions. The results showed that has decreased growth plants, ‘Bilko’ being most tolerant one, showing higher production both control salt stress conditions. Although increased electrolyte leakage plant leaves, it no significant effect on proline contents, chlorophyll contents tend increase stress, highlighting physiological all varieties. Among there differences, but a few treatment groups decrease nutrient contents. treatments caused accumulation Na Cl elements making factor growth.
