The content of reactive oxygen species, the activity of key antioxidant enzymes ‒ ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase, the level of expression of the hypersensitive response marker gene (HSR) as well as potato virus X particles content in cv. Uladar seedlings grown on an ion-exchange substrate in the presence of a complex preparation containing chitosan, Bacillus subtilis bacteria-based preparation and salicylic acid, when infected potato virus X. Accumulation of the reactive oxygen species, increase in ascorbate peroxidase activity, a lower level of HSR gene expression and a lower content of virus X particles in potato plants under such conditions are shown. An increase in both the number of potato minitubers and dry matter content in them was also registered when plants were grown on an ion-exchange substrate in the presence of a complex preparation.

Plant annexins are proteins with multiple functions and roles in plant development and responses to abiotic stresses. We report here the functional analysis of the TdAnn12 annexin protein isolated from Triticum durum Desf. We have previously shown that TdAnn12 expression is highly induced by different abiotic stresses. In the present study, to investigate the physiological and biochemical stress-induced responses, we overexpressed TdAnn12 in tobacco. We demonstrate that transgenic tobacco plants expressing TdAnn12 exhibited enhanced tolerance to salt, osmotic stress and H2O2 at the seedling stage. Under greenhouse conditions, these plants showed tolerance to drought and salt stresses. Moreover, scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), higher chlorophyll content, lower lipid peroxidation levels and increased antioxidant activities (peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase) were observed. Finally, accumulation of TdAnn12 in tobacco positively affects the regulation of some stress-related genes (MnSOD, APX1, CAT1, P5CS, NHX1, SOS1 and DREB1A). TdAnn12 interacts directly or indirectly with stress-related genes that could stimulate an adaptive potential to gain tolerance which is not present in non-transgenic (NT) plants. Our results clearly show that overexpression of TdAnn12 in transgenic tobacco improves stress tolerance through the removal of ROS.

Abiotic stresses cause plant growth inhibition, damage, and in the most severe cases, cell death, resulting in major crop yield losses worldwide. Many abiotic stresses lead also to oxidative stress. Recent genetic and genomics studies have revealed highly complex and integrated gene networks which are responsible for stress adaptation. Here we summarize the main findings of the papers published in the Special Issue “ROS and Abiotic Stress in Plants”, providing a global picture of the link between reactive oxygen species and various abiotic stresses such as acid toxicity, drought, heat, heavy metals, osmotic stress, oxidative stress, and salinity.
