Effects of Exogenous Spermidine on Seed Germination and Physiological Metabolism of Rice Under NaCl Stress.

Salt stress is one of the principal abiotic stresses limiting agricultural production and seriously inhibiting seed germination rates. This study selected the salt-tolerant rice variety HD961 and the salt-sensitive rice variety 9311 as experimental materials to investigate the physiological and metabolic effects of exogenous Spd seed priming on rice seeds and seedlings under NaCl stress. The experiment involved treating rice seeds with 0.

Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analysis of salinity tolerance in response to foliar application of choline chloride in rice ( L.).

Introduction: Salt stress is a major abiotic stress that affects crop growth and productivity. Choline Chloride (CC) has been shown to enhance salt tolerance in various crops, but the underlying molecular mechanisms in rice remain unclear.

Methods: To investigate the regulatory mechanism of CC-mediated salt tolerance in rice, we conducted morpho-physiological, metabolomic, and transcriptomic analyses on two rice varieties (WSY, salt-tolerant, and HHZ, salt-sensitive) treated with 500 mg·L CC under 0.

Photosynthetic mechanisms underlying NaCl-induced salinity tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa).

Background: Salinity stress is an environmental constraint that normally develops concurrently under field conditions, resulting in drastic limitation of rice plant growth and grain productivity. The objective of this study was to explore the alleviating effects of NaCl pre-treatment on rice seedlings as well as the salt tolerance mechanisms by evaluating morph-physiological traits.

Results: Variety Huanghuazhan, either soaked in distilled water or 25 mg/L Prohexadione calcium (Pro-Ca), were first hardened with varying concentrations of NaCl solutions (0 and 50 mM NaCl), and then subjected to varying degrees of salt stress (0 and 100 mM NaCl), indicated by S0, S1, S2 and S3, respectively.
