Abstract Salinization leads to several worldwide damages in agricultural regions, mainly in semiarid regions where leaching of salt is poor due to limited and erratic rainfall. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a Malvaceae with wide genetic variability to salt stress. The identification of salinity tolerant genotypes is a dynamic target in a breeding program, and the selection is often based on plant phenotypes. Molecular markers are reliable tools to aid in these selection procedures. Aquaporin (AQPs) are channel proteins that play fundamental role in water relations and tolerance to environmental stresses. Plants have fine regulation of water transport through AQPs activities. In order to evaluate the AQP expressions of different cotton cultivars submitted to salt stress, we use molecular and physiological tools, based on RT-qPCR and gas exchange assays. Seven cultivars were submitted to 95 mM NaCl, started at V3 stage (21 days after emergence), during 72 h. At the end of stress treatment, root tissues were used to total RNA extraction, followed by cDNA synthesis and RT-qPCR analyzes. Three sets of specific primers were used, drawn from AQP accessions deposited in NCBI. Additionally, full expanded leaves were used to gas exchange assays and to estimate the relative water content. The dry matter of the shoots was also evaluated. Based on pattern of AQPs transcripts, we found that all semiarid tolerant cultivars (BRS Seridó, 7MH, CNPA MT 2009 152 and BRS 416) showed downregulation of AQP subtypes, mainly GhPIP1;1 and GhTIP2;1 whose action is characterized as tolerant to salinity. The results of gas exchanges, relative water content and dry matter were consistent with the molecular findings in these cultivars, confirming that GhPIP1;1 and GhTIP2;1, located at plasma membrane and vacuoles, respectively, could be adopted as AQP markers for identification of cotton tolerant to salt stress.

Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) is considered one of the most important grains in the world. Straw return and potassium fertilization can enhance the maize yield. Therefore, three field experiments were carried out in the three years (2018–2020) to study the effects of straw return at two methods and four levels of potassium fertilization on photosynthesis, dry matter accumulation and yield of the maize ‘Xianyu 335’. To conduct the field trials, a split plot system in five replications was established. Two straw return methods (straw return with deep tillage and straw mulching with no tillage) were in the main plots, and four potassium fertilization levels (0, 30, 45 and 60 kg/ha) were in the subplots. Each sub-plot consisted of 10 rows with 5 m length and 0.6 m width, and each sub-plot area was 30 m2 in the three years. The results indicated that the straw return methods and the potassium supply significantly affected the maize photosynthesis, dry matter accumulation and yield in the three years. Under the same potassium supply, straw return with deep tillage significantly improved the maize photosynthesis, dry matter accumulation and yield compared to straw mulching with no tillage. The above characteristics improved with increased potassium supply. The treatment of SFK60 recorded the highest values for the parameters of maize photosynthesis, dry matter accumulation and yield during the three harvest seasons. The treatment of SFK45 reached maximum profit of maize planting, which was 12088.77 yuan/ha. Therefore, SFK45 was an effective way to ensure the stable and higher yields of maize and to maximize the income of farmers.

O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, utilizando-se vasos plásticos contendo 8,5 kg de terra, na qual foi aplicado NaCl  em quantidades suficientes para elevar o  nível  de condutividade elétrica  de  0 para próximos de 8, 16 e 24 dS . m-1 a 25° C. Todos os vasos receberam aplicações de 150 mg P. kg-1 solo, solução nutritiva contendo 30 mg N e 40 mg K . kg-1 solo e, semanalmente, solução diluída de micronutrientes.O solo foi avaliado pela Relação de Adsorção de Sódio (RAS) e Relação de Sódio Trocável (RST), através de amostras coletadas dos vasos, ao final do experimento.Pelos dos resultados constatou-se que a elevação na concentração de sódio na solução no solo, além de reduzir o potencial osmótico da solução do solo, reduziu a absorção de potássio, cálcio e magnésio e a produção de matéria seca por todos os cultivares de algodão. UNITERMOS: algodão, salinidade, sódio.  QUEIROZ, S.O.P., BÜLL, L.T.
