GRAS transcription factors belong to the plant-specific protein family. They are not only involved in plant growth and development but also in plant responses to a variety of abiotic stresses. However, to date, the SCL32(SCARECROW-like 32) gene conferring the desired resistance to salt stresses has not been reported in plants. Here, ThSCL32, a homologous gene of ArabidopsisthalianaAtSCL32, was identified. ThSCL32 was highly induced by salt stress in Tamarix hispida. ThSCL32 overexpression in T. hispida gave rise to improved salt tolerance. ThSCL32-silenced T. hispida plants were more sensitive to salt stress. RNA-seq analysis of transient transgenic T. hispida overexpressing ThSCL32 revealed significantly enhanced ThPHD3 (prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain 3 protein) gene expression. ChIP-PCR further verified that ThSCL32 probably binds to the novel cis-element SBS (ACGTTG) in the promoter of ThPHD3 to activate its expression. In brief, our results suggest that the ThSCL32 transcription factor is involved in salt tolerance in T. hispida by enhancing ThPHD3 expression.

Salinization is a significant global issue causes irreversible damage to plants by reducing osmotic potential, inhibiting seed germination, and impeding water uptake. Seed germination, a crucial step towards the seedling stage is regulated by several hormones and genes, with the balance between abscisic acid and gibberellin being the key mechanism that either promotes or inhibits this process. Additionally, mucilage, a gelatinous substance, is known to provide protection against drought, herbivory, soil adhesion, and seed sinking.

Purpose: Controversy exists regarding the optimal imaging modality (magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, stress radiographs) for identification of patients with grossly unstable thumb metacarpophalangeal (MCP) ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries or Stener lesions. We characterize a radiographic sign for this purpose. The "displaced fleck sign" is a small avulsion fracture from the ulnar proximal phalanx base that is displaced proximal to the MCP joint line.

Large-scale restoration projects are an exciting and often untapped opportunity to use an experimental approach to inform ecosystem management and test ecological theory. In our $10M tidal marsh restoration project, we installed over 17,000 high marsh plants to increase cover and diversity, using these plantings in a large-scale experiment to test the benefits of clustering and soil amendments across a stress gradient. Clustered plantings have the potential to outperform widely spaced ones if plants alter conditions in ways that decrease stress for close neighbors.

Non-halophytic plants are highly susceptible to salt stress, but numerous studies have shown that halo-tolerant microorganisms can alleviate this stress by producing phytohormones and enhancing nutrient availability. This study aimed to identify and evaluate native microbial communities from salt-affected regions to boost black gram () resilience against salinity, while improving plant growth, nitrogen uptake, and nodulation in saline environments. Six soil samples were collected from a salt-affected region in eastern Uttar Pradesh, revealing high electrical conductivity (EC) and pH, along with low nutrient availability.
