“…Many experiments have emphasized this strategy, where the overexpression of vacuolar Na + /H + antiporter gene (NHX1) family has enhanced the salinity tolerance of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) [81], rice (Oryza sativa L.) [82], and maize (Zea mays L.) [29]. More recently, a novel virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) method has been applied to study the function of GhBI-1 gene in cotton regarding the salt-stress response [83].…”

Soil salinization is one of the major environmental stressors hampering the growth and yield of crops all over the world. A wide spectrum of physiological and biochemical alterations of plants are induced by salinity, which causes lowered water potential in the soil solution, ionic disequilibrium, specific ion effects, and a higher accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). For many years, numerous investigations have been made into salinity stresses and attempts to minimize the losses of plant productivity, including the effects of phytohormones, osmoprotectants, antioxidants, polyamines, and trace elements. One of the protectants, selenium (Se), has been found to be effective in improving growth and inducing tolerance against excessive soil salinity. However, the in-depth mechanisms of Se-induced salinity tolerance are still unclear. This review refines the knowledge involved in Se-mediated improvements of plant growth when subjected to salinity and suggests future perspectives as well as several research limitations in this field.

Summary Trichomes are specialized epidermal cells and a vital plant organ that protect plants from various harms and provide valuable resources for plant development and use. Some key genes related to trichomes have been identified in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana through glabrous mutants and gene cloning, and the hub MYB ‐ bHLH ‐ WD 40, consisting of several factors including GLABRA 1 ( GL 1), GL 3, TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA 1 ( TTG 1), and ENHANCER OF GLABRA 3 ( EGL 3), has been established. Subsequently, some upstream transcription factors, phytohormones and epigenetic modification factors have also been studied in depth. In cotton, a very important fibre and oil crop globally, in addition to the key MYB ‐like factors, more important regulators and potential molecular mechanisms (e.g. epigenetic modifiers, distinct metabolic pathways) are being exploited during different fibre developmental stages. This occurs due to increased cotton research, resulting in the discovery of more complex regulation mechanisms from the allotetraploid genome of cotton. In addition, some conservative as well as specific mediators are involved in trichome development in other species. This study summarizes molecular mechanisms in trichome development and provides a detailed comparison of the similarities and differences between Arabidopsis and cotton, analyses the possible reasons for the discrepancy in identification of regulators, and raises future questions and foci for understanding trichome development in more detail.

“…Salt stress is another major abiotic stress limiting crop production [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66]. To gain further insight into the role of CaSTP genes under salt stress, we analyzed the expression profiles of CaSTP genes under salt stress treatments based on available genome-wide RNA-seq data.…”

Sugar transporter proteins (STPs) play an important role in plant growth and development and stress resistance. Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a significant economic crop and is widely cultivated worldwide. However, the evolution and the roles of STP genes in the growth and development and in coping with abiotic stresses in pepper are poorly known. Here, we characterized STP gene family in pepper through integration of chromosomal location, gene structure, conserved motif, phylogeny, expression patterns in different tissues and abiotic stresses. Using bioinformatics-based methods, we identified 17 putative STP genes in pepper. Chromosome mapping indicated that they are unevenly distributed on 9 chromosomes and there are tandem duplication events. Gene structure analysis revealed that intron numbers among these CaSTP genes ranged from 2 to 5, except that CaSTP12 and CaSTP13 genes contained no introns. The phylogenetic tree of STP genes from pepper and other plant species revealed that STP genes were grouped into 4 subfamilies, suggesting that these gene subfamilies may have diverged from a single common ancestor prior to the mono-dicot split. Gene expression analysis based on RNA-seq data showed that three genes were expressed constitutively in all the tissues analyzed, implying that these genes might have specific function in pepper. Stress data analysis showed that the expression profiles of some members of the CaSTP gene family were altered under cold, heat, salt and hormone stress conditions. The present results will provide valuable information into the evolutionary relationships and functional divergence of the STP family in the future. ARTICLE HISTORY
