Variation in the Rate of Recurring Plastid Mutations in Hordeum Vulgare Caused by Differences in the Sowing Times.

Induced salinity tolerance and altered ion storage factor in Hordeum vulgare plants upon salicylic-acid priming

AbstractThis study was undertaken to better understand the probable mechanisms of salt stress tolerance induced by seed priming of salicylic acid (SA) in barley. The barley seeds were pre-soaked by SA or water and then sown under different saline watering regimes including 0.62 (tapwater), 5, 10 and 15 dS m-1 in petri dishes and trend of water absorbing, seedling growth, germination rate and pe...

Post-anthesis changes in internodes dry matter, stem mobilization, and their relation to the grain yield of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Mohsen Abouzar1, Maryam Shahbazi2*, Sepideh Torabi1, Hamid Reza Nikkhah3 and Soheil Nadafi2

Making an increase in the yield of agricultural plants including barely is considered as the main challenge for researchers in agriculture related sciences. Water-soluble carbohydrates transport and source–sink relations have a significant effect on the grain yield. This study was carried out in order to examine genotypic variation of storage and remobilization ability of carbohydrates in eight...

Analysis of plastid DNA-like sequences within the nuclear genomes of higher plants.

A wide-ranging examination of plastid (pt)DNA sequence homologies within higher plant nuclear genomes (promiscuous DNA) was undertaken. Digestion with methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes and Southern analysis was used to distinguish plastid and nuclear DNA in order to assess the extent of variability of promiscuous sequences within and between plant species. Some species, such as Gossypiu...

Variation in salt tolerance of cultivated (hordeum vulgare L.)and wild (H. spontaneum C. koch)barley genotypes from iran

Genetic and Phenotypic Variation for Flowering Time Genes in Barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Objective: Flowering Time (FT) in cereals controlled by genes that had a main factor on plant development. Methods: Genetic and phenotypic diversity of four flowering time genes (FT2, FT3, FT4, Ppd-H1) in 19 genotypes of cultivated and wild barley was evaluated and a total of 107 alleles were amplified. Genotypes based on days to flowering time and molecular data were grouped into earl...
