“…In fact, K + is considered as the most abundant cation in plant cells and is crucial for plant growth and development [38]. In agreement with our results, Sleimi et al [39] reported that a decrease in the growth of the halophyte Plantago maritima was associated with a decline in the uptake of K + . There is a disruption of the water intake of their organs, resulting in an invasion of the cytoplasm by Na + toxic ion.…”

The wheat dehydrin (DHN-5) gives birth to salinity tolerance to transgenic Arabidopsis plants by the regulation of proline metabolism and the ROS scavenging system. Dehydrins (DHNs) are involved in plant abiotic stress tolerance. In this study, we reported that salt tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing durum wheat dehydrin (DHN-5) was closely related to the activation of the proline metabolism enzyme (P5CS) and some antioxidant biocatalysts. Indeed, DHN-5 improved P5CS activity in the transgenic plants generating a significant proline accumulation. Moreover, salt tolerance of Arabidopsis transgenic plants was accompanied by an excellent activation of antioxidant enzymes like catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxide dismutase (POD) and generation of a lower level of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in leaves compared to the wild-type plants. The enzyme activities were enhanced in these transgenic plants in the presence of exogenous proline. Nevertheless, proline accumulation was slightly reduced in transgenic plants promoting chlorophyll levels. All these results suggest the crucial role of DHN-5 in response to salt stress through the activation of enzymes implicated in proline metabolism and in ROS scavenging enzymes.

“…Salt tolerance evaluation was complicated and had species specificity in different plants. Although some factors such as CAT activity in pea varieties, root proline content in Plantago maritima, leaf MDA level and SOD activity in soybean, and shoot dry weight in wheat were used to distinguish the salt tolerance (Noreen and Ashraf 2009;Zhang et al 2011;Sharbatkhari et al 2013;Sleimi et al 2015), the limitations of using a single evaluation indicator had been discussed (Mwadzingeni et al 2016). PCA was a comprehensive evaluation method that used widely to assess different resistant germplasm resources (Wang et al 2013).…”

In this study, four genotypes (Acva-1, Acva-2, Acva-3 and ZM-2) of Actinidia germplasm resources were grown in different salt concentrations (0, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 g L-1 NaCl). The growth, physiological and biochemical indicators were measured, and a graded scale was developed as the salt damage index (SDI) according to different damage symptoms in leaves. The results showed SDI increased gradually, and average number and length of new shoot decreased significantly. Three antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase) and two osmotic adjustment substances (soluble sugar and proline) showed different changes in old and new leaves of four genotypes. SPAD values exhibited a decreased trend in the whole except in the new leaf of Acva-2. Malonaldehyde contents increased and root activity decreased with the increasing salt concentrations. Principal component analysis was used to assess the salt tolerance, and the results showed Acva-3, from Actinidia valvata Dunn., had the strongest tolerance to salt, and could be a potential resistant resource to the salt-tolerance dedicated rootstock breeding of kiwifruit.
