The chloroplast-localized proteins play roles in plant salt stress response, but their mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we screened a yellow leaf mutant, yl1-1, whose shoots exhibited hypersensitivity to salt stress. We mapped YL1 to AT3G57180, which encodes a YqeH-type GTPase. YL1, as a chloroplast stroma-localized protein, could be markedly reduced by high salinity. Upon expo...

Both symbiosis between legumes and rhizobia and nitrogen fixation in functional nodules are dramatically affected by salt stress. Better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulate the salt tolerance of functional nodules is essential for genetic improvement of nitrogen fixation efficiency. microRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in stress responses in many plants and in symbiotic n...

to study the effect of salinity on physiological and morphological traits of chickpea in 2010 at faculty of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran with seven chickpea genotypes. two experiments design was rcbd with 3 replications and 5 levels of salinity stress (ctrl, 200, 150, 100, 50 mm) for laboratory experiment on germination indices and greenhouse experiment on physiologic...

this research was carried on in order to investigate the response of wheat cultivars to salinity tension as factorial experiment and in complete randomized block design in four replications in islamic azad university shoushtar branch. in this experiment the response of nine wheat cultivars including chamran, karchia66, mahoti, roshan, alvand, kavir, ghods, atrak and tjan at vegetative growth st...
