Abstract
Drought stress adversely affects growth, development, productivity, and fiber quality of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L). Breeding strategies to enhance drought tolerance require an improved knowledge of plant drought responses necessitating proper identification of drought-tolerant genotypes of crops, including cotton. The objective of this study was to classify the selected cotton genotypes for their drought tolerance ability based on morpho-physio-biochemical traits using Hierarchical Ward's cluster analysis. Five genotypes of cotton (Takfa 3, Takfa 6, Takfa 7, Takfa 84-4, and Takfa 86-5) were selected as plant materials, and were grown under well-watered (WW; 98 ± 2% field capacity) and water-deficit (WD; 50 ± 2% field capacity) conditions for 16 days during the flower initiation stage. Data on morpho-physio-biochemical parameters and gene expression levels for these parameters were collected, and subsequently genotypes were classified either as a drought tolerant or drought susceptible one. Upregulation of GhPRP (proline-rich protein), GhP5CS (Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase), and GhP5CR (Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase) in relation to free proline enrichment was observed in Takfa 3 genotype under WD condition. An accumulation of free proline, total soluble sugar, and potassium in plants under WD conditions was detected, which played a key role as major osmolytes controlling cellular osmotic potential. Magnesium and calcium concentrations were also enriched in leaves under WD conditions, functioning as essential elements and regulating photosynthetic abilities. Leaf greenness, net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate were also declined under WD conditions, leading to growth retardation, especially aboveground traits of Takfa 6, Takfa 7, Takfa 84-4, and Takfa 86-5 genotypes. An increase in leaf temperature (1.1 - 4.0 °C) and crop water stress index (CWSI > 0.75) in relation to stomatal closure and reduced transpiration rate was recorded in cotton genotypes under WD conditions compared with WW conditions. Based on the increase of free proline, soluble sugar, leaf temperature, and CWSI, as well as the decrease of aboveground growth traits and physiological attributes, five genotypes were categorized into two cluster groups: drought tolerant (Takfa 3) and drought susceptible (Takfa 6, Takfa 7, Takfa 84-4, and Takfa 86-5). The identified drought-tolerant cotton genotype, namely, Takfa 3, may be grown in areas experiencing drought conditions. It is recommended to further validate the yield traits of Takfa 3 under rainfed field conditions in drought-prone environments.

Abstract
As a result of its high production, bisphenol A (BPA) has become ubiquitous in aquatic and terrestrial habitats. In this study, we investigated the toxicity of BPA at 10 mg L-1 on Lemna minor after 7 days of exposure under controlled conditions according to ISO 20079. BPA statistically reduced the total frond number and frond area, while frond number per colony was significantly elevated in BPA-treated group. However, no change was recorded in root number, while root length was significantly reduced by BPA. BPA also decreased the content of Chl a, Chl b, Chl a + b, and carotenoid by 36%, 44%, 38%, and 32%, respectively, versus the control leading to a decrease in the quantum yield of photosystem II. In addition, non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) values were 2.4- and 4.5-fold higher in light than in dark conditions for control and BPA-treated plants, respectively. Thus, there is a significant activation (61.8%; p<0.01) of PSII photoprotection mechanism (NPQ) in BPA-treated plants compared to control but without removing the negative effect of BPA on PSII. The total amount of soluble sugars was reduced by 40% compared to control, and starch accumulation was mainly observed in fronds exposed to BPA. Even if the response patterns of Lemna minor based on fresh and dry weight measurements were less sensitive in our experiment conditions, further studies should be addressed since BPA represents a threat to the dynamic equilibrium governing aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Sugarcane is a sugar-producing crop widely grown in tropical regions in over 120 countries of the world. Salt-affected soil is one of the most significant abiotic constraints that inhibit growth and crop productivity, and, consequently, reduce sucrose concentration in the stalk. The present study investigated vacuolar ion homeostasis, Na+ accumulation, and physiological and morphological adaptations under salt stress in two different sugarcane genotypes (salt-tolerant K88-92 and salt-sensitive K92-80) under greenhouse conditions. Na+ was rapidly absorbed by the root tissues of both sugarcane genotypes within 3-7 days of 150 mM NaCl treatment, as confirmed by the results of CoroNa Green fluorescence staining. In addition, the rate of Na+ translocation from roots to shoots was evidently reduced, leading to lower amount of Na+ in the leaf tissues. At the cellular level, expression of ShNHX1 (vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter), ShV-PPase (vacuolar H+-pyrophosphatase), and ShV-ATPase (vacuolar H+-ATPase) was upregulated in salt-stressed plants for the compartmentation of Na+ into the vacuoles of root cells. Interestingly, sucrose, glucose, and fructose in root tissues of salt-stressed sugarcane cv. K88-92 were increased by 10.61, 5.58, and 1.81 folds, respectively, over the control. Total soluble sugars in the roots and free proline in the leaves of sugarcane cv. K88-92 (salt-tolerant) were enriched by 3.08 and 1.99 folds, respectively, when plants were exposed to 150 mM NaCl, leading to maintain better photosynthetic abilities, net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (E), and water use efficiency (WUE) in sugarcane cv. K88-92 than those in cv. K92-80. The study concludes that Na+ compartmentation in the root tissue acts as a major defense mechanism in sugarcane, especially in salt-tolerant genotype.

Abstract
Drought tolerance in higher plants can result in enhanced productivity, especially in case of carbohydrate storage root crop. Sweet potato has been reported as a drought-tolerant crop, while it is very sensitive to water shortage in the root initiation of cutting propagation and tuber initiation stages. In the present study, we aimed to alleviate the drought-tolerant abilities in sweet potato cv. Tainung 57 (drought-sensitive cultivar) using foliar glycine betaine (GlyBet) application as compared with drought-tolerant cultivar (cv. Japanese Yellow). Leaf osmotic potential in GlyBet applied plants under mild- (25.5% soil water content; SWC) and severe-water deficit (15.5% SWC) stresses was maintained through the accumulation of total soluble sugars as a major osmotic adjustment, thus stabilizing the photosynthetic pigments, chlorophyll fluorescence, net photosynthetic rate, and retaining the overall growth performances, i.e., shoot height, number, and length of leaves. In the harvesting process, storage root weight in water deficit stressed sweet potato cv. Tainung 57 (11.75 g plant-1) with 50 mM GlyBet application was retained in a similar pattern to cv. Japanese Yellow (12.25 g plant-1). In the present investigation, exogenous foliar GlyBet application strongly alleviated water deficit stress via sugar enrichment to control cellular osmotic potential, retain high photosynthetic abilities and maintain the yield of storage root yield. In summary, the regulation on total soluble sugar enrichment in water deficit-stressed sweet potato using GlyBet foliar application may play an important role in maintaining the controlled osmotic potential of leaves, thereby retaining the photosynthetic abilities, overall growth characters and increasing the yield of storage roots.
