Article Synopsis
- Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is identified as a beneficial donor of nitric oxide that enhances plant resistance against abiotic stress, specifically aiding in alleviating cadmium (Cd) toxicity in tobacco plants.
- The study demonstrated that 150 μM SNP effectively restored stress tolerance indicators in cadmium-stressed seedlings and promoted the accumulation of antioxidants while activating key antioxidant enzymes.
- Additionally, SNP improved Cd sequestration in the root cell wall, reducing its translocation to shoots and converting it into less toxic forms, which could inform strategies for developing low-cadmium tobacco.
The SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein-like (SPL) family genes play an important role in regulating plant growth and development, synthesis of secondary metabolites, and resistance to stress. Understanding of the role of the family in tobacco is still limited. In this study, 42 genes were identified from the genome of the tobacco variety TN90.
