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

“…Exogenous SA also increased ascorbate and glutathione levels and reduced their reduced forms by increasing the activities of glutathione reductase, ascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase and dehydroascorbate reductase. qRT−PCR analysis revealed that the key genes regulating SA biosynthesis, carbon assimilation, the antioxidant system and the ascorbate−glutathione cycle were activated by SA under conditions of salt stress.DiscussionOur study elucidates the physiological and molecular mechanisms of exogenous SA in enhancing plant salt tolerance and provides a practical basis for crop improvement in saline environments.…”

Benchmarking Water-Limited Yield Potential and Yield Gaps of Shiraz in the Barossa and Eden Valleys by Marcos Bonada, Paul R. Petrie, Vinod Phogat, Cassandra Collins, Victor O. Sadras

“…Yield gaps increased with an increasing vine water deficit, as quantified by the carbon isotope composition of the fruit. The yield gap was smaller with higher rainfall before budburst, putatively favouring early-season vegetative growth and allocation to reproduction, and with higher rainfall between flowering and veraison, putatively favouring fruit set and berry growth. …”
