PHYSIOLOGY OF PROLONGED WATERLOGGING STRESS IN SEEDLINGS FROM WILD Carica papaya L. PLANTS COLLECTED AT YUCATAN, MEXICO
Authors: González Oviedo Nelly Abigail , Fuentes-Ortíz Gabriela , Santamaria Jorge M. 
Published: February 2025

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Papaya (<em>C. papaya </em>L.) is one of the most economically significant fruit crops in Mexico, as it is the leading global exporter. Although Yucatán is not among the country's top producing states, it holds great importance as the center of origin and distribution for this crop. This explains the current presence of wild papaya populations in unperturbed remote sites within the Yucatan State, which can serve as a genetic source for genetic improvement of current cultivated varieties, as they exhibit a higher level of tolerance to stress factors such as waterlogging caused by climate change. Therefore, it is essential to characterize the physiological response of these wild genotypes to abiotic stress factors. <strong>Objective: </strong>To characterize the physiological response to prolonged waterlogging stress of wild <em>C. papaya</em> genotypes. <strong>Methodology</strong>: A system was designed to induce waterlogging in three-months-old <em>C. papaya</em> plants. Plantlets were subjected to waterlogging (100% of roots submerged) for seven days. During the waterlogging stress, the following variables were measured every 24 hours: PSII efficiency (Fv/Fm), photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance, leaf loss, and petiole binding angle. Data collected from each parameter were analyzed using student t test analysis. <strong>Results:</strong> Seedlings from wild papaya populations exhibited a rapid response to waterlogging stress of some photosynthetic parameters, and with prolonged exposure, the plants eventually lose several leaves but papaya wild seedlings survive after 7 days of waterlogging (pw). Transpiration and stomatal conductance variables dropped after 24 hours pw and remained low throughout the experiment. Leaf loss began to be noticeable at around 72 hours pw. Additionally, leaf inclination angle exhibited variations starting from 24 hours pw, probably related to epinasty caused by ethylene accumulation. However, Fv/Fm remained high even after 7 d of being waterlogged. <strong> Implications: </strong>The results suggest that waterlogging stress has an impact on the physiology of wild papaya plants, however, this rapid response of closing stomata and maintaining photosynthesis could be a mechanism to tolerate this stress. The fact that wild papaya plants were able to maintain high values of Fv/Fm even after 7d of waterlogging, might be associated to waterlogging tolerance, as there are reports that in commercial papaya cultivars, this parameter rapidly decline during the first 24h to values much lower than those found here for wild papaya plants. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> It is necessary to perform further comparative studies between wild papaya genotypes vs commercial papaya cultivars and assess the performance of wild papaya plantlets during recovery periods once the stress is released.</p>

Published: February 2025

<p><strong>Background.</strong> Drought is the main factor that reduces crop yield, and grafting is used to confer resistance traits. <strong>Objective.</strong> The effect of water deficit on water relations, gas exchange, and proline content was determined in two avocado cultivars, ‘Colín V-33’ and ‘Hass’, grafted onto three clonal rootstocks (‘Colin V-33’ (C), ‘Fuerte’ (F), and ‘Hass’ (H)). <strong>Methodology.</strong> Two-year-old avocado plants of ‘Colín V-33’ and ‘Hass’ were grafted onto three rootstocks: ‘Colin V-33’, ‘Fuerte’, and ‘Hass’. The plants were grown in a greenhouse for 1.4 years. From that point, half of the grafted plants remained without irrigation, while the other half was watered every other day. Stomatal conductance and CO<sub>2</sub> assimilation were measured daily, and on day 13, soil and leaf samples were taken for water relations and leaf samples for proline content. <strong>Results.</strong> The cultivar ‘Colin V-33’ and its combinations showed a conductance of 132 mmol m<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>, while ‘Hass’ reached 150 mmol m<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>. Both decreased after 7 days without irrigation, with variations in their combinations. CO<sub>2</sub> assimilation followed a similar pattern. In well-watered plants, there were no differences in water potential (Y<sub>w</sub>), but in non-irrigated plants, ‘Colin V-33’ showed a greater decrease in leaf Yw, whereas in ‘Hass’, this occurred in the H/H and H/F combinations. The osmotic potential (Y<sub>p</sub>) was lower in non-irrigated plants with ‘Hass’, especially in C/H and H/H (-1.80 and -1.81 MPa respectively). Turgor potential (Y<sub>r</sub>) was unaffected. Proline concentration was higher in all combinations, particularly in H/H and H/F. <strong>Implications.</strong> Grafting is useful for identifying cultivars sensitive or resistant to water deficit. <strong>Conclusion.</strong> The combinations with ‘Colin V-33’ show the best water use efficiency and greater resistance to water deficit. The scion/rootstock interaction significantly affects gas exchange, water relations, and proline concentration under water deficit. Low proline concentrations in this species appear linked to water deficit resistance.</p>

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Metals can be found in nature, but they are also generated by anthropogenic activities associated with technological waste, such as batteries and electronic components. These metals, when released to the environment may contaminate and cause significant health damage. Phytoremediation is a process to de-contaminate water bodies from metals using plants. Obviously, those plants should be able not only to uptake high amounts of metals, but also, they should be able to tolerate those high concentrations in their tissues. <em>Salvinia minima</em> is a fast-growing, floating aquatic fern and its ability to take up metals from the environment has been evaluated. <strong>Objective</strong>: To characterize the physiological and molecular response of <em>Salvinia minima</em> plants exposed to different metals. <strong>Methodology</strong>: A system was designed to expose <em>Salvinia minima</em> plants to different metals such as Pb, Ni, Cu, Zn and Li, for seven days at different concentrations levels and take samples every 24 h. Various parameters were evaluated including metal uptake, metal concentration in the medium, leaf appearance, PSII efficiency (Fv/Fm), photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance. <strong>Results: </strong><em>S. minima</em> plants were capable to accumulate Pb (28 mg /g DW at 40 uM), Zn (10 mg/g at 80uM) Li (10 mg/g at 20mM), Cu (8 mg/g at 40 uM) and Ni (4 mg/g at 40 uM), at their roots. At short times (0-24 h) and at low concentrations (of certain metals) no significant physiological damage was observed, however, at high concentrations or longer exposure times (48-144 h), physiological damage can be observed in terms of decreased photosynthesis and PSII efficiency, transpiration and stomatal conductance. <strong>Implications</strong>: <em>Salvinia minima</em> plant are capable to take Pb, Ni, Cu, Zn and Li from the medium, which indicates that it is a good candidate to be used in the phytoremediation of water bodies contaminated with these metals. <strong>Conclusions</strong>: <em>Salvinia minima</em> plants take up and accumulate high concentrations of Pb, Ni, Cu, Zn and Li in their tissues, thus reducing the metal content of aqueous media. Even though at high concentrations those metals may affect its physiological performance, this occurs at much higher concentrations than those normally found in natural water bodies, therefore <em>S. minima</em> is certainly a good candidate to be used for the phytoremediation of water bodies contaminated with metals.</p>

Published: February 2025

<p><strong>Background:</strong> In the Yucatán Peninsula, essential information is available on the traditional use of medicinal plants, however, their biological activity is still unknow, such as <em>Hamelia patens</em> (Coralillo, X k’anan) and <em>Cecropia peltata</em> (Guarumbo, K’ooch k’aax), both species are used to treat respiratory, digestive, and skin infections. Considering the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants as exceptional sources of natural products that exhibit antioxidant properties and are capable to combating drug-resistant bacteria, we explored the potential of these two plants species to act against free radicals that cause various diseases due to cellular oxidative damage, and to control multi-resistant pathogens. <strong>Objective: </strong>To determine the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the extracts and fractions of <em>H. patens</em> and <em>C. peltata</em> leaves against drug-resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus,</em> <em>Escherichia coli</em>, and <em>Acinetobacter baumannii</em>. <strong>Methodology: </strong>Antioxidant activity was determined using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl (DPPH) assay and antibacterial activity was determined using the resazurin micromethod. <strong>Results:</strong> <em>Hamelia patens</em> and <em>C</em>. <em>peltata</em> leaves extracts exhibited DPPH radical-binding capacity, and the ethyl acetate fraction showed a high antioxidant capacity. In contrast, the extracts and fractions did not show antibacterial activity against <em>S</em>.<em> aureus</em>, <em>E</em>.<em> coli</em>, and <em>A</em>.<em> baumannii</em> at the concentration range evaluated. <strong>Implications: </strong>The collection season, methods, and concentrations used can affect bioactivity. For further studies, it is necessary to characterize the secondary metabolites and obtain a complete antioxidant profile, and even test them against other bacterial species. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The extracts and fractions of the leaves of <em>H</em>.<em> patens</em> and <em>C</em>. <em>peltata </em>showed antioxidant activity but not antibacterial properties, on the species and drug-resistant strains. Thus, the ethyl acetate fraction is a potential candidate for further investigation. The development of new drugs is essential for combating diseases, and medicinal plants provide a promising alternative, as demonstrated for both species in the Mayan Peninsula.</p>

Published: February 2025

<p><strong>Background</strong>. Entomopathogenic fungi represent a sustainable alternative to reduce populations of the asian citrus psyllid <em>Diaphorina citri</em>, which acts as the vector of the pathogen <em>Candidatus</em> <em>Liberibacter </em><em>asiaticus</em>, responsible for Huanglongbing (HLB) in citrus fruits. <strong>Objective</strong>. To identify morpho-taxonomic and molecular endophytic entomopathogenic fungi in persian lime, for use in the biological control of <em>D. citri</em> Veracruz<em>. </em><strong>Methodology</strong>. The study was carried out in a persian lime <em>Citrus latifolia</em> crop in the Martínez de la Torre district, Veracruz, sampling was directed at trees that had myconized <em>D</em>. <em>citri</em> adults, on branches with tender shoots and mature leaflets. The fungi were isolated, purified and identified morphologically and morphometrically, and corroborated by molecular biology, through DNA amplification and sequencing of the ITS intergenic region. Under greenhouse conditions, the strains were inoculated by the method of flooding conidia in the basal part of stems and root system of Persian lime plants. In each treatment, 100 nymphs of the second stage of <em>D</em>. <em>citri</em> were released to evaluate the percentage of myconization and its endophytic establishment of fungal strains. <strong>Results</strong>. The taxonomic morphology of the reproductive structures of the identified fungal species and compared with the sequences reported in the Gen Bank, gave high identity with the endophytic entomopathogenic fungi <em>Acrodontium crateriforme,</em> <em>Hirsutella citriformis,</em> <em>Isaria fumosorosea,</em> <em>Metharizium anisopliae,</em> <em>Trichoderma harzanium,</em> for the strain <em>A. crateriforme</em> is first time that it was found miconizing <em>D.citri</em> naturally. <strong>Implications</strong>. These findings indicate new areas of study related to endophytic entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents, which can influence the regulation of asian psyllid populations, to reduce the incidence of the spread of HLB in citrus growing areas. <strong>Conclusions. </strong>The strains <em>A. crateriforme</em> were identified with a mortality percentage of 90%, <em>M. anisopliae</em> with 85%, <em>H. citriformis</em> with 68%, <em>I. fumosorosea</em> 65% and <em>T. harzianum</em> with 50%, they had an endophytic entomopathogenic behavior, and it was shown that the five strains colonized persian lime trees by the method of direct flooding of conidia at the base of the stem and roots, mummifying adults of the citrus psyllid under greenhouse conditions.</p>

<p><strong>Background</strong>. Disease outbreaks are considered to be a significant drawback in aquaculture development globally which leads aquaculturists to indiscriminate use of antibiotics. <strong>Objective</strong>. To assess the status of antibiotics use, farmers’ knowledge of risks associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and disease occurrence in fish farms in Katsina state, Nigeria. <strong>Methodology</strong> Semi-structured questionnaires were administered to the active and accessible fish farms in the state, The data collected were presented and analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression. <strong>Results</strong>: Most of the respondents were male (87.5%), aged 31 to 40 years and average of 7 years in operation. The majority (78.1%) use antibiotics for curative purposes, and the dominant usage frequency was occasional (28.1%). Majority (75%) of the respondents noted that antibiotics are readily available and moderately priced (46.9%) while the method of addition to water (37.5%) was the most frequently. Fish cure™ (37%), Aquaceryl plus™ (26%) and Oxytetracycline (10%) were the most commonly used antibiotics in the state. Most of the respondents (65.6%) are aware of the risks associated with AMR for fish but many of them (56.2%) are not aware of possible risks associated with consuming fish with antibiotic residue. Disease occurrence is very high (78.1%) among the farms in the state, with the majority (59.3%) having experienced outbreaks between one and three times. Despite the small scale of fish farming in the state, the mean economic loss due to disease outbreaks stood at ₦594, 605.3±0.21 (USD 371.63). The logistic regression model revealed that years in operation is the major factor influencing the use of antibiotics (P=0.072) and the occurrence of fish diseases (P=0.055) in fish farms in the state. <strong>Implication</strong>: Antibiotics is highly used in fish farms in the state without prescription by the veterinary experts and the majority of the farmers are not aware of risk associated with consuming fish with antibiotic residue. <strong>Conclusion</strong>.The study collectively provide a foundation for informed decision-making, targeted interventions, and future research directions in the realm of sustainable and responsible aquaculture practices in Katsina state.</p>
