“…Rehabilitation of salinity-affected soils in the Aral Sea regions needs substantial investment and innovations (4). Agricultural production is deteriorating further because of conventional agronomic practices, unsustainable natural resource usage, poor land and water quality, climate change, poor investments in land and water resource rehabilitation (5,6). In this regard, the introduction of salt and drought-tolerant climate-smart crop species can rejuvenate agronomic production, while rehabilitating saltaffected irrigated fields and sustaining crop diversification systems (7).…”

Assessment of crop genetic resources is an efficient tool to generate new stress-tolerant varieties with high yield characteristics for harsh environments such as in the Aral Sea regions. Sorghum is a C4 grass capable of both high biomass and grain yields in semiarid and drier parts of the world. In this study, sixteen sorghum genotypes were assessed in terms of grain and biomass production under the saline aquifer of the Aral Sea region during the 2019-2021 growing seasons. The tested sorghum genotypes were planted as a split-plot design with three replicates in the experimental field. The highest plant height was found in SSV-84 (288 cm) and Kulzha (272 cm), indicating good adaptation features under the saline environment (moderately saline serosems soil; EC 8-10 dS m-1). A considerable difference was observed in the grain and biomass yield of the tested sorghum genotypes. The highest grain yield was produced by Kazakhstanskoe-16 (6970 kg ha-1) while the highest biomass yield was achieved by Orange-160 (57770 kg ha-1). The correlation analysis showed a weak interaction (r=0.524) between the grain yield and vegetation period parameters, implying a genetic specificity has an advantage of the agronomic performance. Lab experiments also confirmed the superiority of the selected genotypes over the local genotype in regards of seed germination and seedling growth. Based on the field and lab experiments, Kazakhstanskoe-16 and Orange-160 were found to be salt tolerant sorghum genotypes with high yield traits and recommended for further assessment to the State Varietal Commission of Agricultural Crops for large-scale use in salt-affected arid areas.

“…These isolates are NaCl-tolerant, making them promising candidates for future uses not just in HM-contaminated land and water surfaces, but also in salty environments. Due to the climate change and desertification, there is a sharp increase in salty land spaces [ 13 , 14 ]. Inoculating salty fields with halotolerant plant growth promoting bacteria has recently been highlighted to be an environmentally acceptable and sustainable method of overcoming salinity and enhancing crop growth and yield under high saline conditions [ 36 ].…”

“…In the meantime, around 25% of all land is salty to some extent [ 13 ]. Salinization is a drawback effect of climate change and desertification process [ 14 ]. Osmotic stress caused by salinity reduces the availability of critical elements including, Ca, K, Zn and Fe, resulting in nutrient deficiency in plants [ 15 ].…”

Microbe- plant interaction as a sustainable tool for mopping up heavy metal contaminated sites

Background Phytoremediation is a green technology that removes heavy metal (HM) contamination from the environment by using HM plant accumulators. Among soil microbiota, plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) have a role influencing the metal availability and uptake. Methods This current study evaluates the plant growth promoting qualities of microbial flora isolated from rhizosphere, plant roots, and marine aquatic HMs polluted environments in Alexandria through several biochemical and molecular traits. Metal contents in both collected soils and plant tissues were measured. Transcript levels of marker genes (HMA3 and HMA4) were analyzed. Results Three terrestrial and one aquatic site were included in this study based on the ICP-MS identification of four HMs (Zn, Cd, Cu, and Ni) or earlier reports of HMs contamination. Using the VITEK2 bacterial identification system, twenty-two bacteria isolated from these loci were biochemically described. Pseudomonas and Bacillus were the most dominant species. Furthermore, the soil microbiota collected from the most contaminated HMs site with these two were able to enhance the Helianthus annuus L. hyper-accumulation capacity significantly. Specifically, sunflower plants cultivated in soils with HMs adapted bacteria were able to accumulate about 1.7–2.5-folds more Zn and Cd in their shoots, respectively. Conclusion The influence of PGPR to stimulate crop growth under stress is considered an effective strategy. Overall, our findings showed that plants cultivated in HMs contaminated sites in the presence of PGPR were able to accumulate significant amounts of HMs in several plant parts than those cultivated in soils lacking microbiota.

“…Among them, S. arbuscula, S. arbusculiformis, and S. chiwensis have high environmental importance since they perform sand-fixing and rockstrengthening functions. They are also useful for landscaping in the desert zone (Alirzayeva et al, 2015). S. arbuscula, S. gemmascens Pall., and S. rigida Pall.…”

Salsola arbuscula Pall., Salsola arbusculiformis Drob. and Salsola chiwensis M. Pop. have great environmental importance as they can stabilise sand dunes and therefore are useful for desert zone landscaping. The genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of populations of these species collected in Western Kazakhstan were analysed using internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The ITS sequences of species were aligned with sequences of 37 Salsola species from the NCBI. ITS analysis clustered the samples into two major groups and eight sections. The phylogenetic tree and haplotype network relationships confirmed the polyphyletic origin of Salsola and allowed taxonomic reassessment for the studied species. A set of SSR markers originally developed from genera Agriophyllum, Haloxylon, and Beta was tested for their variability in Salsola species. Twenty-six tested SSR markers were selected for their transferability scores, and 13 of them were suitable for study of genetic diversity in populations of three Salsola species. It was concluded that polymorphic SSR markers were efficient in the separation of the studied Salsola species and could be effectively used in studies related to the genetic variation in the genus.
