Plants may activate an armament of defenses against such environmental stresses. Isoprene, the most abundant biogenic volatile organic compound emitted by plants, is supposed to induce stress tolerance directly, by quenching reactive oxygen species, or indirectly by strengthening photosynthetic membranes and reprogramming expression of genes that are involved in antioxidant defense mechanisms. On the other hand, isoprene is also involved in tropospheric chemistry that contributes to the production of air pollutants when mixing with anthropogenic gases. In this review, we summarized current knowledge about the impact of air and soil pollutants on isoprene emission from plants, focusing on possible feedback and feedforward mechanisms that may affect whole ecosystem functioning and evolution of plant species. Despite limited available information, especially about long-term effects of soil pollutants, it may be speculated that isoprene generally improves fitness of plants challenged by air and soil pollutants, and their interaction with other organisms.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135767028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family is a transcription factor family distributed throughout eukaryotes, including plants, and whose members participate in various biological processes, including plant growth, development, flowering, and stress responses. However, a few genome-wide studies of the bZIP family members have been reported. Here, 46 Asparagus bZIP members, named AobZIP01–AobZIP46, were identified from the reference genome via PFAM search and could be divided into 14 subgroups which were shown to be similar via motif and gene structure analysis. The molecular evolution, motif, and gene structure comparative analysis between A. officinalis and Arabidopsis indicated the accuracy of AobZIP member identification. Additionally, the cis-acting elements of the AobZIP members revealed that they might be associated with plant hormones and responses to abiotic stress. The collinear analysis predicted that the function of AobZIP members might be comparable to that of other species. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that AobZIP genes were enriched in the abscisic acid (ABA) pathway. Furthermore, the tissue-specific expression at the seedling stage revealed that root tissue could be used as a target tissue because of its high expression level. The expression of AobZIP genes determined by quantitative real-time PCR under abiotic stress at the seeding stage revealed that some AobZIP members could be candidate genes for plant breeding. This study offers insights for future research in improving the abiotic stress resistance of asparagus utilizing the AobZIP genes.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136212010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improved gas exchange parameters and PSII efficiency were observed in S+W and S+B treatments. AN-biostimulant treatments mitigated salt-induced oxidative stress by positively regulating the antioxidant defense system. Notably, a strong negative correlation was observed between antioxidants and oxidative markers. Furthermore, AN-biostimulant treatments induced key metabolites (organic acids, sugars, amino acids, flavonoids), emphasizing the integrated role of multiple pathways in enhancing salt tolerance in rice.
