RESUMEN
The recretohalophyte Limonium bicolor thrives in high-salinity environments because salt glands on the above-ground parts of the plant help to expel excess salt. Here, we characterize a nucleus-localized C3HC4 (RING-HC)-type zinc finger protein of L. bicolor named RING ZINC FINGER PROTEIN 1 (LbRZF1). LbRZF1 was expressed in salt glands and in response to NaCl treatment. LbRZF1 showed no E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. The phenotypes of overexpression and knockout lines for LbRZF1 indicated that LbRZF1 positively regulated salt gland development and salt tolerance in L. bicolor. lbrzf1 mutants had fewer salt glands and secreted less salt than did the wild-type, whereas LbRZF1-overexpressing lines had opposite phenotypes, in keeping with the overall salt tolerance of these plants. A yeast two-hybrid screen revealed that LbRZF1 interacted with LbCATALASE2 (LbCAT2) and the transcription factor LbMYB113, leading to their stabilization. Silencing of LbCAT2 or LbMYB113 decreased salt gland density and salt tolerance. The heterologous expression of LbRZF1 in Arabidopsis thaliana conferred salt tolerance to this non-halophyte. We also identified the transcription factor LbMYB48 as an upstream regulator of LbRZF1 transcription. The study of LbRZF1 in the regulation network of salt gland development also provides a good foundation for transforming crops and improving their salt resistance.

Addressing the measurement of corporate sustainable development performance (SDP) in economic, social, and environmental dimensions is a pressing global challenge. This study investigates the intrinsic impact mechanisms of the top management team's transactive memory system (TMT TMS) on SDP within Chinese manufacturing firms. It extends the analysis by introducing opportunity alertness (OA) as a moderating variable and organizational resilience (OR) as a mediating variable. Notably, OA was found to have a moderating mediation effect on the TMT TMS-OR-SDP pathway. Data from 294 executives was collected through non-probability convenience sampling. Initially, exploratory factor analysis was conducted utilizing SPSS; confirmatory factor analysis was performed with the aid of AMOS. Additionally, hierarchical regression and the SPSS PROCESS macro were employed to test the hypothesized models and paths of influence. The results illuminate the positive impact of TMT TMS on SDP through the enhancement of OR, a relationship further strengthened by OA. This study adds to the theoretical understanding and offers practical insights for optimizing TMT TMS and OA to achieve corporate sustainable development.
