    Abstract The salinization of agriculture soils over the globe has become one of the most devastating stresses and is significantly limiting cultivated land area, and crop productivity and quality. It is very imperative to explore both salinity tolerance in plants and insights into approaches (and underlying mechanisms) for effectively controlling salinity impacts. To this end, the role of phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) and plant nutrient sulfur (S) in promoting salinity tolerance has been researched in isolated studies, and SA–S interaction results have been little discussed. Given this, taking into account recent literature on SA, S and soil salinity, this paper aimed to (i) overview of the major impacts of soil salinity on plant health; (ii) highlight the significance of SA and S in improving plant salinity tolerance; (iii) discuss the role and underlying mechanism of SA, S and their interaction in the modulation of plant growth and development under salinity stress; and also to (iv) appraise the discussed literature and enlighten the major prospects.

    Abstract The involvement of ethylene in reversal of salt (NaCl; 50 mM) stress on photosynthetic activity and growth by salicylic acid (SA; 0.5 mM) together with sulfur (S; 2.0 mM) was studied in mustard (Brassica juncea L. cv. Pusa Vijay). Application of SA plus SO₄²⁻ improved photosynthetic activity through markedly increased S-assimilation, strengthening antioxidant defense system and limiting NaCl-accrued oxidative consequences more conspicuously than their individual effect in B. juncea under 50 mM NaCl stress. Since SA acts as an inhibitor of ethylene and S-assimilation is associated with ethylene synthesis, we tried to figure out the interaction of ethylene in SA and SO₄²⁻-mediated salt tolerance. The involvement of ethylene was studied by supplementing salt-treated plants with 200 µL L⁻¹ ethephon (an ethylene-releasing compound) or 100 µM norbornadiene (NBD, ethylene action inhibitor) to SA and SO₄²⁻ treatments. Ethephon supplemented to NaCl-treated plants showed optimal ethylene formation, increasing ethylene sensitivity to enhance photosynthesis by affecting antioxidative capacity of plants. SA plus SO₄²⁻ treatment decreased stress ethylene production and optimized ethylene formation under NaCl stress that contributed in the maintenance of high photosynthetic rate, which was reversed with NBD. NaCl-treated plants receiving SA plus SO₄²⁻ and supplemented with NBD showed inhibited photosynthetic characteristics and growth, with minimal S-assimilation capacity, activity of antioxidant enzymes and GSH content. This showed that the reversal of salt stress by SA plus SO₄²⁻ was through ethylene involvement. Overall, ethylene intervened the effect of SA in the presence of SO₄²⁻ to induce S-assimilation, upregulated the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, and imparted NaCl tolerance in plants.

    Abstract Despite extensive vaccination approaches, Newcastle disease (ND) remains a permanent threat to the poultry industry worldwide. Besides vaccination, there is a burgeoning demand for new antivirals for use in interventions to control ND. One strategy is to strengthen the host innate immunity via host-derived innate immune proteins. Type I interferons define one of the first lines of innate immune defense against viral infections. Chicken interferon alpha (chIFN-α) is one of the potent cytokines that trigger antiviral responses. In the current study, we investigated the therapeutic effect of natural chIFN-α administered via oral and intramuscular (i.m.) routes against ND in broiler chickens. Our results showed that the level of protection against ND in response to chIFN-α therapy was dependent on the route and dose of IFN administration. A better therapeutic effect was observed in chickens treated with chIFN-α via the oral route than in those treated via the i.m. route. Regardless of the administration route, double-dose chIFN-α (2,000-U) treatments provided better protection than single-dose (1,000-U) treatments. However, complete protection against ND was achieved in birds treated with repeated doses of chIFN-α via the oral route. Histopathology of trachea, proventriculus, spleen, and liver showed a significant improvement in ND-induced degenerative changes in double-dose IFN-treatment groups compared to single-dose groups. Results of the hemagglutination test demonstrated a decrease in ND virus (NDV) titer in IFN-treated groups. Also, double doses of chIFN-α via oral route resulted in early recovery in weight gain. We propose that chIFN-α therapy via oral route could be an important therapeutic tool to control NDV infection in chicken.

    Abstract Chicken type I interferons (type I IFNs) are key antiviral players of the chicken immune system and mediate the first line of defense against viral pathogens infecting the avian species. Recognition of viral pathogens by specific pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) induce chicken type I IFNs expression followed by their subsequent interaction to IFN receptors and induction of a variety of IFN stimulated antiviral proteins. These antiviral effectors establish the antiviral state in neighboring cells and thus protect the host from infection. Three subtypes of chicken type I IFNs; chIFN-α, chIFN-β, and a recently discovered chIFN-κ have been identified and characterized in chicken. Chicken type I IFNs are activated by various host cell pathways and constitute a major antiviral innate defense in chicken. This review will help to understand the chicken type 1 IFNs, host cellular pathways that are involved in activation of chicken type I IFNs and IFN stimulated antiviral effectors along with the gaps in knowledge which will be important for future investigation. These findings will help us to comprehend the role of chicken type I IFNs and to develop different strategies for controlling viral infection in poultry.

    Abstract Salt stress significantly contributes to major losses in agricultural productivity worldwide. The sustainable approach for salinity-accrued toxicity has been explored. The use of plant growth regulators/phytohormones, mineral nutrients and other signaling molecules is one of the major approaches for reversing salt-induced toxicity in plants. Application of the signaling molecules such as nitric oxide (NO) and ethylene (ETH) and major mineral nutrient such as nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) play significant roles in combatting the major consequences of salt stress impacts in plants. However, the literature available on gaseous signaling molecules (NO/ETH) or/and mineral nutrients (N/S) stands alone, and major insights into the role of NO or/and ETH along with N and S in plant-tolerance to salt remained unclear. Thus, this review aimed to (a) briefly overview salt stress and highlight salt-induced toxicity, (b) appraise the literature reporting potential mechanisms underlying the role of gaseous signaling molecules and mineral nutrient in salt stress tolerance, and (c) discuss NO and ETH along with N and S in relation to salt stress tolerance. In addition, significant issues that have still to be investigated in this context have been mentioned.
