Abstract:

Effect of various NaCl treatments (0, 50, 100, 200, and 300 mM) at different growth and development stages (tillering, boot swellen, flowering and anthesis) in two wheat cultivars (Ghods: salt – sensitive, Boolani: salt – resistant) on SDS-PAGE electrophoretic pattern of leaf proteins was studied under greenhouse conditions. Generally, in response to salinity treatments, the decrease in protein synthesis in Ghods was more than that of Boolani  and the increase of protein bands in Boolani  was more than that of Ghods. Therefore, it seemed that Boolani had more ability in maintaining its leaf proteins in response to salt. Thus, from biochemical point of view, Boolani was introduced as a cultivar with more resistance to salinity stress.

Vernalisation Response of Some Winter Wheat Cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.)

For 17 cultivars of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) different vernalisation and photoperiod responses were detected. The effect of photoperiod sensitivity was not significantly changed by vernalisation; different vernalisation responses were probably due to the presence of multiple alleles at Vrn loci. The delay in heading depended on the vernalisation deficit exponentially: y = parameter (...

Chemical Composition, Yield and Yield Components of Two Wheat Cultivars in Response to Salt Stress

  Abstract In most southern provinces of Iran, soil salinity is a growing problem, particularly in irrigated agricultural areas, and has been found to reduce wheat yield, dramatically. To investigate the effect of sodium chloride on two wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, four levels of salinity: 0, 4, 8 and 12 dS/m, were employed as a factorial experiment arranged in a randomized complet...

THE EFFECT OF SALINITY STRESS ON PROLINE METABOLISM IN TWO WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM) CULTIVARS

The effect of various NaCl treatments (0, 50, 100, 200 and 300 mM) at different growth and development stages (tillering, boot swelling, flowering and polination) of two wheat cultivars (Ghods : salt-sensitive; Boolani : salt-resistant) on proline concentration and the kinetic activity of proline dehydrogenase was studied under greenhouse conditions. Generally, in response to salinity treatment...

Arsenate (As) uptake by and distribution in two cultivars of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Two cultivars of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Jing 411 and Lovrin 10) were used to investigate arsenate (As) uptake and distribution in plants grown in hydroponic culture and in the soil. Results showed that without As addition, Lovrin 10 had higher biomass than Jing 411 in the soil pot experiment; in the hydroponic experiment Lovrin 10 had similar root biomass to and lower shoot biomas...

Alleviation of salt stress by halotolerant and halophilic plant growth-promoting bacteria in wheat (Triticum aestivum)

In the current study, 18 halotolerant and halophilic bacteria have been investigated for their plant growth promoting abilities in vitro and in a hydroponic culture. The bacterial strains have been investigated for ammonia, indole-3-acetic acid and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate-deaminase production, phosphate solubilisation and nitrogen fixation activities. Of the tested bacteria, eight wer...

Distribution of gluten proteins in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) grain.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Gluten proteins are the major storage protein fraction in the mature wheat grain. They are restricted to the starchy endosperm, which forms white flour on milling, and interact during grain development to form large polymers which form a continuous proteinaceous network when flour is mixed with water to give dough. This network confers viscosity and elasticity to the dough, ...
