“…Koller, (1959)found that water uptake by seeds of the desert plant Anastatica hierochuntica was essential for germination and that seedlings emerged only after the seeds had absorbed sufficient water. Similarly, a study by Haider et al, (2023) showed that water uptake was positively correlated with germination rates in seeds of Satureja hortensis, a medicinal plant. Another study by Waqas et al, (2019) investigated the effects of water imbibition on seed germination in rice (Oryza sativa).…”

Salinity stress can negatively impact the growth and productivity of young wheat seedlings, leading to diminished grain yield and quality. Poor salinity management can cause soil sodicity in farming soils, where sodium (Na) binds to negatively charged clay, causing clay swelling and dispersal, subsequently decreasing the crop yield. Thus, the use of salinity tolerant varieties can be a plausible solution. This article investigates the effects of salinity stress on the germination and early seedling growth of 15 wheat genotypes in Bangladesh. The seeds were exposed to four levels of salinity (0, 6, 9, and 12 dS/m) and various germination parameters were measured, such as water imbibition, germination rate, seedling tissue water content, and seedling vigour index. The results showed significant differences among the genotypes and the salinity levels for all the parameters. BARI Gom 25 was found to be the most tolerant genotype, followed by BARI Gom 24, BARI Gom 29, and Binagom-1. The article also discussed the implications of these findings for saline soil remediation and wheat production in coastal areas of Bangladesh

“…The use of medicinal plants as sources of natural medicine and for subsistence through product production and trade has been extensively documented (Aziz et al, 2018;Mofokeng et al, 2022;Manzoor et al, 2023). However, the successful cultivation and long-term viability of medicinal plants face significant challenges due to salt stress (Ghassemi-Golezani and Abdoli, 2022;Haider et al, 2023). Therefore, understanding how medicinal plants respond to salt stress during germination is crucial because it directly affects their growth and seed viability.…”

“…In response to these challenges, there is an increasing need to explore sustainable and eco-friendly approaches to mitigate the adverse effects of salt stress on plants. Medicinal plants have gained attention in this regard because of their ability to thrive in harsh environmental conditions, including saline soils (Miransari et al, 2022;Haider et al, 2023). Korea's mountainous and coastal regions are renowned for their scenic landscapes and their ecological importance.…”

The impact of soil salinity on various wild plant species, including Peucedanum japonicum, Astragalus membranaceus, Lepidium sativum, Acyranthes bidentata, and Platycodon grandiflorum, was investigated in this study. Different concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl) were used to induce salt stress, and the salt sensitivity index was employed to assess species-specific responses. Among the plants studied, Lepidium sativum exhibited the lowest sensitivity to salt stress during germination across all NaCl concentrations. For instance, at 50 mM NaCl, there were decreases of 7.2% in germination percentage, 4.22% in germination energy, 0.35% in germination index, 7.2% in peak value, and 11.99% in germination value. These percentages decreased further, ranging from 15.30% to 30.92%, at 100 mM NaCl, and more substantially at 150 mM NaCl, where reductions ranged from 42.94% to 66.26%, except for the germination rate, which only decreased by 0.05%. Conversely, Peucedanum japonicum demonstrated the highest sensitivity, experiencing reductions ranging from 27.46% to 100% at 50 mM NaCl, and complete reductions (100%) at 100 and 150 mM NaCl concentrations across all evaluated parameters. In terms of seedling growth, Acyranthes bidentata displayed the lowest sensitivity, with minimal reductions observed in various parameters, while Lepidium sativum showed significant reductions in several aspects of seedling growth under salt stress. The study underscored genetic variation in response to salt stress among the evaluated plant species, suggesting Acyranthes bidentate as a promising candidate for cultivation under salt-stress conditions. This information holds significance for utilizing unfavorable lands for plant cultivation.

“…Plants respond to salt stress by undergoing changes in their metabolic activity to counteract the toxicity induced by excessive salt levels [ 64 ]. Salinity often causes osmotic imbalance and ionic toxicity in plants, leading to membrane disruption and cellular dehydration in the cytoplasm [ 65 ]. These changes in ionic and osmotic components can result in either an increase or decrease in the accumulation of plant secondary metabolites.…”

Secondary metabolites are gaining an increasing importance in various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, dyes, and food, as is the need for reliable and efficient methods of procuring these compounds. To develop sustainable and cost-effective approaches, a comprehensive understanding of the biosynthetic pathways and the factors influencing secondary metabolite production is essential. These compounds are a unique type of natural product which recognizes the oxidative damage caused by stresses, thereby activating the defence mechanism in plants. Various methods have been developed to enhance the production of secondary metabolites in plants. The elicitor-induced in vitro culture technique is considered an efficient tool for studying and improving the production of secondary metabolites in plants. In the present review, we have documented various biosynthetic pathways and the role of secondary metabolites under diverse environmental stresses. Furthermore, a practical strategy for obtaining consistent and abundant secondary metabolite production via various elicitation agents used in culturing techniques is also mentioned. By elucidating the intricate interplay of regulatory factors, this review paves the way for future advancements in sustainable and efficient production methods for high-value secondary metabolites.
