This study investigates differential expression of proteins in leaf samples harvested in summer from rooibos plants at two relatively cool, and two relatively hot sites in the Cederberg region. A total of 180 proteins were differentially expressed and of these, 113 proteins were more abundant at cooler sites while 67 proteins were more abundant at the heat-stressed (HS) sites. The higher temperatures at the HS sites led to a reduced protein abundance due to temperature thresholds for protein production during HS. Heat shock proteins were more abundant in the HS plants indicating an enhanced thermotolerance. Plants at the cooler sites overexpressed proteins associated with aiding photosynthesis and protecting photosystems, resulting in better photosynthetic rates and biomass accumulation. High light and moderate HS conditions prompted the regulation of proteins involved in chlorophyll synthesis and light protection to maintain effective functioning. Proteins involved in oxidative stress responses were expressed in plants at all sites, which was mirrored by high concentrations of antioxidants. Rooibos thermotolerance relies on the expression of HSPs and oxidative stress response proteins, while photosynthesis-related proteins dominate the cooler sites, optimizing their function and ultimately growth.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":6973,"journal":{"name":"Acta Physiologiae Plantarum","volume":"47 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11738-025-03828-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144891394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed variation in the morph-agronomic characters of the cultivars. There were also significant (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) positive correlations in the traits studied, which means that the traits can be improved simultaneously.

The biomass yield of NGB02082 was higher than that of NGB02089, although the latter grew more vigorously. However, NGB02089 had longer roots. The GC–MS analysis identified 12 significant metabolites that differed in composition between the fonio cultivars, including sugars, fatty acids and siloxanes. The amount of siloxane decreased in NGB02082 with increasing drought duration, but increased in NGB02089.

Increasing proline content was most strongly significantly correlated with malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Proline, MDA and total chlorophyll contents were included in a multivariate analysis to classify the rice genotypes into four heat tolerance groups: tolerant (T), moderately tolerant (MT), sensitive (S), and highly sensitive (HS). The means of the proline content, MDA content, visual symptom score, and upper epidermal layer thickness (UET) were significantly different among the four tolerance groups and tended to increase and then decrease with decreasing levels of tolerance. Together, these findings indicated that these parameters were the most reliable indices for identifying heat tolerance. In addition to the commonly used visual symptom score and growth performance, proline content and UET could be two other useful and less expensive physiological and anatomical index measurements to differentiate heat-tolerant rice from heat-sensitive rice. The results of this study also showed that several local Thai cultivars have high heat tolerance and could be used for obtaining heat tolerance alleles for breeding programs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":6973,"journal":{"name":"Acta Physiologiae Plantarum","volume":"47 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145162473","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}

M. Peterson is a species thriving in salt-affected regions across Punjab, Pakistan. To investigate intraspecific variations, six distinct populations were selected from diverse saline environments: (1) Pakka Anna and Sahian Wala from the least saline regions, (2) Jhalar and Kalar Kahar Lake from moderately saline areas, and (3) Uchali Lake and Khabbeki Lake from hyper-saline zones. These populations, originating from a range of salinity gradients, provide a unique opportunity to study the adaptive mechanisms of <i>C. flagellifera</i> to varying levels of soil salinity. Stomata from highly saline areas were small and narrowly elliptical, while they were larger and rhomboidal in moderately saline areas and circular in least saline areas. Populations from hyper-saline environments (Uchali Lake, Khabbeki Lake) displayed remarkable trait variation, including thicker epidermal layers, larger vascular bundles, and efficient osmotic adjustments, indicating their superior salt tolerance. Populations from least saline areas (Sahian Wala, Pakka Anna) showed structural features like thicker leaves and larger epidermal cells that enhance water retention. Moderately saline populations (Kallar Kahar Lake, Jhallar Lake) exhibited intermediate traits, balancing salt tolerance with efficient resource allocation. These anatomical and physiological responses suggest that <i>C. flagellifera</i> exhibits high adaptability to varying salinity stress. The study highlights the potential of hyper-saline populations for use in the reclamation of salt-affected soils, offering a sustainable approach to land restoration. </p></div>","PeriodicalId":6973,"journal":{"name":"Acta Physiologiae Plantarum","volume":"47 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145163115","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}
