Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect CD nanopriming increased seedling root length of cotton under salt stress by 205.2% relative to water priming.
- Intervention effect CD nanopriming increased seed vigor index of cotton under salt stress by 378.4%.
- Intervention effect CD-primed cotton seeds had significantly lower content of superoxide anion radicals.
- Intervention effect CD-primed cotton seeds had significantly lower malondialdehyde (MDA).
- Intervention effect CD-primed cotton seeds increased hydrogen peroxide levels by 42.3%–48.5%.
- Intervention effect Under salt stress, CD priming reduced Na+ accumulation in cotton seeds by 15.3% relative to the control.
- Intervention effect CD priming did not change K+ content of cotton seeds under salt stress.
- Intervention effect The DPI inhibitor substantially suppressed the CD-induced Na+ efflux and seed germination of cotton.
- Mechanism GhRboh-mediated H2O2 may regulate Na+ homeostasis to promote cotton seed germination under salinity.
- Mechanism CD priming-induced salt stress resistance of cotton is likely linked to oxidative stress response, MAPK signalling, ion homeostasis and Ca2+-binding proteins.
- Intervention effect CD priming significantly upregulated the relative expression of GhRboh genes, Ca2+ influx genes and SOS1/NHX7 in cotton.
