Soil salinity drastically hinders cotton productivity (Gossypium hirsutum), and fiber quality. The current study evaluated morpho-physiological biochemical responses of fifty genotypes under different levels (control, 12 dS/m, 17 dS/m) at the seedling stage. experiment was performed in a factorial complete randomized design with three replications. Significant genotype × treatment interactions were observed for most traits, including shoot length (SL), root (RL), fresh dry weight (FSW, DSW), (FRW, DRW), total soluble protein (TSP), proline content, antioxidant enzymes. Severe stress reduces (SL) (RL) along notable decreases biomass altered responses, increased activities indicating adaptation. Moreover, PCA Pearson's correlation analyses unveiled strong positive negative correlations among studied attributes while MGIDI assist determining salt-resilient applied treatments. best-performing control conditions G2, G8, G12, G7, G43, G30 showed resilience severe stress. effectively identified outstanding tolerance, such as G40, G26, across all levels. This research assists stress-tolerant using parameters is used precise method identifying accessions.

The Role of Trehalose in Improving Drought Tolerance in Wheat

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 211(3)

Опубликована: Март 30, 2025

ABSTRACT Drought stress severely impacts wheat growth, development and yield, significantly challenging global food security. Wheat is a staple crop worldwide, increasing its drought resilience crucial. Trehalose, stress‐protective disaccharide, crucial for enhancing tolerance. This review examines strategies strengthening wheat's through trehalose, including genetic modifications to enhance trehalose synthesis external applications. It discusses how influences vital physiological processes—such as osmotic adjustment, oxidative reduction cellular stability—that collectively boost Additionally, this explores nano‐trehalose formulations, particularly chitosan, innovative means improve delivery efficacy. The also synthesises recent findings, highlighting trehalose's role in supporting tolerance broader potential sustainable agriculture. Integrating trehalose‐based nanotechnology offers promising pathway developing drought‐resistant varieties, contributing production
