Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how seed treatment and silicon application affected lettuce plants under different salinity levels.
- Results showed that salinity significantly harmed plant health, as indicated by reduced leaf number, head weight, and chlorophyll levels.
- However, applying silicon improved various growth metrics and reduced oxidative stress markers, indicating a protective effect against salinity stress.
Generally, under normal conditions plants are resistant to many of the incompatible pathogens (viral, fungal and bacterial), and this is named "non-host resistance phenomenon". To understand this phenomenon, different types of food crops (faba bean, squash, barley and wheat) were inoculated with compatible and incompatible pathogens. Strong resistance symptoms were observed in the non-host/incompatible pathogen combinations as compared with host/compatible pathogen combinations, which showed severe infection (susceptibility).

The SUMO proteins have a similar 3-dimensional structure as that of ubiquitin proteins and occur through a cascade of enzymatic reactions. In the present study we have cloned a new SUMO gene from Tomato ( L.
