This study investigated the potential of halotolerant bacteria, isolated from the rhizosphere of wild halotolerant plants in Turkey's Salt Lake basin, to enhance salt stress tolerance in maize (Zea mays L.). The rhizospheres of 17 different wild halotolerant plants were selected for bacterial isolation, resulting in the identification of 22 halotolerant bacteria using 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Among these, 19 isolates were found to possess positive activity for 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase and nitrogen fixation. When the maize seeds inoculated with these 19 isolates were grown under normal conditions, four isolates‒TG-4 (Halomonas arcis), TG-8 (Marinococcus tarigensis), TG-12 (Halobacillus dabanensis), and TG-20 (Halomonas eurihalina)-significantly stimulated seedling growth and development. To evaluate the effect of these four isolates on salt tolerance, inoculated seeds were grown under various salt conditions (0.0, 75, 150, and 250 mM NaCl). The responses of plants to salt stress were analyzed by evaluating growth parameters, membrane damage, photosynthetic pigment and proline content, reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation levels, and antioxidant enzyme activities. According to the parameters, the results indicated that TG-4, TG-8, and TG-12, in particular, have the potential to function as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and effectively enhance salt stress tolerance in the maize seedlings. Overall, this research highlights the potential of halotolerant bacteria to improve salt stress tolerance in maize plants through multifaceted mechanisms, offering valuable insights for sustainable agriculture in saline environments.","PeriodicalId":8853,"journal":{"name":"Biologia futura","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143673231","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}

This study investigated the effects of different pollen diets on the longevity, fecundity, and survival rate of adult H. hebetor wasps. The experiment utilized seven pollen diets, each with four replications, including a control along with rapeseed, apple, peach, almond, date, and honeybee pollen. While longevity was not significantly influenced by the pollen diets, fecundity showed a notable increase in the honeybee, rapeseed, and date pollen diets compared to the control. The honeybee and rapeseed diets resulted in the highest fecundity, placing them in the same category. Significant differences were observed in the values of the intrinsic rate of increase (r), gross reproduction rate (GRR), net reproduction rate (R0), and doubling time (Dt) across the different pollen diets. The intrinsic rate of increase for H. hebetor was significantly higher when fed almond pollen (0.065 ± 0.003d-1) compared to the other diets. The maximum gross reproduction rate (GRR) and net reproduction rate (R0) were associated with the date pollen diet (3.38 ± 0.32 and 2.61 ± 0.39 female/female), respectively. The minimum population doubling time (Dt) was observed with the almond pollen diet (10.58 ± 0.6 d). Overall, pollen diets significantly impact the intrinsic rate of increase and other growth parameters of H. hebetor parasitoids. Almond, date palm, rapeseed, and honeybee pollen diets are particularly suitable for the mass rearing of this parasitoid wasp.","PeriodicalId":8853,"journal":{"name":"Biologia futura","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143662336","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}

In this study, 42 adolescent male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into six groups: control (C), socially isolated (SI), voluntary exercise (VE), regular exercise (RE), socially isolated + voluntary exercise (SI-VE), and socially isolated + regular exercise (SI-RE). Socially isolated groups were kept in separate cages for 4 weeks. Treadmill and wheel running were used in the exercise groups. The following behavioral tests-elevated plus maze (EPM), open field, ultrasonic vocalization (USV), and Morris water maze (MWM)-rats were euthanized, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels were measured in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus. Statistically, the differences between the groups were evaluated by one-way ANOVA and post hoc LSD tests using IBM SPSS software. In the EPM, locomotor activity was higher in the voluntary exercise groups. In the MWM, both regular exercise groups found the platform faster. In the USV, the SI-RE group produced more 50-kHz sounds. BDNF and NGF levels in the hippocampus were higher in the SI-RE and SI-VE groups; VEGF levels were higher in the SI-RE group. Neuron density in the PFC increased in the SI-RE and VE groups, while neuron density in the hippocampus increased in the SI-RE, SI-VE, and VE groups.

The physiological role of kisspeptin in the interaction of the HPG axis and the HPA axis is not fully understood yet. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the possible effects of peripheral injection (intraperitoneally) of kisspeptin on HPG axis and HPA axis activity as well. Adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into seven groups as sham (control), kisspeptin (10 nmol), p234 (10 nmol), kisspeptin + p234, kisspeptin + antalarmin (10 mg/kg), kisspeptin + astressin2b (100 μg/kg), and kisspeptin + atosiban (0.250 mg/kg) (n = 10 each group). At the end of the experiment, the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and serum samples of the rats were collected. Serum follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels of the kisspeptin, kisspeptin + antalarmin and kisspeptin + astressin2b groups were significantly higher than the control group. Serum testosterone levels were significantly higher in the kisspeptin, kisspeptin + antalarmin, kisspeptin + astressin2b, and kisspeptin + atosiban groups that compared to the control group. There was no a significant difference in corticotropic releasing hormone immunoreactivity in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, serum adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosterone concentrations among all groups.

Sandalwood plants were harvested after 180 days of imposing stress treatments. Morphological traits (plant height, collar diameter, shoot fresh and dry biomass) showed significant reduction under water deficit and salinity stress, which were further aggravated under combined water deficit and salinity stress. Studied plant water traits, ionic balance and gas exchange attributes were also reduced by these stresses. While among studied host, Shisham and Dek identified as the best host species under water deficit, salinity and interactive stress by maintaining ion homeostasis, osmotic adjustments and plant water regulation. Results depicted that sandalwood plants cultivated alone were not able to survive under salinity and combined stress conditions and showed poor growth under water deficit and control conditions. Different indices were also calculated based on morpho-physiological and ionic traits and also indicated that sandalwood grown with Dalbergia sissoo and Melia dubia showed higher drought, salt and stress tolerance potential, which made sandalwood adaptable under these stresses.
