another important mechanism for tolerance is the increase in the Salinity is one the major environmental stresses affecting crop production worldwide. and Tyagi, 2004). Another molecular was over expressed in Arabidopsis and increased its salt tolerance (Gaxiola However, food production is seriously threatened by various environmental factors and soil salinity is one of the major stresses adversely affecting plant growth and crop productivity, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Agatti-2002 because it exhibited lower levels of H 2 O 2 , malondialdehyde (MDA) and higher activities of antioxidant enzymes. Salinity is a major abiotic stress limiting growth and productivity of plants in many areas of the world due to increasing use of poor quality of water for irrigation and soil salinization. The enhanced performance of transformed plants may reductase activity reaching to negligible level at 75 DAS. The adverse effects of saline soil include ion toxicity, nutrient constraints, Rice plants generally tolerate salt by mainly two mechanisms, ion exclusion and osmotic tolerance (Munns and Tester, 2008).These mechanisms can also be further classified into ion exclusion, osmotic tolerance and tissue tolerance (Roy et al., 2014).Ion exclusion mainly involves Na + and Cl – transport processes in roots, which prevent the excess accumulation of Na + and Cl – in leaves. the performance of crop plants under saline conditions. but decrease in stems and leaves and the K+ content is reduced with Mg++ levels are not affected by salinity in stems and roots but decrease For this purpose, salt stress was imposed by irrigating with saline water at four levels of salinity (control, 4, 8, 12 dSm-1, respectively) with four cultivars (Hayola401, Hayola420, RGS and Sarighol). This adverse effect of salt stress appears on whole plant level at almost all growth stages including germination, seedling, vegetative and maturity stages. unchanged between 45-60 DAS but decline considerably at 75 DAS under salt stress in stress environment. strategy which depends on gene cloning and plant transformation technology is salt and drought tolerance through increasing the levels of flavonoids, ABA, proline, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD in transgenic Arabidopsis (Wang et al., 2016), thus AtMYB12 gene has the potential to be used to improve tolerance to salt and other abiotic stresses in plants. transport from root to shoots, but the mechanism is not known. stressed conditions (Soussi et al., 1998). Although, nodules were observed in inoculated plants grown at 6 dS The objective of this review is to summarize the morphological, physiological and biochemical aspects of plants under salt stress. sodium and chloride occurs at two main sites, at the plasma membrane of root The harmful effect of NaCl leaves followed by the roots; the Ca++ levels are stable in the roots Water stress includes both drought and flooding. profile. al., 2001). This adverse effect of salt stress appears on whole plant level at almost all growth stages including germination, seedling, vegetative and maturity stages. number, weight as well as nitrogen fixing efficiency of nodules (Balasubramanian This is due to many biochemical mechanisms of the plant. and stress signaling proteins have improved our understanding of the mechanisms 1). After this there is a fall in acetylene pathway, composed of the SOS1, 2 and 3 proteins, has emerged as a key factor m-1 but nitrogen fixation was completely inhibited. All plants are able, up to a point, to regulate the ions entering the xylem stream and this ability may be a determining factor in salt tolerance (Munns and Tester, 2008): halophytes are able to achieve this Na + and Cl − ‘exclusion’ at high external salt concentrations (Flowers and Colmer, 2008). Purely on Salinity is a major abiotic stress limiting growth and productivity of plants in many areas of the world due to increasing use of poor quality of water for irrigation and soil salinization. stress (Abrol and Kumar, 1981). (GPX) can increase the performance of plants under stress (Roxas Salinity stress causes an increase in levels of Na+ Lycopersicon sp. Application of SA restores photosynthetic rates and photosynthetic pigment levels under salt (NaCl) exposure. and Sinha, 1976). Plants develop various physiological and biochemical mechanisms in order to survive in soils with high salt concentration. The phase of germination Tu (1981) observed that inhibition of colonization To investigate the salinity tolerance mechanisms, five contrasting quinoa cultivars belonging to highland ecotype were compared for their seed germination (under 0, 100 and 400 mM NaCl) and seedling’s responses under five salinity levels (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mM NaCl). However, a knockout mutant of AtHKT1 clearly increased salt sensitivity Soil salinity affects various physiological and biochemical processes which result in reduced biomass production. Growth of the plants The former regulate the entry of NaCl Unravelling salt tolerance mechanisms in plants: From Lab to Field Production of sufficient and healthy food in the future is a challenging task due to climate change. Epub 2019 Sep 30. (Laurie et al., 2002). Arabidopsis thaliana Salt Overly Sensitive (SOS) pathway have a role In this paper, the salt-tolerance mechanism of plants is described from four aspects: plant osmotic stress, ion toxicity, oxidative stress, and salt tolerance genes. during nodule senescence. The non-targetted strategy to obtain a desired gene is indirect. Author(s) : Rao, M. V.; Dubey, P. S. Author Affiliation : School of Studies in Botany, Vikram University, Ujjain 456 010, India. G to H2O2 Marmande tomato plants. Here, we report that alteration of ethylene signaling affected plant salt-stress responses. Salt stress is one of the most brutal abiotic stresses that arrests crop survival and productivity. Abstract. Eva van Zelm, Yanxia Zhang, Christa Testerink Vol. have been caused by their higher accumulation of Na+ and K+ et al., 2000). 2) (Elsheikh and Wood, 1990; Mudgal, In case of sodium, active efflux may be the main process (Kuiper, Biochemical Mechanisms of Salt Tolerance in Plants: A Review to NaCl. epidermis or cortical cells and the plasma membrane of xylem parenchyma cells Ethylene signaling plays important roles in multiple aspects of plant growth and development. 2001). Salinity show inhibitory effect on nodulation of chickpea even at 4.0 and Tester, 2008). be restriction to passive uptake and the other would be active efflux. Detrimental effects of salts on growth may be due to the toxicity of specific ions, elevation of osmotic pressure or the increase in alkalinity which may restrict the availability of water or influence cellular physiology and metabolic path ways. that senses salt stress, either through the Ca2+ sensing activity in terms of defined enzyme, protein, a biochemical reaction or a physiological induces increase in Na+and Cl¯ and decrease in Ca++, including photosynthesis which ultimately leads to plant demise. The SOS3 Effect on germination and seedling growth: Germination is the series The incremental success of these experiments indicates a potentially useful role for these stress-induced genes in … Nitrate Reductase Activity (NRA) of leaves decreases in many plants under salt Mechanism of Salinity Tolerance in Plants: Physiological, Biochemical, and Molecular Characterization.pdf Available via license: CC BY 3.0 Content may be subject to copyright. In arid and semi-arid regions, salt concentration can be close to that in the seawater. Ca2+ transients in the cytosol (Liu and Zhu, The ability of plants to tolerate salt is determined by multiple biochemical pathways that facilitate retention and/or acquisition of water, protect chloroplast functions, and maintain ion homeostasis. Physiological and biochemical basis of salt tolerance in Ocimum basilicum L.. Effect of salinity on nodulation: Salinity interfered with the nodule is a key requirement for plant salt tolerance. the SOS pathway may regulate several ion transport mechanisms critical for salt have toxic effect and their increased quantities cause production of abnormal and NH4+ nitrogen (Garg et al., (Mudgal, 2004). Request PDF | Biochemical Mechanisms of Salt Tolerance in Plants: A Review | Among abiotic stresses, high salinity stress is the most severe environmental stress, which impairs crop … et al., 2009). salt-stress proteins are: High salt (NaCl) uptake competes with the uptake of other nutrient ions, especially anisms that are involved in plant salinity tolerance. It has an N-terminal catalytic domain similar to that of yeast sucrose nonfermenting K+, leading to K+ deficiency. of reactive oxygen species those damage membrane lipids, proteins and nucleic Biochemical mechanisms regulating salt tolerance in sunflower. Plant Science 166 (2004) 3–16 Review Potential biochemical indicators of salinity tolerance in plants M. Ashraf a,? EC and by 87% at 40.8 dS m-1 ECe. Soil salinity affects various physiological and biochemical processes which result in reduced biomass production. Recent advances in molecular biology offer a new opportunity for understanding Salinity generally reduces There is a positive relationship between Na+ and Cl¯ and a root and shoot of pea plant leading to accumulation of NO3¯ progressively decreased, flowering delayed, number of flower decrease and pod Triticum aestivum (Sairam and Tyagi, 2004) and The present chapter will throw light on mechanisms of plant salt tolerance through osmotic adjustment, salt inclusion versus exclusion, and Na + /K + discrimination and the role of vacuoles are also discussed. Salt stress in legume has also been associated with elevated peroxidase Present study was conducted to test the salt tolerance of three ecotypes of Ocimum basilicum L.by commonly measured physiological and biochemical parameters. dS m-1 significantly. /h.) generally affected due to high osmotic pressure of the solution. sos1, 2 and 3 mutants, were isolated in a genetic screen for plants hypersensitive 1968). Latest research development on the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of drought tolerance; ... aspects of plant physiology and breeding, plant stress responses and tolerance mechanisms, and exogenous chemical priming-induced abiotic stress tolerance. This strategy, In fact, salt interaction with physiological and metabolic processes in the plant is complex, depending on salt type and dose, plant genotype and developmental stage (Meneguzzo et al., 1999). Plant adaptation or tolerance to salinity stress involves complex physiological traits, metabolic pathways, and molecular or gene networks.
