It has been shown that excess zinc has an inhibitory effect on root and shoot growth and also enhances the accumulation of one of the indicators of LPO development: malondialdehyde (MDA).

Attempts to determine the “phytoavailable” metal fraction have yielded inconsistent results. Further complications arise in contaminated soils containing multiple metals, making interpretation of results difficult. Therefore, our study focused on an agricultural field in El Melón, Valparaíso region, central Chile, which is predominantly contaminated with copper due to the destruction of a tailings dam by the 1965 earthquake. Our primary objective was to determine which soil copper pool, either soluble or total, controls copper phytotoxicity at this unique site. Total copper ranged from 76 to 1672 mg/kg, while soluble copper (extracted by 0.1 M KNO<sub>3</sub>) ranged from 0.11 to 0.34 mg/kg. Using a prolonged 128-day ecotoxicity assessment with pepper (<i>Capsicum annuum</i> L.), our results indicate that total soil copper content emerges as a robust predictor of various plant responses. Regressions showed significant relationships for shoot copper content (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.77, <i>P</i> < 0.001), shoot dry weight (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.56, <i>P</i> = 0.02), xylem thickness (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.33, <i>P</i> = 0.08), and leaf thickness (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.29, <i>P</i> = 0.10). Conversely, the influence of soluble copper concentration on pepper responses and shoot copper content was not statistically significant (<i>P</i> > 0.1). Our discussion underscores that plant element uptake depends not only on the concentrations in the soil solution (intensity), but also on the total element content in the soil (quantity) and its supply kinetics (capacity). Therefore, the total metal content of the soil was found to be a more reliable predictor of plant responses than the soluble copper fraction in the soil. The anatomical changes observed in this study represent, to the best of our knowledge, the first report of metal-induced stress in <i>Capsicum annuum</i>. From this novel perspective, the results of our study are significant, especially for plant water relations, given their dependence on xylem and leaf thickness.</p>","PeriodicalId":21477,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Plant Physiology","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seeds were exposed to NO cold plasma for 0, 5, 10, and 15 minutes and subsequently sown in Petri dishes with sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations of 0, 100, 150, and 200 mM to assess morphological and physiological responses between the 7th and 10th days of germination.

However, cold plasma treatment alone either decreased leaf pigment content or had no significant effect, whereas under salinity stress, chlorophyll <i>a</i>, chlorophyll <i>b</i>, total chlorophyll, and carotenoid levels showed varied increases with treatment duration. Conversely, anthocyanin levels decreased under salt stress with plasma treatment. The differential effects on pigment composition highlight a complex interaction between cold plasma treatment and plant physiological responses under abiotic stress, suggesting avenues for further research into optimizing treatment protocols for agricultural resilience.
