Effect of salt stress on some defense mechanisms of transgenic and wild potato clones (Solanum tuberosum L.) grown in vitro

چکیده
Genetically modified plants (GMPs) proved to be a promising solution for many of biotic and abiotic stresses which affect food production. Great attention was given to the evaluation of growth, nutritional quality and safety of GMPs before release and commercialization. In this study, we targeted physiological and biochemical evaluation of transgenic potato plantlets under salt stress conditions. In vitro evaluation of salinity effects on transformed and non-transformed clones was investigated with four NaCI (0, 30, 60 and 90 mM). On exposure to NaCl for one month, the shoots height, fresh and dry weight of transformed clone showed significant decrease than those of non-transformed clone. Different biochemical parameters such as proline accumulation, lipid peroxidation, pigments content, ascorbate, and glutathione contents were tested in order to put forward the relative tolerance of both clones to salinity. Constitutive levels of these parameters were almost not similar between both clones. Additionally, electrophoretic analysis of total soluble protein (SDS-PAGE) and some isoenzymes such as acid phosphatase and esterase have revealed that plant subjected to NaCl showed induction in the synthesis of new polypeptides and isoformes. Our finding suggest that, the response of potato plantlets to salt stress may be accomplished by increasing the capacity of antioxidative system and the synthesis of new protein and isoenzymes which could be in turn contribute to select a salt resistant in potato.

Response of potato species to salt and osmotic stress in vitro and the role of acetylsalicylic acid: non-enzymatic antioxidants . Fatemeh Daneshmand1*, Mohammad Javad Arvin2
In a series of experiment, the response of two contrasting potato species, namely, Solanum acaule (tolerant) and Solanum tuberosum cv. Agria (intolerant) to salt (80 mM NaCl) and drought stress (15% polyethylene glycol;PEG) was studied in vitro. Furthermore, the role of acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) (1 and 10 µM) in alleviating oxidative stress was investigated. In Agria cultivar, NaCl and PEG r...

To obtain a higher percentage of callogenesis and consequently the maximum number of plantlets, one of the most important procedures for transgenic plant production. To this end, a factorial experiment using completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications was carried out to assess the effect of cultivar (Marfona and Agria), type of explants(leaf and internode), Kanamycin concentration...
متن کاملOverexpression of 2-cysteine peroxiredoxin enhances tolerance to methyl viologen-mediated oxidative stress and high temperature in potato plants.
Oxidative stress is one of the major causative factors for injury to plants exposed to environmental stresses. Plants have developed diverse defense mechanisms for scavenging oxidative stress-inducing molecules. The antioxidative enzyme 2-cysteine peroxiredoxin (2-Cys Prx) removes peroxides and protects the photosynthetic membrane from oxidative damage. In this study, transgenic potato (Solanum...

The use of in vitro potato shoot cultures for protoplast isolation is desirable for consistent protoplast qualities. Ethylene build-up in the culture vessels causes problems for leaf growth (e.g. decreasing leaf surface, dry weight and chlorophyll) in shoot culture. Fifty to one hundred µM Silver thiosulfate (STS) produced a larger leaf area as a source of plant material for protoplast isolatio...
