Summary: Plant responses to salt and drought stress can lead to significant changes in photosynthetic performance and thylakoid proteome composition, particularly under combined stress conditions. The growth of plants may be inhibited, resulting in toxicity symptoms, indicating the complexity of plant stress responses.

Summary: Salt stress can cause changes in redox modifications, which affect cell redox homeostasis and protein function. Eutrema salsugineum, a halophytic plant, has been used to study the role of redox modifications and signaling pathways in response to salt stress. This research provides a foundation for understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant salt response.

Summary: This research investigated differences in the regulation of NOX-dependent signalling under salt stress between the halophyte Eutrema salsugineum and the glycophyte Arabidopsis thaliana. The study revealed distinct expression patterns of NOX genes and differences in NOX activity between the two plants under salinity, implicating modified regulation possibly through ABA- and/or ethylene-dependent pathways in the halophyte.

Summary: By studying the physiological and proteomic differences between different ecotypes of salt cress, we found evolutionary differences at the protein level. The SD ecotype highly expressed stress-related proteins to adapt to high salt environment, while the XJ ecotype utilized specialized energy metabolism to adapt to the arid environment.

Summary: ALDH7B4 promoter analysis reveals that both genetic background and promoter architecture contribute to gene expression in response to stress in different species. Many genes are differentially regulated in a comparison of salinity-sensitive and salinity-tolerant plant species.

Summary: Salt tolerance is an important mechanism for plants to adapt to a saline environment. Through global analyses of mRNA alternative polyadenylation (APA), researchers found that Arabidopsis thaliana and its halophytic relative Eutrema salsugineum have different responses to salt stress. Arabidopsis is more sensitive to salt stress, while Eutrema exhibits an innate response to such conditions. The number of APA genes and the enriched pathways in response to salt stress also differ between the two species.

Summary: The characteristics and regulatory mechanisms of Ann genes in Schrenkiella parvula and Eutrema salsugineum were studied through bioinformatics analysis. It was found that Ann genes in these two drought-tolerant plants have similar gene and protein structures. The expression of Ann genes under salt stress was also confirmed, and results showed that SpAnn2 gene played an important role in mediating salt stress.

Summary: Understanding the interactions between host, pathogen, and the environment is crucial for disease management and improving crop yields. Abiotic stress factors, such as cold damage, water deficit, and high pH soils, can significantly impact fruit tree production and disease severity. This research focused on evaluating the effects of biotic and abiotic stress factors on peach tree health, specifically in relation to Cytospora canker. The findings emphasize the importance of proper irrigation and soil pH management in peach orchards for effective disease control.

Summary: This paper reviews the current ability of remote sensing to detect the impact of drought and salinity stress on vegetation indices and crop trait responses. VIs are found to be insufficiently accurate, while plant functional traits show promise in monitoring the effects of stresses on crop health. Further research is needed to fully realize this potential.

Summary: Drought poses a major challenge for agricultural production, but autophagy plays a crucial role in helping plants survive drought stress by regulating water permeability, degrading toxic proteins, and promoting stress responses. The activation of autophagy through transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms may offer promising strategies for enhancing drought tolerance in plants.

Summary: The timing of floral transition in plants is regulated by both endogenous molecular pathways and external environmental factors. Photoperiod is an important environmental cue which determines the seasonal timing of flowering. In addition, various environmental factors affect the timing of floral transition, with the aim of maximizing reproductive success. This review summarizes the effects of environmental factors, including photoperiod, light intensity, temperature changes, vernalization, drought, and salinity, on the regulation of flowering time in plants, and further explains the molecular mechanisms linking these factors to the internal flowering time regulation pathway.
