Salt Stress Genotypic Response: Wheat Cultivars Relative Tolerance of Certain to Salinity

THE RESPONSE OF FOLIAR PROTEINS IN TWO WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM) CULTIVARS TO SALT STRESS

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...

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...

Salinity Stress and Salt Tolerance

Salinity is one of the most serious factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops, with adverse effects on germination, plant vigour and crop yield (R Munns & Tester, 2008). Salinization affects many irrigated areas mainly due to the use of brackish water. Worldwide, more than 45 million hectares of irrigated land have been damaged by salt, and 1.5 million hectares are taken out of pr...

تنوع ژنتیکی صفات رشدی ریشه و اندام هوایی گیاهچه های گندم و ارتباط آن با تحمل شوری

To improve crop yields and increase of production performance in marginal areas, the use of genetic potential of crops in terms of morphological and physiological characteristics can lead to yield improvement and increase of production performance in areas with saline water and soil salinity. In order to evaluate genotypic variation in growth and physiological traits of different bread wheat cu...
