Cadmium (Cd) treatments caused an inhibition in the net photosynthetic rate (P N) of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) plants, due to reduction stomatal conductance (g s) and pigment contents, as well alteration leaf structure. The decrease transpiration g s might result from Cd-induced xerophyte anatomic features leaves (i.e. thick lamina, upper epidermis, palisade mesophyll, high spongy thickness ratio, abundant small stomata). decline P N was independent impairment photosystem 2.

Strigolactones (SLs) are classified into plant hormones, playing a key role as mediator of growth in response to several abiotic stresses, including drought and salinity. However, the SLs cadmium (Cd)-induced stress plants is still unknown. The physiological responses switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) stressed 10 μmol L-1 Cd exogenous synthetic analog, GR24 were studied hydroponics. significantly caused adverse effects on root morphology, inhibited photosynthesis, but boosted lipid peroxidation...

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal element. It relatively easily absorbed by plants and enters the food chain, resulting in human exposure to Cd. Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.), an important forage cultivated widely temperate regions worldwide, has potential be used phytoremediation. However, genes regulating Cd translocation accumulation this species are not fully understood. Here, we optimized PacBio ISO-seq integrated it with RNA-seq construct de novo full-length...

This study aimed to evaluate the gene expression of HSP70 and HMA3 in switchgrass inoculated with plant-growth-promoting-bacteria (PGPB) under cadmium (Cd) stress observe benefit PGPB plant growth development. Plants were grown hydroponic culture treated inoculants: Pseudomonas grimontii, Pantoea vagans, veronii, fluorescens strains Bc09, So23, E02, Oj24, respectively. The experimental results revealed that genes expressed highly PGPB-inoculated plants Cd stress. In addition, was...

In recent years, dozens of Arabidopsis and rice CCCH-type zinc finger genes have been functionally studied, many which confer important traits, such as abiotic biotic stress tolerance, delayed leaf senescence improved plant architecture. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is an bioenergy crop. Identification agronomically and/or loci step for switchgrass molecular breeding. Annotating CCCH using translational genomics methods will help further the goal understanding genetics creating varieties....

Although zinc (Zn) is an essential element for normal plant growth, it phytotoxic at high concentrations. To identify oil crops that can be cultivated in Zn-contaminated soil biodiesel production, the ability of Zn tolerance and accumulation eight were evaluated under 200–800 mg kg−1 sand substrates (DW) conditions. Results showed all crops, except sunflower, could grow quite well 400–800 stress. Among them, hemp, flax, rapeseed small inhibitions growth photosynthetic activities, indicating...

A biological clock activated by oscillating signals, known as root clock, has been linked to lateral (LR) formation and is essential for regular LR spacing along the primary root. However, it remains unclear how this internal mechanism influenced environmental factors affect pattern. Here, we report that excessive cadmium (Cd) inhibits disrupting cap (LRC)-programmed cell death (PCD)-regulated clock. Cd restricts frequency of signal rather than its amplitude. This could be attributed...

WRKY genes and jasmonic acid (JA) play a crucial role in plants’ responses against biotic abiotic stress. However, the regulating mechanism of on strawberry fruits’ resistance Botrytis cinerea is largely unknown, few studies have been performed their effect JA-mediated defense B. cinerea. This study explored FaWRKY25 Results showed that JA content decreased significantly as fruits matured, whereas expression rose substantially, which led to heightened susceptibility strawberries. External...

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic heavy metals and difficult to be removed from contaminated soil water. Italian ryegrass ( Lolium multiflorum ), as an energy crop, exhibits a valuable potential develop Cd polluted sites due its use biofuel rather than food forage. Previously, via screening for Cd-tolerant ryegrass, two extreme cultivars (IdyII Harukaze) with high low tolerance during seed germination, respectively, were selected. However, underlying mechanism was not well investigated....

Abstract The cadmium (Cd) tolerance of 21 Italian ryegrass ( Lolium multiflorum Lam.) were investigated in this study by evaluating the process seed germination on exposure to excess Cd. Excess Cd resulted significant growth inhibition, particularly root growth. relation between concentrations and inhibition rate or shoot elongation can be well described a logarithmic equation. maximum values IC 50 (Cd concentration when decreased 50% compared with control) observed ‘Idy II ’, whereas...

Subcellular fractions and the chemical forms of cadmium (Cd) reflect its level toxicity to plants; however, these effects exogenous glutathione (GSH) are poorly understood. We exposed two Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) cultivars (IdyII Harukaze) 50 µM Cd or 200 GSH investigate effect on uptake, subcellular compartments, forms. significantly inhibited plant growth, while supplementation decreased this inhibition. The application improved concentration in roots but reduced that shoots...
