Article Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) pollution threatens agricultural security worldwide. This study tested the efficacy of priming chemicals to decrease Cd uptake by tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum). After initial screening from nine different chemicals (NaCl, Cd(CHCOO), Cd(NO), CdCl, KHNO, polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG-6000), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), ß-aminobutyric acid (BABA), and glutathione (GSH)), NaCl and PEG-6000 were further investigated because of their low risks to plant growth and efficiency to Cd reduction. Priming procedures (concentrations) were optimized for both chemicals and the best one (100 mM NaCl) was used to test both soil and hydroponic media. The results showed 31.3% lower Cd concentrations in shoots after priming with 100 mM NaCl. Phenotype parameters of the plants were also measured and showed no significant impacts of the priming procedures on the shoot biomass and the uptakes of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), nor the photosynthetic capacity (net photosynthesis rate (Pn) and chlorophyll concentration (SPAD)). Histological observations of the roots showed a significant increase of the stele diameter after NaCl priming and a subsequent negative correlation between shoot Cd concentration and stele diameter was found after NaCl priming at different levels. This study confirmed 100 mM NaCl as an efficient priming treatment to decrease Cd uptake and the coarsening of the root stele was identified as a potential explanation for the observed decrease of Cd in tobacco shoots.

The Mediterranean Basin, a hotspot for tomato production, is one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change, where rising temperatures and increasing soil and water salinization represent major threats to agricultural sustainability. Thus, to understand the molecular mechanisms behind plant responses to this stress combination, an RNA-Seq analysis was conducted on roots and shoots of tomato plants exposed to salt (100 mM NaCl) and/or heat (42°C, 4 h each day) stress for 21 days. The analysis identified over 8000 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under combined stress conditions, with 1716 DEGs in roots and 2665 in shoots being exclusively modulated in response to this specific stress condition.

Soil contamination with salinity and heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd) is becoming a serious global problem due to the rapid development of the social economy. Although plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria PGPR and organic agents such as salicylic acid (SA) are considered major protectants to alleviate abiotic stresses, the study of these bacteria and organic acids to ameliorate the toxic effects of salinity and Cd remains limited. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the individual and combined effects of PGPR and SA on enhancing the phytoremediation of salinity (100 mM NaCl) and Cd (50 µM CdCl₂) using rice ( L.
