abstract

in order to evaluate the effect of terminal water deficit stress on leaf traits and their relations to grain yield in different barley genotypes (‘yousof’, ‘fajr30’, ‘nosrat’, ‘pbyt-46’, ‘pbyt-97’ and ‘morocco’), two separated experiments were conducted in stress (water withholding from anthesis towards the end of growing season), and non stress (normal irrigation) conditions based on rcbd with three replications in 2010-2011 at yazd agricultural research station. the results indicated that drought stress significantly reduced leaf area index, greeness and increased canopy temperature and leaf rolling. also, drought stress significantly increased epicuticular wax content at 21 days after anthesis. studying by scanning electron microscope (sem) confirmed the increased dispersal of leaf wax crystals in leaf surface in ‘yousof’ and ‘pbyt-46’ genotypes. ‘fajr30’ genotype with the highest amount of cuticular transpiration and canopy temperature had the highest reduction in grain yield and ‘yousof’ and ‘pbyt-46’ genotypes with higher amount of wax crystals dispersal, lower amount of cuticular transpiration, canopy temperature and greeness reduction in stress condition, had the least reduction percentage in grain yield. according to the non significant correlation between leaf wax and grain yield in both conditions (stress and normal) and in stress condition, it seems that increased epicuticular wax crystals had a more effective role than the quantity of wax in drought tolerance of barley genotypes.

Rice OsGL1-6 Is Involved in Leaf Cuticular Wax Accumulation and Drought Resistance

Cuticular wax is a class of organic compounds that comprises the outermost layer of plant surfaces. Plant cuticular wax, the last barrier of self-defense, plays an important role in plant growth and development. The OsGL1-6 gene, a member of the fatty aldehyde decarbonylase gene family, is highly homologous to Arabidopsis CER1, which is involved in cuticular wax biosynthesis. However, whether O...

Evaluation of Leaf Proteome in Wheat Genotypes Under Drought Stress

Drought stress in plants, the change (increase or decrease) in the production of plant proteins. Proteomics in recent years one of the most powerful tools that help us to study the changes in protein In order to investigate the proteome of wheat leaves in response to terminal drought, two genotypes susceptible and resistant wheat genotypes were evaluated under irrigated (non-stress) and rain-fe...

RNA-Seq Reveals Leaf Cuticular Wax-Related Genes in Welsh Onion

The waxy cuticle plays a very important role in plant resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses and is an important characteristic of Welsh onions. Two different types of biangan Welsh onions (BG) were selected for this study: BG, a wild-type covered by wax, which forms a continuous lipid membrane on its epidermal cells, and GLBG, a glossy mutant of BG whose epidermal cells are not cove...

Molecular and Biochemical Characterization of Cotton Epicuticular Wax in Defense against Cotton Leaf Curl Disease

Background: Gossypium arboreum is resistant to Cotton leaf curl Burewala virus and its cognate Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuBuV and CLCuMB). However, the G. arboreum wax deficient mutant (GaWM3) is susceptible to CLCuV. Therefore, epicuticular wax was characterized both quantitatively and qualitatively for its role as physical barrier against whitefly mediated viral transmission a...
