Salt Stress Tolerance in Casuarina glauca: Insights from the Branchlets Transcriptome.

ABSTRACT: Climate change and the accelerated rate of population growth are imposing a progressive degradation of natural ecosystems worldwide. In this context, the use of pioneer trees represents a powerful approach to reverse the situation. Among others, N₂-fixing actinorhizal trees constitute important elements of plant communities and have been successfully used in land reclamation at a global scale. In this study, we have analyzed the transcriptome of the photosynthetic organs of Casuarina glauca (branchlets) to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying salt stress tolerance. For that, C. glauca plants supplied either with chemical nitrogen (KNO₃⁺) or nodulated by Frankia (NOD⁺) were exposed to a gradient of salt concentrations (
