Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Salt stress induced 226 differentially abundant proteins.
- Intervention effect Salt stress strongly stimulated the TCA cycle, especially malate-to-oxaloacetate conversion.
- Intervention effect The NADPH/NADP+ ratio rose by about five times.
- Intervention effect Antioxidant enzyme activities rose about three to five times.
- Intervention effect Proline content rose about three to five times.
- Intervention effect Salt treatment inhibited abundance of proteins related to the CBB cycle and photorespiration.
- Intervention effect Carbon assimilation and photorespiration metabolites decreased about 40% after 200 mM NaCl for 14 days.
- Intervention effect Net photosynthesis declined around 30% after salt exposure.
- Mechanism The authors attribute ROS removal and mitigation of carbon-metabolism damage to TCA-derived reducing power supporting glutathione.
