Silver Nanoparticle Regulates Salt Tolerance in Wheat Through Changes in ABA Concentration, Ion Homeostasis, and Defense Systems.

ABSTRACT: Salinity is major abiotic stress affecting crop yield, productivity and reduces the land-usage area for agricultural practices. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of green-synthesized silver nanoparticle (AgNP) on physiological traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum) under salinity stress. Using augmented and high-throughput characterization of synthesized AgNPs, this study investigated the proximity of AgNPs-induced coping effects under stressful cues by measuring the germination efficiency, oxidative-biomarkers, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, proline and nitrogen metabolism, stomatal dynamics, and ABA content. Taken together, the study shows a promising approach in salt tolerance and suggests that mechanisms of inducing the salt tolerance depend on proline metabolism, ions accumulation, and defense mechanisms. This study ascertains the queries regarding the correlation between nanoparticles use and traditional agriculture methodology; also significantly facilitates to reach the goal of sustainable developments for increasing crop productivity via much safer and greener approachability.

Project description:Trehalose (Tre), which was an osmoprotective or stabilizing molecule, played a protective role against different abiotic stresses in plants and showed remarkable perspectives in salt stress. In this study, the potential role of Tre in improving the resistance to salt stress in tomato plants was investigated. Tomato plants (Micro Tom) were treated with Hoagland nutrient solution (CK), 10 mM Tre (T), 150 mM sodium chloride (NaCl, S), and 10 mM Tre+150 mM NaCl (S+T) for 5 days. Our results showed that foliar application of Tre alleviated the inhibition of tomato plant growth under salt stress. In addition, salt stress decreased the values of net photosynthetic rate (Pn, 85.99%), stomata conductance (gs, 57.3%), and transpiration rate (Tr, 47.97%), but increased that of intercellular carbon dioxide concentration (Ci, 26.25%). However, exogenous application of Tre significantly increased photosynthetic efficiency, increased the activity of Calvin cycle enzymes [ribulose diphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA), fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), and transketolase (TK)], up-regulated the expression of genes encoding enzymes, induced stomatal opening, and alleviated salt-induced damage to the chloroplast membrane and structure. In the saline environment, photosynthetic electron transport was restricted, resulting the J-I-P phase to decrease. At the same time, the absorption, capture, and transport energies per excited cross-section and per active reaction center decreased, and the dissipation energy increased. Conversely, Tre reversed these values and enhanced the photosystem response to salt stress by protecting the photosynthetic electron transport system. In addition, foliage application with Tre significantly increased the potassium to sodium transport selectivity ratio (S K-Na ) by 16.08%, and increased the levels of other ions to varying degrees. Principal component analysis (PCA) analysis showed that exogenous Tre could change the distribution of elements in different organs and affect the expressions of SlSOS1, SlNHX, SlHKT1.1, SlVHA, and SlHA-A at the transcriptional level under salt stress, thereby maintaining ion homeostasis. This study demonstrated that Tre was involved in the process of mitigating salt stress toxicity in tomato plants and provided specific insights into the effectiveness of Tre in mediating salt tolerance.
