Molecular Responses of Vegetable, Ornamental Crops, and Model Plants to Salinity Stress / S. Toscano, D. Romano, A. Ferrante. - In: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES. - ISSN 1422-0067. - 24:4(2023), pp. 3190.1-3190.15. [10.3390/ijms24043190]
Abstract:
Vegetable and ornamental plants represent a very wide group of heterogeneous plants, both
herbaceous and woody, generally without relevant salinity-tolerant mechanisms. The cultivation
conditions—almost all are irrigated crops—and characteristics of the products, which must not
present visual damage linked to salt stress, determine the necessity for a deep investigation of the
response of these crops to salinity stress. Tolerance mechanisms are linked to the capacity of a plant to
compartmentalize ions, produce compatible solutes, synthesize specific proteins and metabolites, and
induce transcriptional factors. The present review critically evaluates advantages and disadvantages
to study the molecular control of salt tolerance mechanisms in vegetable and ornamental plants, with
the aim of distinguishing tools for the rapid and effective screening of salt tolerance levels in different
plants. This information can not only help in suitable germplasm selection, which is very useful in
consideration of the high biodiversity expressed by vegetable and ornamental plants, but also drive
the further breeding activities.
