Will <i>Casuarina glauca</i> Stress Resilience Be Maintained in the Face of Climate Change?

Actinorhizal plants have been regarded as promising species in the current climate change context due to their high tolerance to a multitude of abiotic stresses. While combined salt-heat stress effects have been studied in crop species, their impact on the model actinorhizal plant, <i>Casuarin...

description Actinorhizal plants have been regarded as promising species in the current climate change context due to their high tolerance to a multitude of abiotic stresses. While combined salt-heat stress effects have been studied in crop species, their impact on the model actinorhizal plant, <i>Casuarina glauca</i>, has not yet been fully addressed. The effect of single salt (400 mM NaCl) and heat (control at 26/22 °C, supra optimal temperatures at 35/22 °C and 45/22 °C day/night) conditions on <i>C. glauca</i> branchlets was characterised at the physiological level, and stress-induced metabolite changes were characterised by mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. <i>C. glauca</i> could withstand single salt and heat conditions. However, the harshest stress condition (400 mM NaCl, 45 °C) revealed photosynthetic impairments due to mesophyll and membrane permeability limitations as well as major stress-specific differential responses in C and N metabolism. The increased activity of enzymatic ROS scavengers was, however, revealed to be sufficient to control the plant oxidative status. Although <i>C. glauca</i> could tolerate single salt and heat stresses, their negative interaction enhanced the effects of salt stress. Results demonstrated that <i>C. glauca</i> responses to combined salt-heat stress could be explained as a sum of the responses from each single applied stress.
