In this experiment soybean seeds were pre-treated with salt tolerant isolate of Trichoderma harzianum to evaluate the different aspects of seedling growth and metabolism in response to different concentrations of NaCl. Trichoderma isolate was more effective in improving dry weight and root volume of seedlings during mild salt stress. Seedlings obtained from bioprimed seeds had significantly hig...

HIGHLIGHTS Metabolites and transcripts related to plant physiology in salt stress conditions, especially to the recovery process were disclosed in peanut. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is considered as a moderately salt-sensitive species and thus soil salinity can be a limiting factor for peanut cultivation. To gain insights into peanut plant physiology in response to salt stress and alleviation...

in order to evaluate the effect of piriformospora indica fungi inoculation on antioxidant systems and photosynthetic pigments of stevia under salt stress, an experiment was conducted in a factorial based completely randomized design with four replications under in vitro culture conditions. factors include salinity at six levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mm of nacl) and inoculation of mycorr...

as sesame is a somewhat neglected crop, information concerning its response to salinity is lacking. the effects of nacl stress were studied on seven genotypes of sesamum indicum l. the 6-weeks-old sesame seedlings were treated with different nacl concentrations (0, 30, and 60 mm). the nacl caused significant decreases in fresh and dry mass of all genotypes; however responses of genotypes to the...

trr14 is a novel protein important in trehalose (α-d-glucosyl-[1,1]-α-d-glucopyranoside) signaling in arabidopsis. in this research, we provided evidences to demonstrate that trr14 plays role in arabidopsis responses to salt and drought stress. the transgenic arabidopsis plants over-expressing trr14 under the control of camv 35s promoter were generated. transformed lines showed higher transcrip...

Most plants encounter stress such as drought and salinity that adversely affect growth, development and crop productivity. The expression of the gene glutathione-s-transferases (GST) extends throughout various protective mechanisms in plants and allows them to adapt to unfavorable environmental conditions. GSTF1 (the first phi GSTFs class) gene expression patterns in the wheat cultivars Mahuti ...

Little is known about the effects of NaCl stress on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) photosynthesis and carbohydrate flux. The objective of this study was to understand the carbohydrate metabolism and identify the gene expression affected by salinity stress. Seventy-four days old seedlings of two perennial ryegrass accessions (salt-sensitive 'PI 538976' and salt-tolerant 'Overdrive') were...

salinity is a major limiting factor for plant growth and development. to evaluate the impact of p5cs gene expression under in vitro salt stress condition, transgenic tobacco (nicotiana plumbaginifolia) carrying p5cs gene and non-transgenic plants were treated with 0, 100, 150, 200 or 250 mm nacl for 28 days. proline content, lipid peroxidation and the activity of some antioxidant enzymes after ...
