Summary: This study analyzed the function of Na+/K+-ATPase in the response of Neoporphyra haitanensis to salt stress and found that it played a crucial role in maintaining the K+/Na+ homeostasis in the algae. The inhibitor ouabain caused Na+ accumulation and K+ leakage in the cells, disrupting the K+/Na+ balance and leading to decreased photosynthesis and oxidative damage in the algae.

Summary: In this study, the researchers identified seven SlNHX genes in the tomato genome and investigated their expression patterns in the open flower tissues under salt shock. They found that SlNHX6 and SlNHX8 are associated with the stress-related MeJA hormone and physically interact with Salt Overly Sensitive (SOS) pathway proteins, respectively. The transcriptome analysis showed that the SlNHX2 and SlNHX6 genes were highly expressed in the open flower tissues and all SlNHX genes, especially SlNHX6 and SlNHX8, were significantly upregulated by salt shock. These findings provide valuable insights for future genetic research and breeding strategies against salt stress in tomatoes.

Summary: A novel NHX gene named CsNHX6 was cloned from tea plant, and its overexpression enhanced the salt tolerance of yeast and Arabidopsis by increasing the Na+ storage capacity of cells. CsNHX6 was localized in various organelles including Golgi, TGN, PVC and vacuole, and this localization was enhanced by salt stress.

Summary: Plant metabolites are dynamically modified and distributed in response to environmental changes. Maintaining ion homeostasis under salt stress requires coordinated activation of two types of central regulators: plasma membrane (PM) H+-ATPase and Na+/H+ antiporter. In this study, we identified phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) as key molecules in regulating ion homeostasis under salt stress in Arabidopsis.

Summary: This study investigates the role of OsRFPHC-4 gene in improving salt tolerance in rice. The overexpression of OsRFPHC-4 leads to reduced accumulation of Na+ in roots and leaves, lower Na+ transport in xylem sap, higher accumulation of proline and soluble sugars, and increased activity of reactive oxygen species scavenging enzymes. These findings suggest that OsRFPHC-4 contributes to salt tolerance and Na+/K+ homeostasis.

Summary: Soil salinization affects crop growth by inducing osmotic stress and ion toxicity. NHX gene family plays a crucial role in plant response to salt stress through regulating sodium ion transport. This study identified and characterized 26 NHX genes in three cultivars of Cucurbita L., and found that genes in the same subfamily may have similar functions while genes in other subfamilies may have functional diversity. Additionally, it was discovered that some NHX genes have key cis-acting elements associated with salt stress response.

Summary: Soil salinity poses a serious threat to global food production, limiting crop growth and yield. Traditional breeding methods are time-consuming and expensive, while genetic engineering is increasingly being used to confer salt tolerance in crops. However, most studies are still limited to the laboratory level, with field trials needed to prove the long-term efficacy of these approaches.

Summary: This study discovered that cotton production is severely affected by salt stress, and identified SOS1 as a key gene for salt tolerance in cotton. It also identified SIP5 as a protein that interacts with SOS1 and negatively regulates salt tolerance in cotton. These findings provide a theoretical basis for elucidating the molecular mechanism of SOS1 and breeding salt-tolerant crops.
