Saline-alkaline stress is a worldwide problem that threatens the growth and yield of crops. However, how crops adapt to saline-alkaline stress remains less studied. Here we show that saline-alkaline tolerance was compromised during tomato domestication and improvement, and a natural variation in the promoter of , an EF-hand Ca binding protein, contributed to the loss of saline-alkaline tolerance during tomato improvement. The biochemical and genetic data showed that is a positive regulator of saline-alkaline tolerance in tomato. The introgression line Pi-75, derived from a cross between wild LA1589 and cultivar E6203, containing the locus, showed stronger saline-alkaline tolerance than E6203. Pi-75 and LA1589 also showed enhanced saline-alkaline-induced expression than that of E6203. By sequence analysis, a natural variation was found in the promoter of and the accessions with the wild haplotype showed enhanced saline-alkaline tolerance compared with the cultivar haplotype. Our studies clarify the mechanism of saline-alkaline tolerance conferred by and provide an important natural variation in the promoter of for tomato breeding.

Given the challenges of overcrowded coastal aquaculture spaces and insufficient production, utilizing saline-alkaline water areas represents a vital strategy to alleviate these bottlenecks. Spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus), with its formidable osmoregulatory capabilities, is an ideal candidate to develop a saline-alkaline tolerant strain. In our study, genotypic and phenotypic data from 287 L.

Saline-alkaline salinity is recognized as one of the most severe abiotic stress factors, limiting plant growth and resulting in significant yield losses. MYB transcription factors (TFs) are crucial for plant tolerance to abiotic stress. However, the roles and regulatory mechanism of MYB TFs underlying saline-alkaline stress tolerance has not yet been investigated in Betula platyphylla.

The salinization of the water environment worldwide is increasing, which has brought great challenges to the sustainability of fish farming of aquatic animals. Three NaHCO concentration groups (0 mmol/L, 20 mmol/L, and 60 mmol/L) were set up in this study to investigate growth and metabolic differences between diploid and triploid crucian carp under saline-alkaline stresses. This study utilized UPLC-QTOF/MS metabolomics to analyze significant metabolites and metabolic pathways in the serum of diploid and triploid crucian carp, exposing them to different NaHCO concentrations in saline-alkaline habitats, elucidating the mechanism of their metabolic differences.
