Drought and salinity stress alters ROS accumulation, water retention, and osmolyte content in sorghum plants
Open accessAbstract
Abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity are major environmental factors that influence crop productivity worldwide. These adverse conditions induce osmotic stresses in plant cells by decreasing water availability, thus leading to loss of cell turgor and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are detrimental to plant growth and development. To survive such harsh environmental conditions, plants must initiate intracellular and physiological signaling networks to rapidly respond and efficiently neutralize these stresses. Inefficient scavenging of ROS would lead to increased levels of cell death, thus inhibiting plant growth and reducing crop productivity. This study investigates the effect of drought and salinity stress on plant growth, water retention, oxidative damage, chlorophyll content, and proline accumulation in sorghum plants. Plant growth, biomass, and leaf chlorophyll were significantly reduced whereas the total proline content was enhanced in response to stress conditions. The significant increase in hydrogen peroxide content as a consequence of stress conditions resulted in augmented levels of lipid peroxidation, which was manifested as extensive cell death and biomass reduction. • Drought and salinity stress inhibits plant growth and reduces water retention. • Stress conditions augment ROS accumulation and osmolyte content. • Photosynthetic pigments are reduced under drought and salinity stress.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
