Description
Hülya Torun, Bilal Cetin, Srdjan Stojnic, and Peter Petrík test a plant hormone on a rare tree, in a study whose head dates it to 2023. The tree, Caucasian wingnut, is a relict species whose tolerance of drought and toxic metals is little known. The hormone, salicylic acid, is known to help plants face stress, and the team sprayed it on seedling leaves.
Six-month-old seedlings grew for three weeks in a greenhouse under cadmium, drought, both, or neither. Stress cut leaf growth, water content, and the leaves' light use, with drought hitting hardest. The tree's own defense enzymes rose to fight damage. Sprayed plants showed less cell damage, marked by lower leakage of a fat breakdown product. The authors say the hormone eases stress in this tree, a clue for protecting it as climates dry.
