Nucleation and facilitation in salt pans in Mediterranean salt marshes

Abstract. Arthrocnemum macrostachyum is a perennial species acting as a primary colonizer of salt pans in Mediterranean high salt marshes. Salicornia ramosissima, an annual, occurs in salt pans under Arthrocnemum canopies and in open areas. The aim of this study was to analyse, in wild populations and a transplant experiment, how S. ramosissima population dynamics and growth are affected by A. macrostachyum. The environmental conditions within the patches of Arthrocnemum were less stressful than in the open areas, with lower radiation levels and salinity concentrations. In the inner areas of A. macrostachyum patches, density‐dependent mortality processes of S. ramosissima seedlings led to low densities of adult individuals with greater morphological development and reproductive success than in open areas. However, at the edges of Arthrocnemum patches facilitation of seedling survival favoured high densities. Environmental stress hindered development, decreased reproduction and premature death. These results are in agreement with the general theory of factors controlling vegetation distribution that biotic interactions dominate in low stress environments, while abiotic interactions dominate under harsher environmental conditions. A. macrostachyum plays an essential role in the succession in these salt pans, facilitating seed production and stimulating nucleation processes in S. ramosissima.     

Glycophyte salt resistance

By perfusion of entire sunflower stems with NaCl solutions of various concentrations, we studied the phenomenon of sodium decrement, i.e., sodium retaining in the stem and leaf petioles. Such retaining could comprise up to 50–80% of initial sodium concentration. It depended on the rate of perfusion, the length of xylem vessels, and NaCl concentration. When perfusion with 100–500 mM NaCl concentrations (high for glycophytes) lasted for 10–12 days, we did not observe any decrease in the degree of sodium decrement. Simultaneously with sodium decrement, other ions (K⁺ and Ca²⁺) were secreted into the perfusate, thus providing for physiological equilibrating the monosalt solution supplied to the stem base. The high salt concentration in the perfusate induced a decrease in the hydraulic conductance of the vessels. The conclusion is that stressful NaCl solutions attain the shoot meristem and reproductive organs as an “equilibrated” salt solution and at a declined rate of xylem flow. The mechanisms of observed phenomenon of glycophyte salt resistance are discussed, the main of them being related to osmosis-dependent responses of stem living cells and the processes of ion exchange between the cells and xylem vessel content.     

Bile salt evolution

Viewed against the background of known or supposed biosynthetic pathways for cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids in man and laboratory animals, the chemical nature of bile salts in more primitive animals clearly indicates that evolution from C(27), 5alpha-alcohol sulfates to C(24), 5beta-acids has taken place. Stages in this evolution, some of which are intermediates in the biosynthesis of C(24) bile acids, are described for representatives of all the chief vertebrate groups. "Unique" primary C(24) bile acids may be considered as hydroxylated chenodeoxycholic acids; the possible taxonomic significance of these is discussed. A closer study of the biochemical mechanisms underlying bile salt differences may be expected to throw new light on the nature of the evolutionary process itself.     

Plant salt tolerance

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress in plant agriculture worldwide. This has led to research into salt tolerance with the aim of improving crop plants. However, salt tolerance might have much wider implications because transgenic salt-tolerant plants often also tolerate other stresses including chilling, freezing, heat and drought. Unfortunately, suitable genetic model systems have been hard to find. A recently discovered halophytic plant species, Thellungiella halophila, now promises to help in the detection of new tolerance determinants and operating pathways in a model system that is not limited to Arabidopsis traits or ecotype variations.     

Dietary salt levels affect salt preference and learning in larval Drosophila

Drosophila larvae change from exhibiting attraction to aversion as the concentration of salt in a substrate is increased. However, some aversive concentrations appear to act as positive reinforcers, increasing attraction to an odour with which they have been paired. We test whether this surprising dissociation between the unconditioned and conditioned response depends on the larvae's experience of salt concentration in their food. We find that although the point at which a NaCl concentration becomes aversive shifts with different rearing experience, the dissociation remains evident. Testing larvae using a substrate 0.025 M above the NaCl concentration on which the larvae were reared consistently results in aversive choice behaviour but appetitive reinforcement effects.     

生物炭调控盐胁迫下水稻幼苗耐盐性能

土壤盐渍化降低土壤生产力。探索生物炭对盐胁迫下水稻幼苗耐盐性能的影响,对调控盐渍区水稻生产潜力具有重要意义。本研究通过生物炭介入盐胁迫稻田土壤的盆栽试验,调查了生物炭对盐胁迫下土壤环境和水稻幼苗耐盐性能的影响。盐胁迫设置4个水平,分别为0 g NaCl·kg^-1土(S0),1 g NaCl·kg^-1土(S1),2 g NaCl·kg^-1土(S2),3 g NaCl·kg^-1土(S3)。生物炭设置2个水平,分别为0 g生物炭·kg^-1土(C0),3 g生物炭·kg^-1土(C1)。结果表明:生物炭介入盐胁迫土壤,显著提高了水稻幼苗地上部干物重,有效改善了水稻幼苗农艺性状,显著提高了水稻幼苗茎秆中全钾含量,显著提高水稻幼苗钾钠比79.61%,提高了水稻幼苗耐盐性。生物炭介入也对水稻幼苗抗氧化性能有改善作用,显著降低了水稻幼苗中丙二醛含量,平均显著降低14.25%,抑制膜脂过氧化作用,提高抗氧化能力,减轻盐胁迫对水稻幼苗的伤害。水稻幼苗收获后土壤中水溶性氯离子和水溶性钠离子含量在生物炭介入条件下分别显著降低9.13%、17.77%。因此,添加适量生物炭能有效降低土壤水溶性盐含量,改善土壤盐胁迫环境,提升水稻对盐渍土壤的适应能力。     

Vegetative salt tolerance of barnyard grass mutants selected for salt tolerant germination

Improving salt tolerance of economically important plants is imperative to cope with the increasing soil salinity in many parts of the world. Mutation breeding has been widely used to improve plant performance under salinity stress. In this study, we have mutagenized Echinochloa crusgalli L. with sodium azide and three selected mutants (designated fows A) with salt tolerant germination. Their vegetative growth was compared to that of the wild type after short-term and long-term salt stress. The germination of the three fows A mutants in the presence of inhibitory concentrations of NaCl, KCL, and mannitol was better than that of the wild type. Early growth of the mutants in the presence of 200 mM NaCl was also better than that of the wild type perhaps due to improved K⁺ uptake and enhanced accumulation of sugars particularly sucrose at least in two mutants. But the three mutants and the wild type responded similarly to long-term salt stress. The tolerance mechanisms during short-term and long-term salt stress are discussed.
