Transcriptomic profiling reveals response mechanisms of Lactuca indica seedlings to seawater irrigation stress by Dingding Cao, Lirong Xiang, Ziling Li, Neng Wei, Neng Wei, Qingfeng Wang, Qingfeng Wang

“…Tissue-specific -plant transcriptome analysis identified key metabolic pathways and regulatory genes in roots, stems, and leaves.ResultsDifferential gene expression analysis showed tissue-specific enrichment patterns: leaves predominantly enriched light-harvesting complex (LHC) genes in photosynthesis pathways; stems exhibited upregulation in cutin, suberin, and wax biosynthesis pathways; while roots showed activation of nitrogen metabolism pathways.DiscussionBased on the data from transcriptomics, we infered that the key salt-tolerant candidate genes include: (1) leaf-specific LHC genes enhancing photosynthetic efficiency; (2) stem-expressed wax biosynthesis gene aldehyde decarbonylase CER1, and cytochrome P450 family members fatty acid omega-hydroxylase CYP86A4S and cytochrome P450 family 77 subfamily A (CYP77A); and (3) root-specific nitrogen metabolism regulators (nitrate reductase (NR), nitrate/nitrite transporter 2 (NRT2), and nitrite reductase (NirA). …”

Stress dose explains drought recovery in Norway spruce by Timo Knüver, Timo Knüver, Andreas Bär, Elias Hamann, Marcus Zuber, Stefan Mayr, Barbara Beikircher, Nadine K. Ruehr

“…We particularly assessed how the recovery of canopy conductance and tree transpiration is linked to i) stress intensity in terms of minimum water potential, ii) stress duration inferred by days below a water potential related to 12% hydraulic conductance loss (dP12), iii) stress dose inferred by the cumulative tree water deficit on days below P12 (TWDP12) as well as the cumulative water potential (Ψcum), and iv) the percent loss of conductive xylem area (PLA).ResultsBoth drought treatments resulted in stem and root embolism with a higher PLA of 49% ± 10% in the long drought treatment compared to 18% ± 6% in the short drought treatment consistent across the measured plant parts. …”
