Arundo donax L. growth potential under different abiotic stress

Arundo donax L. (giant reed) is a fast-growing, vegetatively multiplying, and rhizomatous perennial grass. It is considered a leading crop for biomass production on marginal and degraded lands under different adverse conditions such as drought, salinity, waterlogging, high and low temperatures, and...

Description
Summary:Arundo donax L. (giant reed) is a fast-growing, vegetatively multiplying, and rhizomatous perennial grass. It is considered a leading crop for biomass production on marginal and degraded lands under different adverse conditions such as drought, salinity, waterlogging, high and low temperatures, and heavy metal stress. The giant reed tolerance to those stresses is reviewed based on its effects on photosynthetic capacity and biomass production. Possible explanations for the giant reed tolerance against each particular stress were elucidated, as well as changes shown by the plant at a biochemical, physiological and morphological level, that may directly affect its biomass production. The use of giant reed in other areas of interest such as bioconstruction, phytoremediation, and bioremediation, is also reviewed. Arundo donax can be key for circular economy and global warming mitigation. •Arundo donax is a plant species tolerant to diverse types of stress.•Several tolerance mechanisms help maintain Arundo donax production.•The Arundo donax uses encompass other areas, such as bioremediation.•Arundo donax can be essential for circular economy and global warming mitigation.
