Abstract

Drought leads to deficit water availability and its detrimental effects seriously threaten plant growth. This study assessed the physiological, biochemical, and antioxidant adjustments in different types of photosynthetic plants between Zea mays L. (C4) and Cucumis sativus L. (C3 plant) under response to short-term drought stress. Analyses of relative water content (RWC), proline, and ascorbic acid (AsA) were performed to explore how these plants react to drought. Fifteen-day-old plants were subjected to full irrigation or gradual drought periods for 2-d, 4-d, 6-d, and 8-d following by recovery for 7-d. The results revealed that drought significantly reduces leaf RCW in both plants. Re-watered Z. mays after 8-d drought was higher than C. sativus and reestablished RCW by 23% of stressed plant although remained lower by 9% of the well-watered plant. While, proline and AsA contents in Z. mays were higher than those in C. sativus in drought treatment at 8-d (2.05 µmol/g FW) and 6-d (3174.60 AsA/100 g FW), respectively, that could demonstrate osmotic adjustment ability in this C4 species. The increased proline in both plants also indicates a good strategy for plants to recover. Rewatering gave a decrease AsA and could be expected that plants restore cellular activity after oxidative injury. Based on our study, proline is the most informative biochemical marker to differentiate plant response to drought and Z. mays adjusted defense mechanism to drought rather than C. sativus due to higher accumulation of proline, better antioxidant activity, and improved RCW after recovery.

Abstract

The intensification of land-use from natural forests to monoculture systems such as rubber and oil palm plantations alters soil structure and resource availability, thereby affecting fine root acquisition strategies. This study assessed the impact of land-use intensification on fine root morphology, water content, and acquisition strategies across different land-use types. Fine root samples were collected from four systems: natural forest, jungle rubber, rubber, and oil palm plantations (five plots per system). Fine roots were classified into absorptive (first–third order) and transportive (fourth–fifth order), and traits were analyzed using WinRHIZO Pro 2020a. The results showed a decline in absorptive root length along the intensification gradient, with oil palm significantly shorter than forest and jungle rubber. In contrast, root length per area (RLA) was higher in the forest than in rubber plantations. Absorptive root tip length was significantly greater in oil palm compared to rubber. Transportive root length also declined, with significant differences only between oil palm and jungle rubber. Fine root diameter (FRD) and root tissue density (RTD) tended to increase, while specific root length (SRL) and specific root area (SRA) tended to decrease in absorptive roots. In transportive roots, SRL was inconsistent, and SRA remained stable. Water content tended to decrease in absorptive roots but remained relatively stable in transportive roots.
