“…It has a composite genome because of its evolutionary past. Rapeseed yield restrictions have been changed owing to the augmented experience of multiple abiotic stresses [ 37 , 38 , 39 ]. Therefore, a genome-wide comprehensive investigation has been carried out to identify the CAT gene family in rapeseed for the first time.…”

Catalase (CAT) is an antioxidant enzyme expressed by the CAT gene family and exists in almost all aerobic organisms. Environmental stresses induce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that eventually hinder plant growth and development. The CAT enzyme translates the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water (H2O) and reduce the ROS levels to shelter the cells' death. So far, the CAT gene family has not been reported in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). Therefore, a genome-wide comprehensive analysis was conducted to classify the CAT genes in the rapeseed genome. The current study identified 14 BnCAT genes in the rapeseed genome. Based on phylogenetic and synteny analysis, the BnCATs belong to four groups (Groups I–IV). A gene structure and conserved motif analysis showed that Group I, Group II, and Group IV possess almost the same intron/exon pattern, and an equal number of motifs, while Group III contains diverse structures and contain 15 motifs. By analyzing the cis-elements in the promoters, we identified five hormone-correlated responsive elements and four stress-related responsive elements. Further, six putative bna-miRNAs were also identified, targeting three genes (BnCAT4, BnCAT6, and BnCAT8). Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis showed that the BnCAT genes were largely related to cellular organelles, ROS response, stimulus response, stress response, and antioxidant enzymes. Almost 10 BnCAT genes showed higher expression levels in different tissues, i.e., root, leaf, stem, and silique. The expression analysis showed that BnCAT1–BnCAT3 and BnCAT11–BnCAT13 were significantly upregulated by cold, salinity, abscisic acid (ABA), and gibberellic acid (GA) treatment, but not by drought and methyl jasmonate (MeJA). Notably, most of the genes were upregulated by waterlogging stress, except BnCAT6, BnCAT9, and BnCAT10. Our results opened new windows for future investigations and provided insights into the CAT family genes in rapeseed.

“…A considerable number of hyperaccumulators belong to the Brassicaceae and they have been widely used in the phytoremediation process [11,13,14]. This family encompasses more than 330 genera and 3700 taxa, distributed all around the world, and is of great economic importance [15,16]. Although the representatives of this family are known mainly as crops and for their use in human nutrition, they are also used in medicine and as ornamental plants [16].…”

The genus Brassica is recognized for including species with phytoaccumulation potential and a large amount of research has been carried out in this area under a variety of conditions, from laboratory experiments to field trials, with spiked or naturally contaminated soils, using one- or multi-element contaminated soil, generating various and sometimes contradictory results with limited practical applications. To date, the actual field potential of Brassica species and the feasibility of a complete phytoextraction process have not been fully evaluated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to summarize the results of the experiments that have been performed with a view to analyzing real potentials and limitations. The reduced biomass and low metal mobility in the soil have been addressed by the development of chemically or biologically assisted phytoremediation technologies, the use of soil amendments, and the application of crop management strategies. Certain issues, such as the fate of harvested biomass or the performance of species in multi-metal-contaminated soils, remain to be solved by future research. Potential improvements to current experimental settings include testing species grown to full maturity, using a greater amount of soil in experiments, conducting more trials under real field conditions, developing improved crop management systems, and optimizing solutions for harvested biomass disposal.

“…Garden cress is recognized for its pungent odour due to the presence of several volatile oils and has been used to treat various conditions, such as respiratory disorders, muscle pain, inflammation and bone fractures (Raza et al, 2020). The leaves, seeds and aerial parts' extracts have been found to produce alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, polyketides, vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates, all of which give the plant its hepatoprotective, antihypertensive, diuretics, fracture healing, respiratory disorder healing, antimicrobial, milk production, antiinflammation, antioxidant, laxative, chemoprotective and many other therapeutic properties (Raza et al, 2020). Additionally, raw rocket and radish are edible vegetables and provide a unique taste when added to salads and other dishes.…”

Aim: This study aimed to isolate, characterize and assess the plant growth-promoting traits of bacterial isolates inhabiting the rhizosphere of Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomato) against three plants—Eruca sativa, Lepidium sativum and Raphanus sativum—from Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahsa region. Methodology: bacterial isolate designated as SLK10 was obtained from the rhizosphere of tomato grown in the Al-Ahsa region, Saudi Arabia. SLK10 was further characterized morphologically, biochemically and genotypically using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The roles in alleviating salt stress effects on three important economic crops were also assessed by implementing a cross-inoculation strategy. Results: SLK10 formed a circular, non-pigmented and raised colony with an entire margin. The cells were rod shaped and Gram negative. SLK10 displayed multiple plant growth-stimulating features, such as the solubilization of inorganic phosphate and the production of phytohormones and acetoin. Comparative sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene revealed that SLK10 belonged to Pseudomonas monteilii, to which it exhibited 99.86% sequence homology. SLK10 significantly promoted the length of primary root, stem and number of leaves in Eruca sativa, Lepidium sativumand Raphanus sativus growing under 1000 ppm salt stress. The number of leaves in L. sativum and R. sativus growing under 2000 ppm salt stress was substantially enhanced by SLK10. Interpretation: SLK10 is a plant growth-promoting bacterium and can be used as a green fertilizer to increase soil fertility and plant productivity in the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia.
