Summary: In this study, a salt and drought-induced ASR gene, ThASR3, was isolated from Tamarix hispida. The overexpression of ThASR3 in Tamarix and Arabidopsis plants enhanced reactive oxygen species scavenging capability under high salt and osmotic stress conditions, indicating its important role in improving abiotic stress tolerance.

Summary: Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide that enhances the resistance of organisms to various abiotic stresses. This study found that the ThTPS gene can respond to abiotic stress in T. hispida, such as salt and drought, and overexpression of this gene significantly improves salt and osmotic tolerance.

Summary: This study isolated and characterized 11 Stress associated proteins (SAPs) from T. hispida, and found that most ThSAPs exhibited transcriptional responses to abiotic stresses and phytohormones, with ThSAP6 being significantly induced by salt stress. Function analysis revealed ThSAP6 as a positive regulator of salt stress response, showing potential for biotechnological approaches to improve salt tolerance in plants.

Summary: The study identified multiple salt tolerance genes in Tamarix hispida through yeast expression system and high-throughput sequencing, demonstrating their reliability in enhancing plant salt tolerance. The research also observed higher expression levels of identified genes in roots under salt stress, with a significant proportion belonging to 'response to stimulus' category. The findings suggest that processes such as protein translation, osmotic adjustment, antioxidant defense, and maintenance of cellular functions play crucial roles in salt tolerance mechanisms.

Summary: The study revealed that ThEIL1, as a transcription factor, plays a key role in salt tolerance in Tamarix hispida. It elevates osmotic potential by regulating the biosynthesis of trehalose and proline, and enhances reactive oxygen species scavenging capability by controlling the expression of genes related to SOD and POD.

Summary: Plant tissue culture is an efficient biotechnological tool for mass producing high quality crops, but it can lead to somaclonal variation caused by genetic and/or epigenetic modulations. This study investigated the role of histone deacetylation in dwarfism of tissue culture-derived pineapple plants through overexpression of the AtHD2 gene. The results showed that HDACs play an important role in the response of pineapple plants to abiotic stress, and this phenomenon is epigenetically regulated.
