“…The slow germination and high concentration of nutrients could be the major cause of this abundance of pathogenic microorganisms [30]. Poor germination could also be a result of osmotic stress [31]. The BJ contains minerals and sugars, which makes it harder to infiltrate the seeds.…”

Organic and ecological farming programs require new and efficient biostimulants with beneficial properties for the sustainable and safe production of seedlings and ornamental plants. We examined the effect of non-fermented and lacto-fermented alfalfa brown juice (BJ) on seed germination and the vegetative, physiological, and anatomical properties of French marigold (Tagetes patula L. ‘Csemő’) plants which were treated with 0.5–10% fermented and non-fermented BJ, with tap water applied as a control. Applying 0.5% fermented BJ significantly improved seed germination compared with non-fermented BJ, resulting in an increase of 9.6, 11.2, 10.9, and 41.7% in the final germination percent, germination rate index, germination index, and vigor index, respectively. In addition, it increased the root and shoot length by 7.9 and 16.1%, respectively, root and shoot dry mass by 20 and 47.6%, respectively, and the number of leaves by 28.8% compared to the control. Furthermore, an increase in contents of water-soluble phenol, chlorophyll a and b, and carotenoid was reported upon the application of 0.5% fermented BJ, while peroxidase activity decreased. Our results prove that alfalfa BJ can be enrolled as a biostimulant as part of the circular farming approach which supports the sustainable horticultural practice.

Salt stress is one of the most serious environmental stressors that affect productivity of salt-sensitive crops. Medicago ciliaris is an annual legume whose adaptation to agroclimatic conditions has not been well described. This study focused on the salinity tolerance of M. ciliaris genotypes compared to M. intertexta and M. scutellata in terms of plant growth, physiology, and biochemistry. Salt tolerance was determined at both germination and early seedling growth. Germination and hydroponic assays were used with exposing seeds to 0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mM NaCl. Among seven genotypes of M. ciliaris studied, Pop1, 355, and 667, were most salt tolerant. Populations like 355 and 667 showed marked tolerance to salinity at both germination and seedling stages (TI ≤1, SI(FGP) > 0 increased FGP ≥ 20% and SI(DW) < 0 (DW decline ≤ 20%); at 100 mM); while Pop1 was the most salt tolerant one at seedling stages with (TI =1.79, SI(FGP) < 0 decline of FGP ≤ 40% and with increased DW to 79%); at 150 mM NaCl). The genotypes, 306, 773, and M. scutellata, were moderately tolerant to salt stress depending on salt concentration. Our study may be used as an efficient strategy to reveal genetic variation in response to salt stress. This approach allows selection for desirable traits, enabling more efficient applications in breeding methods to achieve stress-tolerant M. ciliaris populations.

“…Jamshidi Goharrizi et al (2020f) reported that the activity of antioxidants such as ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, and guaiacol peroxidase (GP) were enhanced in pistachio rootstocks under drought or salinity stress or a combination of the two stresses. Numerous studies have shown that the increased activity of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems are associated with tolerance to drought and salinity in a variety of plants including, wheat (Ahanger and Agarwal, 2017;Ahmadi et al, 2018;Dugasa et al, 2019), maize (AbdElgawad et al, 2016), rice (Islam et al, 2016;Basu et al, 2017;Vighi et al, 2017), Amaranthus tricolor (Sarker et al, 2018), soybeans (Liu et al, 2017b), Chenopodium quinoa (Fischer et al, 2017), Thymus vulgaris & T. daenensis (Bistgani et al, 2019), citrus (Hussain et al, 2018), cotton (Ibrahim et al, 2019a), Nicotiana tabacum (Da Silva et al, 2017), Fargesia rufa (Liu et al, 2017a), cabbage (Sahin et al, 2018), Anacardium occidentale (Lima et al, 2018), Cucumis sativus (Ouzounidou et al, 2016), sweet basil (Jakovljević et al, 2017), Carthamus tinctorius (Golkar and Taghizadeh, 2018), and Tagetes minuta (Moghaddam et al, 2019). The results of a study by Sheikh-Mohamadi et al (2017) showed that high levels of diamine oxidase (histaminase: DAO) and polyamine oxidase were associated with increased tolerance to drought and salinity.…”

The most important types of abiotic stress that affect agricultural crops throughout the world, are drought and salinity. These stresses will continue to worsen as the current climate crisis progresses. Plants have evolved a complex set of mechanisms in order to protect themselves from salt and drought. At the macrobiological level, these include alterations in growth rate, water balance, antioxidant defenses, and photosynthesis. Altered metabolites include proline, carbohydrates, glycine betaine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and polyamines. It is not surprising, thus, that one of the most important research areas of plant biology is the study of plant responses to abiotic stress and stress tolerance mechanisms. The methods, used in this study, are diverse, including the study of physiological properties, and biochemical research, and metabolomics approaches toward abiotic stress. This awareness 2 should lead to the development of (near) future, sustainable and better-adapted agriculture in the sense of global warming and environmental emission scenarios. Also, different information presented in this overview can be regarded by the scientific community to produce tolerant cultivars in response to salinity and drought stresses.
