Physiological and molecular mechanisms of exogenous salicylic acid in enhancing salt tolerance in tobacco seedlings by regulating antioxidant defence system and gene expression by Xiliang Song, Jian Chen, Can Xu, Xianjie Cai, Wenjing Song, Aixia Chang, Yu Zhang, Chenggang Luo

“…The plant hormone salicylic acid (SA) has notable potential in mitigating salt toxicity, yet its mechanism in enhancing the salinity tolerance of tobacco plants is not well explored.MethodsThis study aimed to assess the potential benefits of exogenous SA application (1.0 mM) on tobacco seedlings subjected to saline soil conditions.ResultsThe foliar spray of SA partially mitigated these salt-induced effects, as evidenced by a reduction of malondialdehyde content, and improvements of leaf K+/Na+ ratios, pigment biosynthesis, and electron transport efficiency under NaCl stress. Additionally, SA increased the contents of total phenolic compound and soluble protein by 16.2% and 28.7% to alleviate NaCl-induced oxidative damage. …”

Sub-ppb H₂S Sensing with Screen-Printed Porous ZnO/SnO₂ Nanocomposite by Mehdi Akbari-Saatlu, Masoumeh Heidari, Claes Mattsson, Renyun Zhang, Göran Thungström

“…Utilizing a screen-printing method, we fabricated five different sensor compositions—ranging from pure SnO₂ to pure ZnO—and characterized their structural and morphological properties through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Among these, the SnO₂/ZnO sensor with a composition-weight ratio of 3:4 demonstrated the highest response at 325 °C, achieving a low detection limit of 0.14 ppb. …”
