Salt stress dramatically reduces crop yield and quality, but the molecular mechanisms underlying salt tolerance remain largely unknown. To explore the wheat transcriptional response to salt stress, we performed high-throughput transcriptome sequencing of 10-day old wheat roots under normal condition and 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after salt stress (HASS) in both a salt-tolerant cultivar and salt-sensit...

although inter-variety variability for salt tolerance has been reported in bread wheat plants, little information is available on the genetic control of ion contents and biomass yield under saline conditions. a diallel cross, including reciprocals of two salt tolerant, two moderately tolerant and two sensitive iranian and exotic bread wheat varieties, was analyzed to investigate the inheritance...

tobacco is a salt-sensitive glycophyte crop species. in this work effect of silicone (si) supplementation (1 mm as na2sio3) was studied in nicotiana rustica l. cv. basmas grown hydroponically in growth chamber under control, low (25 mm) and high (75 mm) nacl concentration for two weeks. dry matter production of leaves was depressed by salinity level as low as 25 mm and higher salt concentration...

The adverse effects of high salt on plants include Na(+) toxicity and hyperosmotic and oxidative stresses. The plasma membrane-localized Na(+)/H(+) antiporter SOS1 functions in the extrusion of toxic Na(+) from cells and is essential for plant salt tolerance. We report here that, under salt or oxidative stress, SOS1 interacts through its predicted cytoplasmic tail with RCD1, a regulator of oxid...

AbstractTwo Arabidopsis thaliana genes, psr9.2 and psr9.4 appearedto be highly similar to a phosphate-starved induced gene,psr9, isolated from Brassica nigra suspension cells.Sequence analysis classified the encoded polypeptides asmembers of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins superfamily.The sequence of psr9 proteins comprise a unique N-terminalregion e...

a breeding hexaploid salt tolerant wheat line (ms-81-14) was produced from crossing of an iranian salt tolerant wheat line (1-66-22) with inia cultivar (from cimmyt) at karaj research station in 1991-92 cropping season. the f1 plants were grown at karaj in 1992-93 cropping season, furthermore f2-f6 populations were evaluated under salinity stress conditions (ecsoil&water; = 8-12 ds/m) in isfaha...

The model Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is liable to be exposed to high-salinity environments in its natural habitats and is often used in fermentation with high concentrations of glucose or other sugars. High salinity or high concentrations of sugars can cause osmotic stress to B. subtilis [1]. The saltinduced osmotic stress can activate signalling pathways to induce expression of ...

salinity is one of major stresses which can severely limit plant production, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions. the present study was carried out to evaluate the impact of salinity stress on some physio-biochemical parameters in nitre bush plants (nitraria schoberi). thus, an experiment was carried out under natural conditions and salinity stress was induced by a combination of diffe...

salinity is one of the environmental stresses that have limited influence on the crop growth. oxidative process is a secondary stress due to salinity. oregano is enumerated as one of the most important of medicinal plant that its production and development is possible in iran. in order to study the effect of exogenous application of hydrogen peroxide on salt tolerance in oregano (origanum major...
