Summary: Salinity is a major environmental stress factor that negatively affects plant growth and agricultural output. Hormones, particularly ethylene, play a crucial role in mitigating salt-induced damage by regulating various signals and maintaining homeostasis. However, ethylene's role in salt tolerance is complex, as both positive and negative effects have been observed. This review provides an overview of salt stress and plant responses, the role of ethylene in salt tolerance, and its interaction with other hormones, focusing on isoprenoid-derived phytohormones.

Summary: Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant steroidal hormones that play key roles in plant development and stress response. They are synthesized through multiple pathways and signal transduction involving receptor kinases, ultimately regulating the expression of target genes. Research under heavy metal stress has revealed the involvement of BRs in signal transduction and transcriptional networks.

Summary: This study used the Rhodnius prolixus model to investigate the importance of nutrition, insulin signaling, and two main types of insect lipophilic hormones, juvenile hormone (JH) and ecdysteroids, in successful reproduction. The results showed that insulin and allatoregulatory neuropeptides mainly drive the increase in JH levels after a blood meal, and JH in turn regulates its own biosynthesis by controlling the expression of key enzymes. Additionally, insulin stimulates the synthesis and release of ecdysteroids from the ovary. This study emphasizes the complexity of the endocrine signal network and how they coordinate a successful reproductive cycle.

Summary: Plants require rapid and appropriate genetic and metabolic acclimation in a changing environment for survival, which is maintained through the coordinated action of plant hormones and cellular degradation mechanisms affecting proteostasis. The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) rapidly accumulates in response to environmental stress and plays a pivotal role in various stimuli reactions. Autophagy has been shown to significantly control ABA signaling, with ongoing research providing new insights on different components of the ABA pathway and the involvement of selective autophagy in ABA pathway control.

Summary: Strigolactones, initially known as germination stimulants for certain plants, have been found to play crucial roles in various aspects of plant growth and defense. They interact with other phytohormones and are involved in root and shoot architecture, pathogen interaction, and nutrient uptake. Furthermore, Strigolactones have been identified as important factors in abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. This review highlights the importance of understanding Strigolactones and their complex interaction networks for crop improvement and modern agriculture.

Summary: Small-molecule plant hormones play a crucial role in controlling plant growth, development, differentiation, and environmental responses. Through genomic decoding of model plants with genetic mutants, scientists have elucidated the molecular mechanisms of nine types of plant hormones and identified the structure of hormone receptors. Studies on the three-dimensional structure of ligand-receptor complexes have revealed the details of ligand perception mechanisms.

Summary: Autophagy is a vital process in plant cells for degrading cellular material, regulated by developmental stages and environmental changes through signaling pathways. TOR kinase activity is a key regulator of autophagy initiation, which can be suppressed under nutrient starvation and stress conditions to promote autophagy.

Summary: Salt stress is a significant environmental factor that has a severe impact on plant growth and development. Plant responses to salt stress involve various mechanisms, including osmoregulation, redox and ionic homeostasis regulation, hormone or light signal-mediated growth adjustment, which are regulated by different functional components. Understanding these mechanisms and identifying critical genes involved in salt response and adaptation are essential for developing salt-tolerant cultivars. This review highlights the current research progress in regulatory networks for plant salt tolerance, focusing on the mechanisms of salt stress perception, signaling, and tolerance response. Additionally, the potential contribution of microbiota and nanobiotechnology to plant salt tolerance is discussed.

Summary: Agricultural soil pollution with potentially toxic trace elements (PTEs) is a significant environmental concern. Conventional remediation approaches are toxic and can lead to environmental contamination. Silicon nanomaterials (SiNMs) have emerged as a promising alternative for the remediation of PTEs-contaminated soils due to their unique characteristics.
