While the importance of cell type specificity in plant adaptive responses is widely accepted, only a limited number studies have addressed this issue at functional level. We combined electrophysiological, imaging, and biochemical techniques to reveal physiological mechanisms conferring higher sensitivity apical root cells salinity barley (Hordeum vulgare). show that application apex arrests growth highly tissue- treatment-specific manner. Although salinity-induced transient net Na+ uptake...
Plant salinity tolerance is a physiologically complex trait, with numerous mechanisms contributing to it. In this work, we show that the ability of leaf mesophyll retain K(+) represents an important and essentially overlooked component mechanism. The strong positive correlation between retention under saline conditions (quantified by magnitude NaCl-induced efflux from mesophyll) overall (relative fresh weight and/or survival or damage stress) was found while screening 46 barley (Hordeum...
Salinity stress tolerance in durum wheat is strongly associated with a plant's ability to control Na+ delivery the shoot. Two loci, termed Nax1 and Nax2, were recently identified as being critical for this process sodium transporters HKT1;4 HKT1;5 respective candidate genes. These retrieve from xylem, thus limiting rates of transport root In work, we show that Nax loci also affect activity expression levels SOS1-like Na+/H+ exchanger both cortical stelar tissues. Net efflux measured isolated...
Time-dependent kinetics of xylem Na+ loading was investigated using a large number barley genotypes contrasting in their salinity tolerance. Salt-sensitive varieties were less efficient controlling and showed gradual increase the content over time. To understand underlying ionic molecular mechanisms, net fluxes Ca2+ , K+ measured from parenchyma tissue response to H2 O2 ABA; both them associated with stress signalling. Our results indicate that NADPH oxidase-mediated apoplastic production...
Soil salinity is a worldwide issue that affects wheat production. A comprehensive understanding of salt-tolerance mechanisms and the selection reliable screening indices are crucial for breeding salt-tolerant cultivars. In this study, 30 genotypes (obtained from rapid 96 original varieties) were chosen to investigate existing methods clarify tolerance in wheat. Ten-day-old seedlings treated with 150 mM NaCl. Eighteen agronomic physiological parameters measured. The results indicated effects...
Abstract Soil salinity is a worldwide issue that affects agricultural production. The understanding of mechanisms by which plants tolerate salt stress crucial for breeding varieties tolerance. In this work, large number wheat ( Triticum aestivum and turgidum ) cultivars were screened using broad range physiological indices. A regression analysis was then used to evaluate the relative contribution each these traits towards overall general, most bread wheats showed better Na + exclusion...
Salinity tolerance is a complex trait – both physiologically and genetically the issue of which mechanism or has bigger contribution towards overall plant performance still hotly discussed in literature. In this work, broad range barley (Hordeum vulgare L. Hordeum spontaneum L.) genotypes contrasting salinity stress were used to investigate causal link between stomatal characteristics, tissue ion relations, tolerance. total, 46 (including two wild barleys) grown under glasshouse conditions...
Tissue stiffness plays a crucial role in regulating morphogenesis. The ability to measure and monitor the dynamic progression of tissue is important for generating testing mechanistic hypotheses. Methods properties vivo have been emerging but present challenges with spatial temporal resolution especially 3D, by their reliance on highly specialized equipment, and/or due invasive nature. Here, we introduce light sheet elastography, noninvasive method that couples low-frequency shear waves...
The nuclear envelope (NE) separates genomic DNA from the cytoplasm and regulates transport between cytosol nucleus in eukaryotes. Nuclear stiffening enables cell to protect itself extensive deformation, loss of NE integrity, genome instability. It is known that reorganization actin, lamin, chromatin can contribute stiffening. In this work, we show structural alteration also contributes instantaneous under indentation. situ mechanical characterization nuclei intact cells shows unfolding...
Physical processes ultimately shape tissue during development. Two emerging proposals are that cells migrate toward stiffer (durotaxis) and the extent of cell rearrangements reflects phase, but it is unclear whether how these concepts related. Here, we identify fibronectin-dependent stiffness as a control variable underlies unifies phenomena in vivo. In murine limb bud mesoderm, either caged, move directionally, or intercalate function their location along gradient. A modified Landau phase...
In China, Rosa rugosa is cultivated as a source of natural perfumes. Rose essential oil known “liquid gold”, given its high economic and health value. 2-phenylethanol accounts for more than 10% the total mass fraction derived from R. rugosa. The regulatory mechanisms underlying metabolism in rugosa, however, remain unclear. this study, RrAAAT RrPPDC1, two genes related to synthesis, were cloned Expression analysis revealed that RrPPDC1 highly expressed rose flowers full opening withering...
Aluminum (Al) is prevalent in soils, but Al toxicity manifested only under acid conditions. It causes severe damages to the root system. Short-term waterlogging stress can occur simultaneously with areas high rainfall or an inappropriate irrigation pattern. Barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) one of most Al-sensitive small-grained cereals. In this work, we have investigated effects short-term treatments hypoxia and phenolic (two major constraints waterlogged soils) on sensitivity low-pH stresses....
Abstract Soil salinity disturbs the equilibrium between reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) production and removal, leading to a dramatic increase in concentration oxidative damage. Enzymatic scavenging is one of two main mechanisms involved detoxification plants. This study has investigated role major antioxidant AO enzymes mitigating salinity‐induced stress plant shoots. Firstly, barley varieties were used evaluate activity different leaves at times after salt treatment. Our results showed...
The TUBBY gene family is a group of transcription factors found in animals and plants with many functions. TLP genes have significant role response to different abiotic stresses. However, there limited knowledge regarding the T. aestivum. Here we identified 40 TaTLP wheat reveal their potential function. This study that (TaTLP) are highly conserved wheat. GO analysis revealed growth stress responses. Promoter most TaTLPs participate hormone heatmap also showed expression under various...
The rhizosheath, the layer of soil tightly attached to roots, protects plants against abiotic stress and other adverse conditions by providing a bridge from plant root system soil. It reduces formation air gaps between facilitates transportation water at root–soil interface. also serves as favourable niche for plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria in surrounding soil, which facilitate absorption nutrients. This review compares difference rhizosheath rhizosphere, summarises molecular...
Rosa rugosa Thunb. is an important ornamental and economic plant. Essential oil extracted from its flowers known as "liquid gold" has a high health value. In this study, the developmental process of secretory epidermal cells petals, location essential synthesis accumulation, associated pathway were studied by using Chinese R. test material. Results showed that rose might be synthesized in two pathways: direct plastids conversion starch grains. Although grains acted precursor for provided...
Purpose: Neuropathic pain often originates from nerve injury or diseases of the somatosensory nervous system. However, its specific pathogenesis remains unclear. The requirement for excitatory synaptic plasticity in pain-related syndromes has been demonstrated. A recent study reported that pentraxin-3 is important glutamatergic formation and function. Meanwhile, nectin-1 mediates synaptogenesis neurological disorders. present aimed to evaluate whether modulate spinal damage-related...
