Climate change is causing soil salinization, resulting in crop losses throughout the world. The ability of plants to tolerate salt stress is determined by multiple biochemical and molecular pathways. Here we discuss physiological, biochemical, and cellular modulations in plants in response to salt stress. Knowledge of these modulations can assist in assessing salt tolerance potential and the mechanisms underlying salinity tolerance in plants. Salinity-induced cellular damage is highly correlated with generation of reactive oxygen species, ionic imbalance, osmotic damage, and reduced relative water content. Accelerated antioxidant activities and osmotic adjustment by the formation of organic and inorganic osmolytes are significant and effective salinity tolerance mechanisms for crop plants. In addition, polyamines improve salt tolerance by regulating various physiological mechanisms, including rhizogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, maintenance of cell pH, and ionic homeostasis. This research project focuses on three strategies to augment salinity tolerance capacity in agricultural crops: salinity-induced alterations in signaling pathways; signaling of phytohormones, ion channels, and biosensors; and expression of ion transporter genes in crop plants (especially in comparison to halophytes).

Petunia hybridais a popular bedding plant that has a long history as a genetic model system. We report the whole-genome sequencing and assembly of inbred derivatives of its two wild parents,P. axillarisN andP. inflataS6. The assemblies include 91.3% and 90.2% coverage of their diploid genomes (1.4 Gb; 2n = 14) containing 32,928 and 36,697 protein-coding genes, respectively. The genomes reveal that thePetunialineage has experienced at least two rounds of hexaploidization: the older gamma event, which is shared with most Eudicots, and a more recent Solanaceae event that is shared with tomato and other solanaceous species. Transcription factors involved in the shift from bee to moth pollination reside in particularly dynamic regions of the genome, which may have been key to the remarkable diversity of floral colour patterns and pollination systems. The high-quality genome sequences will enhance the value ofPetuniaas a model system for research on unique biological phenomena such as small RNAs, symbiosis, self-incompatibility and circadian rhythms.

About Me
Dr. Jiaqi Xia holds a Ph.D. in Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) from Cornell University, with extensive research experience in hydroponics, horticultural lighting, and greenhouse management. He has a proven track record of conducting influential research on plant morphogenesis, crop management systems, and the economic potential of horticultural crops. Skilled in both advanced CEA techniques and financial modeling, he is dedicated to optimizing plant growth and enhancing profitability through innovative strategies that improve the efficiency and sustainability of CEA systems.
Dr. Neil Mattson is a professor in the School of Integrative
Plant Science, having joined Cornell University in 2007. He serves as a
statewide greenhouse specialist with research and outreach programs focusing on
the physiology of both vegetable and flower crops. His work emphasizes
strategies to optimize crop production while reducing energy use through
improved lighting and greenhouse control systems, plant mineral nutrition, and
plant stress physiology. He has authored or co-authored 52 peer-reviewed
journal articles and 139 extension articles (bulletins, trade journal articles),
and given more than 205 outreach presentations to 10,000+ agriculture industry
members. Mattson is the director of Cornell’s Controlled Environment Agriculture
group.
