“…Mittler (2002) observed that the oxidative demolition of the cell (oxidative stress) occurs by injuring membranes (lipid peroxidation), proteins, RNA, and DNA molecules as a result of elevated ROS levels in the cells. DNA damage is caused by OH • and O 2radicals, and this damage results in heritable changes (Fatima et al, 2017). Moreover, these signals play an important role in the adaptation process of plants to abiotic stress (Choudhury et al, 2017).…”

Little has been done to evaluate the molecular role of ZnO nanoparticles (ZNPs) in regulating biochemical processes and plant yield in response to salt-induced stress. In this study, the molecular response of salt-stressed soybean (‘Giza111’) was assessed under different concentrations of ZNPs (25, 50, 100, and 200 mg l-1) by measuring some osmolytes, yield parameters, and Na+ and K+ content. The impact of salinity on the mRNA expression levels of three key salt-tolerance related genes (GmCHX1, GmPAP3, and GmSALT3) using qRT-PCR was also determined. The high level of salinity (250 mM NaCl) led to a significant increase in Na+ content, total soluble proteins, and total soluble carbohydrates and significantly upregulated gene expression of GmCHX1, GmPAP3, and GmSALT3, while reducing K+ content, K+/Na+ ratio and all yield parameters compared to control plants. Soaking soybean seeds in various ZNP concentrations, on the other hand, increased K+ content and K+/Na+ ratio while decreasing Na+ content, total soluble proteins, and total soluble carbohydrates in stressed plants, particularly at 50 mg l-1 ZNPs. Furthermore, GmCHX1, GmPAP3, and GmSALT3 expressions were all downregulated at 50 mg l-1 ZNPs, which ultimately improved soybean yield parameters. Accordingly, these results recommend the application of 50 mg l-1 ZNPs for improving the productivity of soybean cultivated in saline soils.
