This study attempted to explore how salt priming affected salt tolerance in sweet sorghum with emphasis on root Na+ uptake. After 10 days of pretreatment with 150 mM NaCl, plants were stressed with 300 mM NaCl. After salt stress for 7 days, dry matter of root and shoot decreased by 58.7 and 69.7 % in non-pretreated plants and by 37.9 and 41.3 % in pretreated plants. Consistently, pretreated plants maintained higher photosynthetic rate during salt stress, suggesting the enhanced tolerance by salt priming. Salt priming enhanced osmotic resistance, as proline and relative water contents in the leaf were higher in pretreated plants under salt stress. Salt priming alleviated salt-induced oxidative damage not by improving antioxidant protection due to lower increase in leaf malondialdehyde content and no extra induction on ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase,ascorbic acid and reduced glutathione in pretreated plants. After 7 days of salt stress, root Na+ efflux increased by 8.5- and 3.9-folds in pretreated and non-pretreated plants, suggesting that salt priming reduced root Na+ uptake, and then root and leaf Na+ accumulation were mitigated in pretreated plants. However, root Na+ extrusion became indifferent between pretreated and non-pretreated plants under salt stress after inhibiting plasma membrane (PM) Na+/H+ antiporter. Thus, the greater Na+ extrusion induced by salt priming had relation to PM Na+/H+ antiporter. Overall, salt priming improved salt tolerance in sweet sorghum by enhancing osmotic resistance and reducing root Na+ uptake.
Using open top chambers, the effects of elevated O₃ (80 nmol mol⁻¹) and elevated CO₂ (700 µmol mol⁻¹), alone and in combination, were studied on young trees of Quercus mongolica. The results showed that elevated O₃ increased malondialdehyde content and decreased photosynthetic rate after 45 days of exposure, and prolonged exposure (105 days) induced significant increase in electrolyte leakage and reduction of chlorophyll content. All these changes were alleviated by elevated CO₂, indicating that oxidative stress on cell membrane and photosynthesis was ameliorated. After 45 days of exposure, elevated O₃ stimulated activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11), but the stimulation was dampened under elevated CO₂ exposure. Furthermore, ascorbate (AsA) and total phenolics contents were not higher in the combined gas treatment than those in elevated O₃ treatment. It indicates that the protective effect of elevated CO₂ against O₃ stress was achieved hardly by enhancing ROS scavenging ability after 45 days of exposure. After 105 days of exposure, elevated O₃ significantly decreased activities of SOD, catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) and APX and AsA content. Elevated CO₂ suppressed the O₃-induced decrease, which could ameliorate the oxidative stress in some extent. In addition, elevated CO₂ increased total phenolics content in the leaves both under ambient O₃ and elevated O₃ exposure, which might contribute to the protection against O₃-induced oxidative stress as well.
There is large area of saline abandoned and lowyielding land distributed in coastal zone in the world. Soil salinity which inhibits plant growth and decreases crop yield is a serious and chronic problem for agricultural production. Improving plant salt tolerance is a feasible way to solve this problem. Plant physiological and biochemical responses under salinity stress become a hot issue at present, because it can provide insights into how plants may be modified to become more tolerant. It is generally known that the negative effects of soil salinity on plants are ascribed to ion toxicity, oxidative stress and osmotic stress, and great progress has been made in the study on molecular and physiological mechanisms of plant salinity tolerance in recent years. However, the present knowledge is not easily applied in the agronomy research under field environment. In this review, we simplified the physiological adaptive mechanisms in plants grown in saline soil and put forward a practical procedure for discerning physiological status and responses. In our opinion, this procedure consists of two steps. First, negative effects of salt stress are evaluated by the changes in biomass, crop yield and photosynthesis. Second, the underlying reasons are analyzed from osmotic regulation, antioxidant response and ion homeostasis. Photosynthesis is a good indicator of the harmful effects of saline soil on plants because of its close relation with crop yield and high sensitivity to environmental stress. Particularly, chlorophyll a fluorescence transient has been accepted as a reliable, sensitive and convenient tool in photosynthesis research in recent years, and it can facilitate and enrich photosynthetic research under field environment.
Gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence and modulated 820 nm reflection were investigated to explore the development of photosynthesis in Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) leaves from initiation to full expansion. During leaf expansion, photosynthetic rate (Pn) increased and reached the maximal level when leaves were fully expanded. The same change pattern was also found in the stomatal conductance and chlorophyll content. Lower Pn could not be ascribed to the higher stomatal resistance in developing leaves, as intercellular CO₂ concentration was not significantly lower in these leaves. Lower Pn partly resulted from the lower actual photochemical efficiency of PSII in developing leaves, as more excited energy was dissipated through non-photochemical quenching. The development of primary photochemical reaction and electron transport in the donor side of PSII was completed in the initiating leaves. However, the development of electron transport in the acceptor side of PSII was not accomplished until leaves were fully expanded, indicated by the change in probability that an electron moves further than primary quinone (ψo). PSI activity changed in parallel with ψo suggesting that PSI cooperated well with PSII during leaf expansion. It should be stressed that the development of carbon fixation process was later than primary photochemical reaction but earlier than photosynthetic electron transport during leaf expansion. The later development of photosynthetic electron transport may reduce the production of reactive oxygen species from Mehler reaction, particularly under low carbon fixation.
