When cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is increased under salt stress, cells would activate Ca2+-regulated target enzymes or induce Ca2+ bind to Ca2+ high-affinity receptor proteins. Among them, plant Ca2+-ATPases are P-type ATPases, including endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase(ECAs) and plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase(ACAs); they are able to translocate Ca2+ from the cytosol to apoplast or compartmentalize Ca2+ in organelles. Numerous studies have shown that salt tolerance of plants is largely related to their ability to maintain the activities of calcium pump, namely Ca2+-ATPases. The activities of Ca2+-ATPases in various plant species were sensitive to salt stress; exogenous Ca2+ application can alleviate cell injury by salt stress, suggesting that exogenous calcium -mediated Ca2+-ATPase might play an important role in intracellular calcium homeostasis and signal transduction. Therefore, this review summarized the types, structures and properties of plant Ca2+-ATPase, and the involvement of Ca2+-ATPase of subcellular localization in plant response to salt tolerance and the research progress of exogenous calcium and Ca2+-ATPase in regulation on plant salt tolerance. It emphasized potential roles of Ca2+-ATPases of plant plasma membrane, tonoplast, nuclear membrane, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi in regulation of salt tolerance in plants, and presented an outlook in the field. This work provided help for a better understanding of physiological and molecular mechanisms of plant salt tolerance and provided new ideas for crop salt-tolerance cultivation.

Jianan GUO, Yipeng ZHAO, Yuanzhi YANG, Qingjie GUAN
Bulletin of Botanical Research    2024, 44 (4): 481-490.   DOI: 10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2024.04.001

Superoxide dismutase(SOD) widely presents in plants and can be mainly classified into three categories: Mn-SOD, Fe-SOD and Cu/Zn-SOD. They play different defense roles in cells and enhance plant tolerance. Additionally, Ni-SOD in blue cells and marine organisms remains to be explored. In this paper, the physicochemical properties and mechanisms of action of SOD were analyzed according to the different metal ions contained in SOD, and the role of SOD in plants under stress conditions such as drought, salinity and cold were elucidated, and the role of SOD in plant growth and development in future was prospected, and a reference for studying the mechanisms of plant growth and development under adverse environments was provided.

Bingbing GUO, Mingyang LIU, Longjun DAI, Hong YANG, Lifeng WANG
Bulletin of Botanical Research    2024, 44 (2): 161-167.   DOI: 10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2024.02.001

Rubber tree(Hevea brasiliensis) is one of the important tropical cash crops, and natural rubber(NR), a secondary metabolite, is an important industrial raw material and strategic material in China. Phytohormones play important roles in regulating plant growth, development, germination, and environmental responses. Here, the research progress on application of four phytohormones, Ethylene, Abscisic acid, Brassinolides, and Gibberellin in the growth and development of rubber trees, NR biosynthesis, rubber yield, latex flow, and quality formation, was summarized in detail, and the application prospect of four phytohormones in mechanism research of improving rubber production and latex flow was looked forward to provide theoretical support for the rubber industry development.

Recent Advances on Plant Root Thermomorphogenesis
Wei LIU, Ziqiang ZHU
Bulletin of Botanical Research    2024, 44 (1): 1-7.   DOI: 10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2024.01.001

Plant development is highly plastic. As ambient temperature increased, plant stems and petioles elongated, and promoted leaf surface cooling, the process known as thermomorphogenesis. High temperatures also triggered root elongation, which named as root thermomorphogenesis. There were many studies on the regulation of plant shoot thermomorphogenesis, but few investigations on the regulatory mechanisms of plant root thermomorphogenesis. In this review, we summarized the recent progresses in the field of plant root thermomorphogenesis, and proposed future research directions.

Bulletin of Botanical Research    2023, 43 (4): 481-492.   DOI: 10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2023.04.001

Rare and endangered plants are important plant resources in nature, and play a key role in the study of plant phylogeny, ecosystem restoration, plant stress resistance physiology, and the excavation of stress-resistance genes. However, the lack of genetic information has severely restricted the conservation and utilization in most endangered plant. Due to the large genomes, complex genetic information, and unclear genetic backgrounds of endangered plants, it is relatively difficult to sequence the genomes of endangered plants. In recent years, RNA-Sequencing could directly sequence non-reference genomic species, what makes it to be widely used in the study of endangeredplants. In addition, this paper presented the prospect of the application of RNA-Sequencing technology in the study of endangered plants and suggested the new ideas of transcriptome using in the endangered plants in future.
