Soil salinization is a severe abiotic stress that negatively affects plant growth and development, leading to physiological abnormalities ultimately threatening global food security. The condition arises from excessive salt accumulation in the soil, primarily due anthropogenic activities such as irrigation, improper land uses, overfertilization. presence of Na⁺, Cl-, other related ions soil above normal levels can disrupt cellular functions lead alterations essential metabolic processes seed germination photosynthesis, causing damage tissues even death worst circumstances. To counteract effects stress, plants have developed various mechanisms, including modulating ion homeostasis, compartmentalization export, biosynthesis osmoprotectants. Recent advances genomic proteomic technologies enabled identification genes proteins involved salt-tolerance mechanisms. This review provides short overview impact salinity on underlying mechanisms salt-stress tolerance, particularly salt-stress-responsive associated with these aims at summarizing recent our understanding tolerance providing key background knowledge for improving crops' which could contribute yield quality enhancement major crops grown under saline conditions or arid semiarid regions world.

In dry and semi-arid areas, salinity is the most serious hazard to agriculture, which can affect plant growth development adversely. Over-accumulation of Na+ in organs cause an osmotic effect imbalance nutrient uptake. However, its harmful impact vary depending on genotype, period exposure stress, stage, concentration content salt. To overcome unfavorable salinity, plants have developed two kinds tolerance strategies based either minimizing entrance salts by roots or administering their diffusion.Having sufficient knowledge accumulation mechanisms understanding function genes involved transport activity will present a new option enhance vegetables related food security arid regions. Considerable improvements be employed for breeding with boosted yield performance under salt stress. A conventional method demands exhaustive research work crops, while techniques molecular breeding, such as cutting-edge tools CRISPR technology are now available economically important give fair chance genetically modified organisms.Therefore, this review highlights tolerance, various methods many sources genetic variation inducing

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.

Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, one of the most important dryland cereal crops, is moderately tolerant soil salinity, a rapidly increasing agricultural problem due to inappropriate irrigation management and salt water intrusion into crop lands as result climate change. The mechanisms for sorghum’s tolerance high salinity have not been elucidated. This study tested whether sorghum plants adapt stress via stomatal regulation or osmotic adjustment. were treated with seven concentrations NaCl (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 mM). Leaf gas exchange (net CO2 assimilation (A), transpiration (Tr); conductance vapor (gs), intrinsic use efficiency (WUE)), (Ψw), (Ψo), turgor Ψt potentials evaluated at 40 days after imposition treatments. Plants exhibited decreased A, gs, Tr whereas WUE was affected by treatment. Additionally, adjustment salinity. Thus, appears both regulation.

Soil salinization is a serious concern across the globe that negatively affecting crop productivity. Recently, biochar received attention for mitigating adverse impacts of salinity. Salinity stress induces osmotic, ionic, and oxidative damages disturb physiological biochemical functioning nutrient water uptake, leading to reduction in plant growth development.

Functionality based on the biological activity of sorghum such as antioxidant is known worldwide for its excellence. In this study, we investigated reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, phenol compounds, changes in gene expression seed cells collected from five countries (Australia, former Soviet Union, USA, Sudan, Guadeloupe). Sorghum seeds were obtained 12 genetic resources (K159041, K159042, K159078, K159081, K159088, K159089, K159093, K159097, K159100, K159096, K159048, K159077). ROS was analyzed using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) 2,20-azinobis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate (ABTS). K159097 showed high values 33.52 ± 0.70 μg/mL 271.06 13.41 (ABTS), respectively. The reducing power improved a concentration-dependent manner, 10 resources, except K159078 power. K159042 had highest content (231 2.17 mg·GAE/g), K159081 (67.71 5.38 mg·QE/g). Among six compounds (protocatechuic acid, caffeic p-coumaric ferulic taxifolin, naringenin) analyzed, compound with taxifolin (203.67 4.99 mg/L K159093). K159041, K159048 levels superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase 1 (APX1), catalase (CAT), which are indicators activity. An evaluation diversity provided useful information physicochemical content, cells, suggesting that can be used biomaterial natural resources.
