| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Abiotic stresses, such as salinity and boron toxicity/deficiency, are prevalent in arid and semi-arid regions where broccoli is largely cultivated. This study aimed to investigate the physiological response of broccoli leaves to these stresses, focusing on parameters such as growth, relative water content, stomatal conductance, and mineral concentration after 15 days of treatment application. The effects of individual and combined stresses of salinity and boron (deficiency and toxicity) were examined. Additionally, the study explored the molecular aspects of PIP aquaporins in relation to their presence in the plasma membrane and their interaction with the lipid environment. The results showed that the combined stress of salinity and boron deficiency resulted in a significant reduction in plant biomass, suggesting a specific adaptation to this stress combination. Changes in stomatal conductance and mineral nutrient levels indicated that the adaptation mechanisms were associated with water and boron concentration in the leaves. The expression patterns of PIP aquaporins varied among the different stress treatments, either individually or in combination. Furthermore, the presence of aquaporins in the plasma membrane and microsomal fraction highlighted the potential regulatory roles of trafficking along with the membrane composition, particularly the concentration of phytosterols. The results underscore the importance of water transport by aquaporins and their interaction with the sterol composition in the membranes, in facilitating salinity-boron stress adaptation mechanisms |
