Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect VOCs from Trichoderma harzianum ST02 significantly increased adventitious root numbers and total root length of peppermint under salt stress.
- Intervention effect VOCs alleviated NaCl-induced damage to peppermint under salt stress.
- Observation 3(2H)-furanone, dihydro-2-methyl was the predominant component of the Trichoderma harzianum ST02 VOCs.
- Observation RNA-seq identified 5589 differentially expressed genes in peppermint across four groups under different treatments.
- Observation 298 differentially expressed genes were specifically linked to VOCs exposure under 100 mM NaCl stress.
- Observation Differentially expressed genes were enriched in pathways related to secondary metabolism and plant hormone signal transduction.
- Observation VOCs modulated genes encoding ion transporters SLAH2 and ABCG14 in peppermint.
- Observation VOCs modulated cell wall-modifying enzyme genes in peppermint.
- Intervention effect VOCs downregulated genes for abscisic acid and ethylene biosynthesis (NCED3, ACS and ACO) in peppermint.
- Intervention effect VOCs upregulated the auxin metabolism gene GH3.1 in peppermint.
- Intervention effect VOCs upregulated the gibberellin metabolism gene GA2ox in peppermint.
- Mechanism VOCs enhance peppermint salt tolerance by coordinately regulating hormone signalling, ion transport and cell wall remodelling.
