Phytohormone ethylene is involved in salt stress response. As a key regulator of ethylene signaling, ethylene response factors (ERFs) have been reported to regulate salt stress tolerance. However, there are few studies on the relationship between ERFs in salt stress response. In this study, we isolated a salt-responsive gene MdERF4. Overexpression of MdERF4 negatively regulated salt stress tolerance and ethylene response, which was contrary to that of MdERF3 transgenic lines. Biochemical assays showed that MdERF4 directly bound to the DRE motif of MdERF3 promoter and suppressed its transcription. In addition, genetic analysis revealed that MdERF4 was involved in ethylene-mediated salt tolerance. Taken together, these findings demonstrated the transcriptional regulation between MdERF4 and MdERF3 in salt stress response and provided new insight into the ethylene-modulated salt stress response.

Salt stress causes ion toxicity in plant cells and limits plant growth and crop productivity. Sodium ions (Na+) are transported out of the cell and sequestered in the vacuole for detoxification under salt stress. The salt excretion system is controlled by the SALT OVERLY SENSITIVE (SOS) pathway, which consists of the calcium sensors SOS3 and SOS3-LIKE CALCIUM BINDING PROTEIN 8, the protein kinase SOS2, and the plasma membrane Na+/H+ antiporter SOS1.

Hypertension (HTN) is recognized as a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular deaths in South Asia. Our aim was to furnish a comprehensive analysis of HTN prevalence, trends, control efforts, awareness, barriers in care delivery and associated factors, based on nationally derived evidence in Sri Lanka. A systematic search of online databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus), local journals and repositories yielded 6704 results, of which 106 were included.

Introduction: Saltwater intrusion poses a serious risk to global food security. As a soil amendment, biochar mitigates the negative effects of saltwater intrusion in rice, yet the beneficial effects on agricultural productivity with different exposure times and salt concentrations have not been fully examined.
Methods: A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of 30% (w/w) rice husk biochar on the growth, ion accumulation, and yield of the Phitsanulok 2 rice cultivar under salt stress due to saltwater intrusion.

Early language is shaped by parent-child interactions and has been examined in relation to maternal psychopathology and parenting stress. Minimal work has examined the relation between maternal emotion dysregulation and toddler vocabulary development. This longitudinal study examined associations between maternal emotion dysregulation prenatally, maternal everyday stress at 7 months postpartum, and toddler vocabulary at 18 months.

Roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil, support the plant's aboveground organs, and detect environmental changes, making them crucial targets for improving crop productivity. Roots are particularly sensitive to soil salinity, a major abiotic stress that poses a serious threat to global agriculture. In response to salt stress, plants suppress root meristem size, thus reducing root growth; however, the mechanisms underlying this growth restriction remain unclear.
