Abstract
Seed germination is critical for plant survival and agricultural production and is affected by many cues, including internal factors and external environmental conditions. As a key enzyme in glycolysis, enolase 2 (ENO2) also plays a vital role in plant growth and abiotic stress responses. In our research, we found that the seed germination rate was lower in the AtENO2 mutation (eno2- ) than in the wild type (WT) under salt stress in Arabidopsis thaliana, while there was no significant difference under normal conditions. However, the mechanisms by which AtENO2 regulates seed germination under salt stress remain limited. In the current study, transcriptome and proteome analyses were used to compare eno2- and the WT under normal and salt stress conditions at the germination stage. There were 417 and 4442 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified by transcriptome, and 302 and 1929 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) qualified by proteome under normal and salt stress conditions, respectively. The combined analysis found abundant DEGs and DEPs related to stresses and hydrogen peroxide removal were highly down-regulated in eno2- . In addition, several DEGs and DEPs encoding phytohormone transduction pathways were identified, and the DEGs and DEPs related to ABA signaling were relatively greatly up-regulated in eno2- . Moreover, we constructed an interactive network and further identified GAPA1 and GAPB that could interact with AtENO2, which may explain the function of AtENO2 under salt stress during seed germination. Together, our results reveal that under salt stress, AtENO2 mainly affects the expression of genes and proteins related to the phytohormone signal transduction pathways, stress response factors, and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and then affects seed germination. Our study lays the foundation for further exploration of the molecular function of AtENO2 under salt stress at the seed germination stage in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Mitigation of the salinity stress in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) productivity by exogenous applications of bio-selenium nanoparticles during the early seedling stage. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 310:119815. [PMID: 35926737 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.119815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 05/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, much attention has been directed toward using nanoparticles (NPs) as one of the most effective strategies to improve plant growth, especially under salt stress conditions. Further research has been conducted to develop NPs using various chemical ways; accordingly, knowledge about the beneficial effect of bioSeNPs in rapeseed is obscure. Selenium (Se) is a vital micronutrient with a series of physiological and antioxidative properties. Seed priming is emerging as a low-cost, efficient, and environment-friendly seed treatment in nanotechnology. The current study was carried out to examine the promising effects of nanopriming via bioSeNPs on the expression level of aquaporin genes, seed microstructure, seed germination, growth traits, physiochemical attributes, and minerals uptake of two rapeseed cultivars under salinity stress conditions. Our investigation monitored the positive effects of bioSeNPs on the expression level of aquaporin genes (BnPIP1-1 and BnPIP2-1) and water uptake during the seed imbibition (4 and 8 h of priming), which indicated higher imbibition potential and germination promotion with bioSeNPs application (most effective at 150 μmol/L). The total performance index was significantly enhanced with nano-treatments in rapeseed seedlings. Collectively, nano-application improved seed microstructure, seed germination, and photosynthetic efficiency directly correlated with higher seedlings biomass, especially with a higher concentration of bioSeNPs. The enhancement in α-amylase and free amino acid contents in nanoprimed seeds resulted in rapid seed germination. Moreover, bioSeNPs increased the osmotic adjustment and enhanced the efficiency of the plant's defense system by improving the activity of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, thus enhancing ROS scavenging under salt stress. The obtained results may indicate the strengthening of seed vigor, improving seedling growth and physiochemical attributes via bioSeNPs. Our findings displayed that bioSeNPs modulated the Na+ and K+ uptake, which improved the rapeseed growth and showed a close relationship with the low contents of toxic Na+ ion; thus, it prevented oxidative damage due to salt stress. This comprehensive data can add more knowledge to understand the mechanisms behind plant-bioSeNPs interaction and provide physiological evidence for the beneficial roles of nanopriming using bioSeNPs on rapeseed germination and seedling development under salinity stress conditions. Such studies can be used to develop simple prepackaged nano primer products, which can be used before sowing to boost seed germination and crop productivity under stress conditions.
