Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinsk, a valuable tree species, exhibits limited tolerance to salinity, hindering its cultivation in saline soils.

Results showed that the application of SA or BR significantly alleviated salt-induced growth inhibition and oxidative stress in C. paliurus, but the alleviating effects varied in their application doses. The applications of 0.5 mM SA or 1.0 mg L-1 BR enhanced seedling height by 89.7-97.4% and photosynthetic rate by 106.3-146.9% whereas reducing salt injury index by 36.0-38.0%, which is mainly via regulating the antioxidant enzyme activities, secondary metabolite accumulation and gene expressions associated with these processes. Visualization staining of H2O2, O2•- and cell viability also revealed that applications of 0.5 mM SA or 1.0 mg L-1 BR reduced the distributions of H2O2 and O2•- in leaves and invigorated cell viability under salt stress. Based on the analysis of reactive oxygen species metabolism and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways, we infer that the SA or BR applications could alleviate the salt-stress in C. paliurus mainly via regulating reactive oxygen species scavenging and the expression of genes related to antioxidant enzymes and secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathways.

One common mechanism used by plants to cope with drought stress is to change the composition of their leaf cuticular waxes. Cuticular waxes are essential for controlling non-stomatal water loss and are typically composed of a homologous series of very-long-chain fatty acid-derived compounds, as well as flavonoids, tocopherols, triterpenoids, and phytosterols. In this study, we compared the cuticular waxes of 339 natural accessions of Populus trichocarpa (black cottonwood) grown under control and drought conditions in a common garden. A Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) was then used to identify candidate genes associated with cuticular wax biosynthesis and/or its regulation. Although no major differences were observed in total wax load when subject to drought conditions, the amounts of the individual wax constituents were indeed responsive to drought. Specifically, changes in alkenes, alcohols, esters, and aldehydes were evident, and suggest that they contribute to the drought response/tolerance in poplar. GWAS uncovered several genes linked to fatty acid biosynthesis, including CER1, CER3, CER4, FATB, FAB1, FAR3, FAR4, KCS, and a homolog of SOH1, as well as other candidate genes that may be involved in coordinating the drought responses in poplar trees. Our findings provide new evidence that genotype-specific shifts in wax composition, rather than total wax accumulation, contribute to drought adaptation in poplar. Additionally, we show that genetic variation in key wax biosynthetic genes drives cuticular wax plasticity in P. trichocarpa under drought, identifying putative molecular targets for improving stress resilience in trees. This study expands our understanding of the adaptative mechanisms of the cuticle and their potential for enhancing drought tolerance in poplar species.</p>","PeriodicalId":23286,"journal":{"name":"Tree physiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144080642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To elucidate the mechanism of salt resistance in poplar, physiological and transcriptomic analyses were conducted on 84K poplar (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa) under varying salt concentrations (0, 100, 200 and 300 mM NaCl). As salt levels increased, observable damage to poplar progressively intensified. Differentially expressed genes under salt stress were primarily enriched in photosynthesis, redox activity and glutathione metabolism pathways. Salt stress reduced chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate, accompanied by the downregulation of photosynthesis-related genes. NaCl (300 mM) significantly inhibited the photochemical activity of photosystems. The higher photochemical activity under 100 and 200 mM NaCl was attributed to the activated PGR5-cyclic electron flow photoprotective mechanism. However, the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase-like (NDH)-cyclic electron flow was inhibited under all salt levels. Salt stress led to reactive oxygen species accumulation, activating the ASA-GSH cycle and antioxidant enzymes to mitigate oxidative damage. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis showed that five photosynthesis-related hub genes (e.g., FNR and TPI) were down-regulated and nine antioxidant-related hub genes (e.g., GRX, GPX and GST) were up-regulated under salt stress conditions. PagGRXC9 encodes glutaredoxin and was found to be differentially expressed during the salt stress condition. Functional studies showed that overexpressing PagGRXC9 enhanced salt tolerance in yeast, and in poplar, it improved growth, FV/FM, non-photochemical quenching values and resistance to H2O2-induced oxidative stress under salt stress. This study constructed the photosynthetic and antioxidant response network for salt stress in poplar, revealing that PagGRXC9 enhances salt tolerance by reducing photoinhibition and increasing antioxidant capacity.

A comparison of the microclimate with long-term meteorological records of low temperature extremes permitted the calculation of a realistic, long-term margin of safety for 12 Rhododendron species. Surprisingly, frost resistance and phenological events were matching for leaf-out time (not flowering) in higher elevation species only. Flower-leaf sequence (FLS) and frost resistance were linked for species at higher elevation and the earliest flowering species at lower elevation only. Despite a selection of FLS by elevation, flowers (including petals, filaments and ovaries) were still prone to frost damage during the early growing season at both lower and higher elevations, while new leaves were generally safe on long-term scales, regardless of phenology and elevation. In contrast to lower montane elevation, where severe frost is rare in spring, treeline elevation species maintain safety margins over centennial time-scales by adjusting leaf-out phenology.

However, in many cases, the δ18O of source water use is assumed to reflect that of precipitation, which is often not the case in semi-arid to arid ecosystems where trees use deeper and older water from previous precipitation events (or even groundwater). Furthermore, the degree to which δ18Ocell reflects source water and atmospheric aridity depends on pex, normally defined as the proportion of oxygen atoms that exchange between isotopically enriched carbohydrates from the leaf and unenriched xylem water during cellulose synthesis. Many studies treat pex as a constant. However, pex can only be estimated with direct measurements of δ18Ocell and the δ18O of tree source water and sucrose. Additionally, other physiological mechanisms (e.g., photosynthate translocation) can alter the isotopic signal before cellulose is produced. Thus, determining this 'apparent pex' (apex; which includes those other physiological mechanisms such as photosynthate translocation plus the exchange of oxygen atoms during cellulose synthesis), can be difficult. In this study, we collected δ18O of xylem water and δ18O of wood cellulose from seven stands of Ponderosa pine situated at the northern boundary of the North American Monsoon (NAM) climate system to assess how potential variability in apex influenced how source water and aridity were recorded in δ18Ocell. We compared measured and modeled values of δ18Ocell and found that more arid sites under-represented the vapor pressure deficit (VPD) signal in cellulose while wetter sites over-represented the VPD signal in cellulose. We also found that apex varied as a function of site aridity, where low precipitation and high VPD led to high apex, while high precipitation and low VPD led to low apex.

Budburst and leaf expansion require water absorption, and current-year vessels, which function as water pathways, begin to mature in early spring. However, whether the limitation of xylem reactivation by snow affects budburst and leaf expansion remains unclear. The response of winter buds to seasonal changes in both air and soil temperatures under snow cover, as buds transition from dormancy to budburst, requires clarification. The aim of this study was to clarify how snow affects budburst and leaf expansion. We focused on whether limitations in xylem reactivation and the restrictions on water use in stems, twigs and buds due to snow affect budburst. We established two distinct sites with different snow depths in Japan. From winter to summer, we observed leaf phenology, current-year xylem reactivation and measured bud-water content in response to ambient temperatures in canopy trees of Quercus crispula and Fagus crenata. Water absorption in winter buds towards bud burst may not be suppressed by the limitation of xylem reactivation, because the maturation of current-year vessels is likely important for water use for new leaf expansion after budburst in both tree species and sites. We suggest that current-year vessels matured for water use for new leaf expansion and transpiration because vessel maturation timing was linked to the leaf growth period during early spring. From the results of water absorption rate in winter buds towards budburst, we elucidated that budburst timing was delayed because winter buds require substantial time to absorb water in a forest with a deep snow cover during spring than in a forest with less snow cover.
