Lipid Composition of Plasma Membranes and Endomembranes Prepared from Roots of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) : Effects of Salt.

Green synthesis of Se nanoparticles and its effect on salt tolerance of barley plants

In this study, selenite ions were reduced to selenium nanoparticles using a leaf extract of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plants. Characterization of synthesized nanoparticles using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible spectrophotometry indicated the formation of variable size of selenium nanoparticles, suggesting that leaf extract could form polydispersed nanoparti...

The effects of salt stress on polypeptides in membrane fractions from barley roots.

Cell fractions enriched in endoplasmic reticulum, tonoplast, plasma membrane, and cell walls were isolated from roots of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv CM 72) and the effect of NaCl on polypeptide levels was examined by two-dimensional (2D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The distribution of membranes on continuous sucrose gradients was not significantly affected by growing seedlings in the ...

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

The regulation of potassium absorption in barley roots.

The dynamics of changes in K(+) influx across the plasmalemma and of internal K(+) concentrations [K(+)](1) of intact barley (Hordeum vulgare) roots were examined as the roots were converted from ;high-salt' to ;low-salt' roots. Following the transfer of plants grown in 0.5 mm CaSO(4) solutions plus various concentrations of KCl to 0.5 mm CaSO(4) solutions, influx rates increased and internal K...

Genetic and epigenetic effects of salinity on in vitro growth of barley

Morphological, physiological and molecular changes were investigated in in vitro salt-stressed barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Tokak). Mature embryos were cultured in Murashige and Skoog medium containing 0 (control), 50 and 100 mM NaCl for 20 days. Both concentrations inhibited shoot growth, decreased fresh weight and protein content, and increased SOD (EC 1.15.1.1) activity in a dose-dependent...
