Non-irrigated crops in temperate climates and irrigated arid are subjected to continuous cycles of water stress re-watering. Thus, fast efficient recovery from may be among the key determinants plant drought adaptation. The present study was designed comparatively analyze roles resistance adaptation investigate physiological basis genotypic variation maize (Zea mays) seedlings. As seedlings behavior growth associate with yield under drought, it could partly reflect potential adaptability....
The fact that silicon application alleviates water deficit stress has been widely reported, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here effects of on uptake and transport sorghum seedlings (Sorghum bicolor L.) growing under polyethylene glycol-simulated osmotic in hydroponic culture sand were investigated. Osmotic dramatically decreased dry weight, photosynthetic rate, transpiration stomatal conductance, leaf content, reduced these stress-induced decreases. Although had no effect stem...
Melatonin, a small molecular weight indoleamine molecule, is involved in various biological processes and responses to environmental cues plants. However, its function abiotic stress response the underlying mechanisms less clear. In this study, we investigated effect of melatonin on wheat seedlings growth under salt condition. Exogenous pretreatment partially mitigated salt-induced inhibition whole-plant as judged from shoot dry weight, IAA content, leaf photosynthesis rate, maximum...
Drought stress triggers mature leaf senescence, which supports plant survival and remobilization of nutrients; yet senescence also critically decreases post-drought crop yield. generally results in carbon/nitrogen imbalance, is reflected the increased carbon:nitrogen (C:N) ratio leaves, has been shown to be involved inducing under normal growth conditions. Yet involvement balance regulation drought-induced unclear. To investigate role sorghum seedlings were subjected a gradual soil drought...
Although the effects of silicon application on enhancing plant salt tolerance have been widely investigated, underlying mechanism has remained unclear. In this study, seedlings cucumber, a medium accumulator plant, grown in 0.83 mM solution for two weeks were exposed to 65 NaCl another one week. The dry weight and shoot/root ratio reduced by stress, but significantly alleviated these decreases. chlorophyll concentration, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate leaf water content higher...
Although silicon (Si) has been widely reported to alleviate plant nutrient deficiency, the underlying mechanism in potassium (K) deficiency is poorly understood. In this study, sorghum seedlings were treated with Si under a K condition for 15 days. Under control conditions, growth was not affected by application. The and water status reduced K-deficient stress, but application significantly alleviated these decreases. leaf gas exchanges, whole-plant hydraulic conductance (Kplant), root (Lpr)...
Melatonin has been confirmed extensively for the positive effects on increasing plant tolerance to various abiotic stresses. However, roles of melatonin in mediating different stresses still need be explored plants species and growth periods. To investigate role mitigating salt stress, maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings growing hydroponic solution were treated with 100 mM NaCl combined or without 1 μM melatonin. application had no under normal condition, while it moderately alleviated...
Melatonin, a pleiotropic regulatory molecule, is involved in the defense against heavy metal stress. Here, we used combined transcriptomic and physiological approach to investigate underlying mechanism of melatonin mitigating chromium (Cr) toxicity Zea mays L. Maize plants were treated with either (10, 25, 50 100 μM) or water exposed μM K2Cr2O7 for seven days. We showed that treatment significantly decreased Cr content leaves. However, roots was not affected by melatonin. Analyses RNA...
In plants, the galactolipids monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactodiacylglycerol (DGDG) are major constituents of photosynthetic membranes in chloroplasts. One key enzymes for biosynthesis these is MGDG synthase (MGD). To investigate role MGD plant's response to salt stress, we cloned an gene from rice (Oryza sativa) generated tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants overexpressing OsMGD. The activity OsMGD transgenic was confirmed be higher than that wild-type cultivar SR1. Immunoblot...
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a central enzyme in glycolysi, we performed genome-wide identification of GAPDH genes wheat and analyzed their structural characteristics expression patterns under abiotic stress wheat. A total 22 were identified cv. Chinese spring; the phylogenetic structure analysis showed that these could be divided into four distinct subfamilies. The profiles tissue specificity all over plant development stages. qRT-PCR results revealed GAPDHs involved...
