Thriving under Salinity: Growth, Ecophysiology and Proteomic Insights into the Tolerance Mechanisms of Obligate Halophyte .

Studies on obligate halophytes combining eco-physiological techniques and proteomic analysis are crucial for understanding salinity tolerance mechanisms but are limited. We thus examined growth, water relations, ion homeostasis, photosynthesis, oxidative stress mitigation and proteomic responses of an obligate halophyte to increasing salinity under semi-hydroponic culture. Most biomass parameters increased under moderate (300 mmol L of NaCl) salinity, while high (900 mmol L of NaCl) salinity caused some reduction in biomass parameters.

Bio-inspired synthesis of silver nanoparticles usingand its application as antibacterial additive in glass ionomer cement.

Nanotechnology has gained immense popularity and observed rapid development due to the remarkable physio-chemical properties of nanoparticles (NPs) and related nanomaterials. The green production of NPs has many benefits over traditional techniques because the current procedures are expensive, time-consuming, and involve harmful substances that limit their applicability. This study aimed to use a novel green source, the(SI) plant, which is commonly found in Central Asia and known for its medicinal properties as a reducing and stabilizing agent for the synthesis of AgNPs.

The combination of salt and drought benefits selective ion absorption and nutrient use efficiency of halophyte .

Soil salinity and water deficit often occur concurrently, but understanding their combined effects on plants' ion regulation is limited. With aim to identify if introducing drought with salinity alleviates salt stress's ionic effects, - a halophytic grass- was grown in the presence of single and combined stressors, i.e.

Biomass Production and Predicted Ethanol Yield Are Linked with Optimum Photosynthesis in under Salinity and Drought Conditions.

Plant photosynthesis and biomass production are closely associated traits but critical to unfavorable environmental constraints such as salinity and drought. The relationships among stress tolerance, photosynthetic mechanisms, biomass and ethanol yield were assessed in . The growth parameters, leaf gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence of were studied when irrigated with the control and 100 and 300 mM NaCl in a nutrient solution and water deficit conditions (drought, at 50% water holding capacity).

Coumarin-Mediated Growth Regulations, Antioxidant Enzyme Activities, and Photosynthetic Efficiency of Under Saline Conditions.

Secondary metabolites, such as phenolic compounds, play an important role in alleviating salinity-induced negative effects in plants. The present study focused on seed priming and foliar application of a potent phenolic compound, coumarin, to induce salinity tolerance in var. SS-77.

Combined Transcriptome and Proteome Analysis to Elucidate Salt Tolerance Strategies of the Halophyte Retz.

, a C4 monocot, has the potential to reclaim saline and drylands and to be utilized as fodder and forage. Its adaptability to survive saline stress has been proven with eco-physiological and biochemical studies. However, little is known about its molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance.

Effects of Salinity Stress on Chloroplast Structure and Function.

Salinity is a growing problem affecting soils and agriculture in many parts of the world. The presence of salt in plant cells disrupts many basic metabolic processes, contributing to severe negative effects on plant development and growth. This review focuses on the effects of salinity on chloroplasts, including the structures and function of these organelles.

Synthesis and Characterization of Na-Zeolites from Textile Waste Ash and Its Application for Removal of Lead (Pb) from Wastewater.

Massive production of carcinogenic fly ash waste poses severe threats to water bodies due to its disposal into drains and landfills. Fly ash can be a source of raw materials for the synthesis of adsorbents. Rag fly ash as a new class of raw materials could be a cheap source of Al and Si for the synthesis of Na-zeolites.

Salinity induced alterations in photosynthetic and oxidative regulation are ameliorated as a function of salt secretion.

Ion secretion facilitates recretohalophytes to tolerate saline and drought conditions but its relative contribution to the survival of many species remains poorly understood. Tamarix chinensis has high potential for restoration of saline deteriorated lands. The water management and high salt tolerance of the plant have highlighted the need to determine the strategies that govern these mechanisms.

Enhances Net Photosynthesis, Water Use Efficiency, and Growth of Wheat ( L) under Salt Stress.

Soil salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses limiting plant growth and productivity. The breeding of salt-tolerant wheat cultivars has substantially relieved the adverse effects of salt stress. Complementing these cultivars with growth-promoting microbes has the potential to stimulate and further enhance their salt tolerance.

Low Salinity Improves Photosynthetic Performance in Under Drought Stress.

Salinity and drought are two often simultaneously occurring abiotic stresses that limit the production of food crops worldwide. This study aimed to distinguish between the separate and combined impacts of drought and salinity on the plant response. was cultivated in a greenhouse under the following growth conditions: control, 100 mM NaCl (100) and 300 mM NaCl (300) salinity, drought (D; 30% irrigation), and two combinations of salinity and drought (100 + D and 300 + D).

Salt induced modulations in antioxidative defense system of Desmostachya bipinnata.

This study addressed the interactions between salt stress and the antioxidant responses of a halophytic grass, Desmostachya bipinnata. Plants were grown in a semi-hydroponic system and treated with different NaCl concentrations (0 mM, 100 mM, 400 mM) for a month. ROS degradation enzyme activities were stimulated by addition of NaCl.

Differential protein expression reveals salt tolerance mechanisms of Desmostachya bipinnata at moderate and high levels of salinity.

A proteomics approach was used to investigate salt tolerance mechanisms of Desmostachya bipinnata (L.) Stapf. Plants were subjected to 0mM (control), 100mM (moderate) and 400mM (high) NaCl.

Effects of salinity and ascorbic acid on growth, water status and antioxidant system in a perennial halophyte.

Salinity causes oxidative stress in plants by enhancing production of reactive oxygen species, so that an efficient antioxidant system, of which ascorbic acid (AsA) is a key component, is an essential requirement of tolerance. However, antioxidant responses of plants to salinity vary considerably among species. Limonium stocksii is a sub-tropical halophyte found in the coastal marshes from Gujarat (India) to Karachi (Pakistan) but little information exists on its salt resistance.
