چکیده مقاله:

In this work, the effects of silicon (Si) supplementation were studied in pistachio (Pistacia veraL. cv Ahmadaghaii) plants exposed to high salinity stress. Plants were grown in pots undercontrol and salt (EC=15 dS m-1) conditions without or with Si treatment (0.35 g Na2SiO3 Kg-1soil) under field conditions. Salt stress reduced the plants’ growth significantly in both –Si and+Si plants; however, Si-supplied plants had a higher root and shoot dry weight as compared tothose without Si supply under salinity conditions. Salt stress caused a significant reduction ofleaf photochemical activities; however, Si application ameliorated these effects. The reductionof the net CO2 assimilation rate under salinity stress was alleviated by Si application,accompanied by an increase in water-use-efficiency. The concentration of Na in the leaves androots was significantly reduced by Si, while root K and leaf Ca concentrations were higher inSi-treated plants under salt stress compared with –Si ones. The activity of antioxidativeenzymes increased under salt stress and Si application caused a further increase, beingsignificant for superoxide dismutase (SOD). Salt stress induced membrane damage, as wasindicated by a higher malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration. In Si-supplemented plants,however, the MDA amount did not increase under salt stress. The results indicated that the Simediatedalleviation of salt stress in pistachio plants is related to higher photosynthesis andwater-use efficiency, a reduction of Na uptake and transport, and the stimulation of the plant’santioxidative defence capacity.

Effect of silicon supplementation on wheat plants under salt stress

Heavy metals are the cause of major abiotic stresses in plants and a principal contributor to environmental pollution in recent decades. This study investigated the effects of exogenous hydrogen sulfide on the ascorbate-glutathione cycle in the leaves of coriander seedlings under copper stress. Results showed that copper stress not only reduced APX and GR activities but also decreased leaf AsA,...

Salt stress activation of wound-related genes in tomato plants.

Plants respond to various stresses by expressing distinct sets of genes. The effects of multiple stresses on plants and their interactions are not well understood. We have discovered that salt stress causes the accumulation of proteinase inhibitors and the activation of other wound-related genes in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants. Salt stress was also found to enhance the plant's respon...

Salt and drought stress signal transduction in plants.

Salt and drought stress signal transduction consists of ionic and osmotic homeostasis signaling pathways, detoxification (i.e., damage control and repair) response pathways, and pathways for growth regulation. The ionic aspect of salt stress is signaled via the SOS pathway where a calcium-responsive SOS3-SOS2 protein kinase complex controls the expression and activity of ion transporters such a...

Crop and medicinal plants proteomics in response to salt stress

Increasing of world population marks a serious need to create new crop cultivars and medicinal plants with high growth and production at any environmental situations. Among the environmental unfavorable conditions, salinity is the most widespread in the world. Crop production and growth severely decreases under salt stress; however, some crop cultivars show significant tolerance against the neg...

Moderate salt treatment alleviates ultraviolet-B radiation caused impairment in poplar plants

The effects of moderate salinity on the responses of woody plants to UV-B radiation were investigated using two Populus species (Populus alba and Populus russkii). Under UV-B radiation, moderate salinity reduced the oxidation pressure in both species, as indicated by lower levels of cellular H2O2 and membrane peroxidation, and weakened the inhibition of photochemical efficiency expressed by O-J...
