The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of exogenous pretreatment with 10 mM l-glutamic acid (l-Glu) on the physiological and biochemical parameters of lentil (Lensculinaris Medik.) under 110 mM NaCl stress. Salt stress inhibited the growth and reduced the photosynthetic pigment (chlorophylls and carotenoids) level, water content, and survival of lentil seedlings during recovery from the stress. Salt stress also induced oxidative damage, as indicated by higher hydrogen peroxide and malonaldehyde contents and electrolyte leakage, by interrupting the antioxidant defense system and promoting the accumulation of toxic levels of Na+.

Salt stress inhibited the growth and reduced the photosynthetic pigment (chlorophylls and carotenoids) level, water content, and survival of lentil seedlings during recovery from the stress.

Introduction</h2><div class='html-p'>Among the abiotic stresses experienced by crop plants, salinity is a major abiotic stress that affects about 20% of the world’s total cultivable land, estimated at around 800 million hectares. Current estimates indicate that approximately half of the present-day cultivable land will be unsuitable for cultivation by the middle of the 21st century due to salinity, posing a serious threat to global crop production [<a href="#B1-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">1</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>Exposure of plants to a soluble salt in excess of the threshold level (4 dS m<sup>−1</sup> or higher) causes osmotic stress and reduces plant growth [<a href="#B2-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">2</a>]. Ionic stress follows, with the increasing accumulation of toxic ions, mainly Na<sup>+</sup> and Cl<sup>−</sup>, and this leads to necrosis and death of the leaves from older to younger [<a href="#B1-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">1</a>]. Both osmotic stress and ionic toxicity inhibit photosynthesis, disrupt ion homeostasis, inactivate vital enzymes, and increase the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as singlet oxygen (<sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub>), superoxide radical (O<sub>2</sub>·<sup>−</sup>), hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>), and hydroxyl radical (OH·) [<a href="#B3-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">3</a>,<a href="#B4-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">4</a>]. ROS reduce photosynthetic ability, denature proteins, and promote the peroxidation of lipids, with subsequent death of the plants [<a href="#B1-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">1</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>Under optimal growth conditions, a minimal level of ROS is generated in different plant organelles [<a href="#B5-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">5</a>,<a href="#B6-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">6</a>]. However, the generation of ROS increases in response to stress and causes oxidative bursts in the organelles of plants [<a href="#B7-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">7</a>]. Plants cope with the damage caused by salt stress by activating antioxidant defense mechanisms that involve both non-enzymatic components (ascorbic acid (AsA), reduced glutathione (GSH), and oxidized glutathione (GSSG)) and enzymatic components (catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and glutathione <span class='html-italic'>S</span>-transferase (GST)) working in concert [<a href="#B7-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">7</a>,<a href="#B8-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">8</a>,<a href="#B9-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">9</a>,<a href="#B10-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">10</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>Evidence suggests that the accumulation of osmolytes (such as proline (Pro), glycine-betaine, and sugar alcohols), inhibition of Na<sup>+</sup> uptake, transport of Na<sup>+</sup> from the root to the shoot, restriction of K<sup>+</sup> leakage, and detoxification of ROS by the antioxidant defense system work synergistically to mitigate salt-induced damage in plants [<a href="#B1-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">1</a>,<a href="#B11-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">11</a>,<a href="#B12-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">12</a>].

These disturbances in vital processes in plants under salt stress result in crop yield decreases and pose a serious threat to global food security. Thus, mitigating salt-induced damage in plants is an important research objective. Scientists have already started to use different strategies, including the use of exogenous chemicals, to mitigate salt-induced damage in different plants [<a href="#B47-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">47</a>,<a href="#B48-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">48</a>], but the search continues for low-cost chemicals that are both effective and ecofriendly. The results presented here indicate that <span class='html-small-caps'>l</span>-Glu could play an important role as a low-cost chemical capable of alleviating the adverse effects of salt stress in lentil seedlings. <span class='html-small-caps'>l</span>-Glu, as a protein amino acid, plays an important role in the growth and development of plants and in adaptation to stress [<a href="#B27-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">27</a>,<a href="#B28-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">28</a>]. However, the benefits of the exogenous application of <span class='html-small-caps'>l</span>-Glu in enhancing salt stress tolerance have not been adequately explored.</div><div class='html-p'>In our investigation, we first determined whether <span class='html-small-caps'>l</span>-Glu application could enhance the survival of lentil seedlings after 7 days of recovery from salt stress (<a href="#biomolecules-11-00587-f001" class="html-fig">Figure 1</a>b,c). Most of the seedlings withered and failed to survive during recovery from salt stress. However, the <span class='html-small-caps'>l</span>-Glu pretreatment enhanced the survival rate by 97% (<a href="#biomolecules-11-00587-f001" class="html-fig">Figure 1</a>c), indicating that <span class='html-small-caps'>l</span>-Glu is able to aid in overcoming the detrimental effects of salt stress.

One clear response to salt stress was an arrest of plant growth, as indicated by declines in biomass production (shoot fresh weight and dry weight) (<a href="#biomolecules-11-00587-t001" class="html-table">Table 1</a>); these effects have been attributed to osmotic shock [<a href="#B1-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">1</a>]. Our findings agreed with a previous report by Hossain et al.

Sadak et al.

In the present study, we observed lower CAT and APX activities and AsA contents in stressed lentil plants (<a href="#biomolecules-11-00587-f004" class="html-fig">Figure 4</a>a,e,f). This may explain the higher H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> accumulation observed under salt stress, as CAT and APX activities convert H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> to water. Tepe and Aydemir [<a href="#B73-biomolecules-11-00587" class="html-bibr">73</a>] also reported a downregulation of CAT and APX in lentils under salt stress, in line with our findings.

We observed different responses of the components of the antioxidant defense pathway in lentil seedlings under salt-stress conditions, suggesting a disturbance in the maintenance of ROS homeostasis.
