AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focuses on the impact of salt stress on the quality of an important vegetable and identifies 35 genes related to plant development and salt tolerance from a genome database.
  • Most gene expression levels were found to be higher at lower salinity levels compared to control and higher salinity treatments, with significant expression in the stem.
  • Overexpressing specific genes improved seed germination and flowering time, enhancing salt tolerance in the plant, offering insights into gene functions under salt stress in amaranth.

Article Abstract

is an important vegetable, and its quality is affected by salt stress. () contribute to plant development and tolerance to salt stress. In this study, 35 genes were identified from a genome database for , including 9 , 5 , and 21 genes. Furthermore, in , the expression levels of most genes were higher at a low salinity level (50 or 100 mM NaCl) than in the control or 200 mM NaCl treatment. Levels of most genes were elevated in the stem. Moreover, was homologous to , which is involved in the regulation of sodium homeostasis and salt stress response. After overexpression in , seed germination was better, and the flowering time was earlier than that of wild-type plants. Additionally, the overexpression of in improved salt tolerance. These results reveal the roles of genes under salt stress and provide valuable information on this gene family in amaranth.

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.

Biochar Amendment Alleviates the Risk of High-Salinity Saltwater Intrusion for the Growth and Yield of Rice L.).

Recent Adv Food Nutr Agric

January 2025

Environmental Research Institute, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, 10330, Thailand.

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.
