Aspects of Salt Tolerance in a NaCl-Selected Stable Cell Line of Citrus sinensis

A NaCl-tolerant cell line which was selected from ovular callus of `Shamouti' orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) proved to be a true cell line variant. This conclusion is based on the following observations. (a) Cells which have been removed from the selection pressure for at least four passages retain the same NaCl tolerance as do cells which are kept constantly on 0.2 molar NaCl. (b) Na⁺ and Cl⁻ uptake are considerably lower in salt-tolerant cells (R-10) than in salt-sensitive cells (L-5) at a given external NaCl concentration. (c) Growth of salt-tolerant cells is markedly suppressed upon replacement of NaCl by KCl, whereas the growth of salt-sensitive cells is only slightly affected. Accumulation of K⁺ and Cl⁻ accompanies the inhibition of growth. Experiments carried out with sodium and potassium sulfate suggest that the toxic effect is due to the accumulated Cl⁻. (d) Removal of Ca²⁺ from the growth medium severely inhibits the growth of salt-tolerant cells in the presence of NaCl, while it has a minor effect on growth of salt-sensitive cells in the presence of NaCl. (e) Electron micrographs show that the salt-tolerant cells have very big vacuoles when exposed to salt, while the size of the vacuoles of the salt-sensitive cells does not change.     

Effect of aspartic acid on physiological characteristics and gene expression of salt exclusion in Tartary buckwheat under salt stress

Salt-tolerant variety Chuanqiao No. 1 and salt-sensitive variety Chuanqiao No. 2 of Tartary buckwheat were used as experimental materials. The effect of aspartic acid on seed germination, physiological characteristics of seedlings and gene expression of salt exclusion in Tartary buckwheat were studied under NaCl stress of 150 mM. The results showed that the aspartic acid treatment could restore the seed germination rate and root vigor of seedlings to the control with non-damage level in salt-tolerant Tartary buckwheat variety under salt stress, and the salt-sensitive variety was increased greatly. Spraying aspartic acid had some protective effects on cell membrane of leaves in Tartary buckwheat under salt stress, and the protective effects were more obviously on salt-sensitive variety, and that could restore the activity of SOD and CAT of leaves to the control level in salt-tolerant Tartary buckwheat variety under salt stress, and the activity of antioxidant enzymes in salt-sensitive variety was increased significantly. The relative expression of FtNHX1 and FtSOS1 genes was increased significantly under salt stress, and that of FtNHX1 gene in salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive varieties was reached the maximum expression level at 12 h and 24 h respectively, while that of FtSOS1 gene in salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive varieties was reached the maximum expression level at 12 h, and the salt-tolerant variety was increased greatly. After spraying aspartic acid, the relative expression of FtNHX1 and FtSOS1 genes was increased more obviously. The relative expression of FtNHX1 gene in salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive varieties was reached the maximum expression level at 12 h, while that of FtSOS1 gene was reached the maximum expression level at 12 h and 24 h respectively, and that in salt-tolerant variety was increased especially more, indicating that spraying aspartic acid on gene expression of salt exclusion in salt-tolerant variety of Tartary buckwheat has a better effect under salt stress.     

Phenolic content and antioxidant activity in two contrasting Medicago ciliaris lines cultivated under salt stress

The objective of this study was to determine more indepth physiological and antioxidant responses in two Medicago ciliaris lines (a salt-tolerant line TNC 1.8 and a salt-sensitive line TNC 11.9) with contrasting responses to 100 mM NaCl. Under salt stress, both lines showed a decrease in total biomass and in the growth rate for roots, but TNC 1.8 was less affected by salt than TNC 11.9 in that it maintained leaf growth even in the presence of added salt. In both lines, salt stress mainly affected micronutrient status (Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn) rather than K nutrition, but the tolerant line TNC 1.8 accumulated more Na in leaves and less in roots compared with TNC 11.9. Salt stress decreased total soluble sugars (TSS) in all organs of the sensitive line TNC 11.9, whereas TSS was only reduced in roots of the tolerant line. The salt-induced drop in growth was linked to an increase in lipid peroxidation in roots of both lines and in leaves of the sensitive line. The salt-tolerant line TNC 1.8 was more efficient at managing salt-induced oxidative damage in leaves and to a lesser extent in roots than the salt-sensitive line TNC 11.9, by preserving higher phenolic compound and superoxide dismutase levels in both organs.     

Changes in soluble amino-N,soluble proteins and free amino acids in leaves and roots of salt-stressed maize genotypes

Abstract

The effects of salt stress on the contents of organic solutes and on the pattern of free amino acids were studied in leaves and roots of two maize genotypes, BR5033 (salt-tolerant) and BR5011 (salt-sensitive). In leaves and roots of salt-stressed plants, soluble amino-N increased with time when compared to the controls. Salt stress increased the soluble protein content only in leaves of BR5011. Salinity increased the content of the majority of the free amino acids in leaves and roots of genotypes studied. Results suggest the hypothesis of disturbances in translocation of N-containing compounds from shoot to root in the salt-sensitive genotype. Results also suggest that the accumulation of organic solutes, mainly in roots of BR5033, may have an important role in the tolerance of this genotype to salt stress.     

Evaluation and Exploration of Favorable QTL Alleles for Salt Stress Related Traits in Cotton Cultivars (G. hirsutum L.)

Soil salinization is one of the major problems in global agricultural production. Cotton is a pioneer crop with regard to salt stress tolerance, and can be used for saline-alkali land improvement. The large-scale detection of salt tolerance traits in cotton accessions, and the identification of elite quantitative trait loci (QTLs)/genes for salt-tolerance have been very important in salt tolerance breeding. Here, 43 advanced salt-tolerant and 31 highly salt-sensitive cultivars were detected by analyzing ten salt tolerance related traits in 304 upland cotton cultivars. Among them, 11 advanced salt-tolerance and eight highly salt-sensitive cultivars were consistent with previously reported results. Association analysis of ten salt-tolerance related traits and 145 SSRs was performed, and a total of 95 significant associations were detected; 17, 41, and 37 of which were associated with germinative index, seedling stage physiological index, and four seedling stage biochemical indexes, respectively. Of these associations, 20 SSR loci were simultaneously associated with two or more traits. Furthermore, we detected 117 elite alleles associated with salt-tolerance traits, 4 of which were reported previously. Among these loci, 44 (37.60%) were rare alleles with a frequency of less than 5%, 6 only existed in advanced salt-tolerant cultivars, and 2 only in highly salt-sensitive cultivars. As a result, 13 advanced salt-tolerant cultivars were selected to assemble the optimal cross combinations by computer simulation for the development of salt-tolerant accessions. This study lays solid foundations for further improvements in cotton salt-tolerance by referencing elite germplasms, alleles associated with salt-tolerance traits, and optimal crosses.     

Root growth and lignification of two wheat species differing in their sensitivity to NaCl, in response to salt stress

Application of a 100-mM NaCl salt stress to wheat seedlings of a salt-tolerant (Triticum durum var. Ben Béchir) and a salt-sensitive (Triticum aestivum var. Tanit) species decreases the fresh and dry weights of roots especially in the salt-sensitive species, and slightly increases the ratio of dry to fresh weight, especially in the salt-resistant species. All peroxidase activities are increased by salt stress, the water-soluble peroxidase activity being increased much more in the salt-sensitive than in the salt-tolerant species, while the opposite result is observed with the cell-wall peroxidase activity. Some water-soluble peroxidases have been hypothesised to have auxin oxidase activity (which might explain the effect observed on the root biomass), while the cell-wall peroxidases would be involved in lignification. Histochemical observation confirms a more intense lignification in the root cells of the salt-tolerant species compared to the sensitive species, under the effect of NaCl.
