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.

Selenium foliar application alleviates salinity stress in sweet william (Dianthus barbatus L.) by enhancing growth and reducing oxidative damage

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(1)

Abstract Salinity is considered as one of the most important environmental stresses in plant growth and productivity around world by arid semi-arid areas; therefore, development an efficient strategy against salt stress crops urgently needed. Application Se thus appeared to be approach for improvement under saline condition. This study investigated effects salinity applying different NaCl levels (0, 30, 60, 90 mM) combination with foliar application at 5, 10, 15 µM) on morpho-physiological biochemical traits Dianthus barbatus . Done a factorial design completely randomized layout three replications, findings showed that caused significant reduction growth, increased electrolyte leakage malondialdehyde levels, activities antioxidant enzymes. At increase defects among treatments, positive level mM was recorded, whereas imposition improved some aspects: phenolic flavonoid contents; capacity boosted Se-stressed plants. Indeed, 10µM treatments controls, enhancing tolerance reflected. These evidences show cell membrane stabilization through maintaining compounds various protective functions coupled their enzyme low doses. In conclusion, foliage effective method enhance plant’s sweet william could turn out sustained solution agricultural production conditions.

Multi-Omic Advances in Olive Tree (Olea europaea subsp. europaea L.) Under Salinity: Stepping Towards ‘Smart Oliviculture’

Biology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(3), С. 287 - 287

Опубликована: Март 11, 2025

Soil salinisation is threatening crop sustainability worldwide, mainly due to anthropogenic climate change. Molecular mechanisms developed counteract salinity have been intensely studied in model plants. Nevertheless, the economically relevant olive tree (Olea europaea subsp. L.), being highly exposed soil salinisation, deserves a specific review extract recent genomic advances that support known morphological and biochemical make it relative salt-tolerant crop. A comprehensive list of 98 cultivars classified by salt tolerance provided, together with available genomes genes be involved response. Na+ Cl– exclusion leaves retention roots seem most prominent adaptations, but cell wall thickening antioxidant changes are also required for tolerant Several post-translational modifications proteins emerging as key factors, microbiota amendments, making treatments biostimulants chemical compounds promising approach enable cultivation already salinised soils. Low high-throughput transcriptomics metagenomics results obtained from salt-sensitive -tolerant cultivars, future advantages engineering metacaspases programmed death autophagy pathways rapidly raise or rootstocks discussed. The overview bioinformatic tools focused on tree, combined machine learning approaches studying plant stress multi-omics perspective, indicates development adapted progressing. This could pave way ‘smart oliviculture’, promoting more productive sustainable practices under stress.

Role of serotonin in plant stress responses: Quo vadis?

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 18, 2025

ABSTRACT Serotonin (5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT)) is a pineal hormone and secondary metabolite related to various hormonal physiological functions at the organ, tissue, cellular levels. It considered increasingly important in regulating animal behavior, but function of serotonin plants far less known. According recent research, vital for plant growth, development, stress responses, achieved through transcriptional phytohormonal interplay. Specifically, this review addresses critical gaps understanding serotonin's by examining its biosynthesis, metabolism, multifaceted role mitigating both abiotic stresses (salinity, drought, heat, cold, heavy metals) as well biotic challenges (pathogens, pests, herbivores). As pivotal player, it engages variety significant molecular interactions, including those with reactive oxygen nitrogen species (RONS), phytohormones such auxin, abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic (SA), jasmonic (JA), ethylene (ET), cytokinin (CK). Advances serotonin‐related research are anticipated offer valuable basis uncovering regulatory pathways which impacts resilience crops against stress.
