“…Therefore, the modulation of GABA through AA or NO application may promote ion homeostasis and enhance stress tolerance [ 84 ]. The application of NO [ 22 ] and AA [ 26 ] has been reported to upregulate plant nutrient uptake and leaf photosynthesis, leading to improved growth traits under salinity stress.…”

“…AA and NO efficiently contribute to balancing the antagonistic effect of Na + on K + uptake, increasing its accumulation. AA treatment benefits canola plants in terms of stomatal conductance, chlorophyll and protein biosynthesis, enzyme activation, protection of membrane structure, and reduced activation of stress hormones [ 26 , 88 ], while NO enhances Na + /K + balance by triggering the activities of the proton-pumping ATPase, H + -pumping inorganic pyrophosphatase [ 89 ], and Na + /H + antiporters, as well as potassium channels [ 90 ].…”

“…In this regard, SA induces stress tolerance and enhances plant phenotypic traits by increasing chlorophyll content and antioxidant capacity, ultimately promoting the performance of the photosynthetic system and lowering oxidative stress [ 104 ]. The role of AA in increasing SA under salinity stress as a tolerance mechanism has been reported in strawberry plants [ 26 ], and the interaction between NO and SA can act as a modulator of multifaceted plant processes and mitigate the damaging impacts of stress conditions [ 28 ]. Such interactions govern plant development, with SA controlling NO and its related molecules, which then upregulate SA levels, thus decreasing NO modulation of oxidative bursts [ 105 ].…”

“…In this regard, Cronan and Laporte [ 25 ] found that AA acts instantaneously as a substrate for acetyl-CoA synthetase, producing acetyl-CoA that is incorporated into the tricarboxylic acid and glyoxylate cycles. AA has been used to meliorate the damaging impacts of salinity [ 19 , 26 ] and drought [ 27 ], but its utilization for combined salinity and Li-stress has not been investigated yet.…”

In this study, canola (Brassica napus L.) seedlings were treated with individual and combined salinity and lithium (Li) stress, with and without acetic acid (AA) or nitric acid (NO), to investigate their possible roles against these stresses. Salinity intensified Li-induced damage, and the principal component analysis revealed that this was primarily driven by increased oxidative stress, deregulation of sodium and potassium accumulation, and an imbalance in tissue water content. However, pretreatment with AA and NO prompted growth, re-established sodium and potassium homeostasis, and enhanced the defense system against oxidative and nitrosative damage by triggering the antioxidant capacity. Combined stress negatively impacted phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity, affecting flavonoids, carotenoids, and anthocyanin levels, which were then restored in canola plants primed with AA and NO. Additionally, AA and NO helped to maintain osmotic balance by increasing trehalose and proline levels and upregulating signaling molecules such as hydrogen sulfide, γ-aminobutyric acid, and salicylic acid. Both AA and NO improved Li detoxification by increasing phytochelatins and metallothioneins, and reducing glutathione contents. Comparatively, AA exerted more effective protection against the detrimental effects of combined stress than NO. Our findings offer novel perspectives on the impacts of combining salt and Li stress.

As sessile organisms, plants constantly face a variety of abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and metal/metalloid toxicity, all of which possess significant threats to plant growth and yield potential. Improving plant resilience to such abiotic stresses bears paramount importance in practicing sustainable agriculture worldwide. Acetic acid/acetate has been recognized as an important metabolite with multifaceted roles in regulating plant adaptation to diverse abiotic stresses. Recent studies have elucidated that acetic acid can potentiate plants’ inherent mechanisms to withstand the adverse effects of abiotic stresses through the regulation of lipid metabolism, hormone signaling, epigenetic changes, and physiological defense mechanisms. Numerous studies also underpin the potential use of acetic acid in boosting crop production under unfavorable environmental conditions. This review provides a comprehensive update on the understanding of how acetic acid regulates plant photosynthesis, acts as an antitranspirant, detoxifies reactive oxygen species to alleviate oxidative stress, interacts with phytohormones to regulate physiological processes, and improves soil fertility and microbial diversity, with a specific focus on drought, salinity, and metal toxicity. We also highlight the eco-friendly and economic potential of acetic acid that may attract farmers from developing countries to harness the benefits of acetic acid application for boosting abiotic stress resistance in crops. Given that acetic acid is a widely accessible, inexpensive, and eco-friendly compound, the revelation of acetic acid-mediated regulatory pathways and its crosstalk with other signaling molecules will have significant importance in developing a sustainable strategy for mitigating abiotic stresses in crops.

Salinity stress has detrimental effects on various aspects of plant development. However, our understanding of strategies to mitigate these effects in crop plants remains limited. Recent research has shed light on the potential of sodium acetate as a mitigating component against salinity stress in several plant species. Here, we show the role of acetate sodium in counteracting the adverse effects on oat (Avena sativa) plants subjected to NaCl-induced salinity stress, including its impact on plant morphology, photosynthetic parameters, and gene expression related to photosynthesis and antioxidant capacity, ultimately leading to osmoprotection. The five-week experiment involved subjecting oat plants to four different conditions: water, salt (NaCl), sodium acetate, and a combination of salt and sodium acetate. The presence of NaCl significantly inhibited plant growth and root elongation, disrupted chlorophylls and carotenoids content, impaired chlorophyll fluorescence, and down-regulated genes associated with the plant antioxidant defense system. Furthermore, our findings reveal that when stressed plants were treated with sodium acetate, it partially reversed these adverse effects across all analyzed parameters. This reversal was particularly evident in the increased content of proline, thereby ensuring osmoprotection for oat plants, even under stressful conditions. These results provide compelling evidence regarding the positive impact of sodium acetate on various plant development parameters, with a particular focus on the enhancement of photosynthetic activity.
