“…Nevertheless, this is not sufficiently proven, as the literature does not provide data demonstrating concentrations of sulfur (S) and iron (Fe) in the first horizon of the plots' soil. Some studies conducted specifically in mangrove soils indicate the presence of acidity caused by sulfuric acids, but this information refers specifically to soils previously covered by mangroves [40,60,[62][63][64]. On this basis, it is possible that soils with significant concentrations of toxicity (such as Na and Fe) and acidity (SO 3 ) occur predominantly in new mangrove fields (bolanha novo in Kriol) and to a lesser extent in older fields of the tidal mangrove area (bolanha de tarrafe in Kriol).…”

Mangrove swamp rice production (MSRP) refers to rice cultivation in former mangrove soils that have been anthropogenically modified for food production. The method utilizes the largest possible storage of fresh water to desalinate the soils and make them productive. However, temporal variability in rainfall patterns causes loss of efficiency in production, impacting crop growth and reducing productivity. To improve MSRP, it is necessary to identify the primary constraints associated with salinity, enhancing and maximizing freshwater storage efficiency and water productivity. This study provides a general description of the MSRP system in both the northern and southern regions of Guinea-Bissau, aiming at the identification of the main water management limitations. The description involves the use of typologies and the identification of zones with specific characteristics within the paddies. Furthermore, this review includes an analysis of the physicochemical characteristics of soils in relation to salinity issues, descriptions of agronomic management, rice varieties, and the significance of managing dikes and bunds to improve mangrove swamp rice water management. This study shows how the MSRPS is characterized by dynamism and complexity, involving a wide range of constraints associated with salinity features, cultural influences, and microclimatic conditions that are subject to temporal variations.

“…Global and national strategies for capacity building are essential to link science and technology with economic growth and human wellbeing, enhance decision-making, address the underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields to harness diverse talent to tackle global challenges. (Naidoo, 2023). In West Africa, the mutual dependence between shellfisheries, mangroves and the human component has frequently been overlooked.…”

“…Mangroves grow in swamps and coastal areas where sea waters and fresh waters meet in tropical and subtropical regions [12]. They play important ecological roles, such as acting as windbreaks, and in wave attenuation, land building, providing habitats for birds and purifying the ocean.…”

Sonneratia apetala is an essential mangrove wetland restoration tree species. Studying its molecular mechanism for salt tolerance could lay a foundation for further cultivating excellent resistant germplasm. This study used a combination of PacBio isoform sequencing (Iso-seq) and BGISEQ RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to analyze the molecular mechanism to salt stress response of one-year-old S. apetala leaves. The growth and physiological analysis showed that physiological indexes such as growth rate, net photosynthetic rate and antioxidant enzyme activity all exhibit significant changes under salt stress. From Iso-seq, a total of 295,501 full-length transcripts, with an average length of 1418 bp, were obtained. RNA-seq produced 4712 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) as compared to a control group. Of these, 930 were identified to be co-expressed during the STEM time sequence analysis. Further, 715 and 444 co-expressed DEGs were annotated by GO and KEGG analyses, respectively. Moreover, 318 of the co-expressed DEGs were annotated as essential genes that were implicated in salt stress response of S. apetala, which were involved in transcription factors, signal transduction, hormone response, ROS homeostasis, osmotic balance, cell wall synthesis or modification. These results provide candidate targets for further characterization and offer insights into the salt-tolerant mechanism of S. apetala.
