The effects of salinity on the accumulation and toxicity of microplastics (MPs) in mangrove invertebrates are still scarcely described. We assessed the accumulation and osmoregulatory toxicity of the estuarine fiddler crab Minuca rapax, exposed to 25 mg L of high-density polyethylene MPs at three combinations of osmotic media (hypo- 6, iso- 25, or hyper-35 psu), in 1, 3 and 5 days of exposure. Gills accumulated more MPs than the digestive tract (DT) and muscle. MP accumulation in the gills and DT was enhanced at 6 psu and reduced at 21 and 35 psu after 1 day of exposure. Muscle MP accumulation was not affected by salinity or exposure time. Osmotic regulation was unaffected by MP exposure in any exposure time. Our findings demonstrate that M. rapax accumulates MPs in gills and DT depending on the salinity and that MPs are not osmoregulatory toxicant for this species.

Salt stress is one of the abiotic stresses affecting crop quality and yield, and the application of exogenous brassinosteroids (BRs) can be used in response to salt stress. However, the function of BR in tea plants under salt stress remains to be elucidated. This study investigated the effects of exogenous spraying of BR on the malondialdehyde, soluble sugar, soluble protein, and antioxidant enzyme activities in tea plants under salt stress and explored the expression changes in genes related to the synthesis pathways of proline and secondary metabolites (flavonoids and theanine).

Photosynthesis is essential for the accumulation of organic compounds in plant leaves. Study of photosynthesis in the leaves of Broussonetia papyrifera is crucial for enhancing its biomass production, growth, and development. Here, we cloned the SikPsaF gene associated with photosynthesis from Saussurea involucrata and constructed a vector that was introduced into B.

Abiotic stress has become a major challenge for lily crop growth, development, yield and quality under irregular climate and precipitation trends. Molecular breeding is one of the most effective methods for developing highly stress-resistant cultivars. Previous studies revealed that miR396b and its target gene LdPMAT1 are involved in drought resistance, and in lily silencing miR396b significantly enhances drought resistance and LdPMAT1 expression.
