چکیده

"NYB" is a chlorophyll-less barley mutant, which grows relatively slow and unhealthily. The effects of water stress on photosystem II (PSII) of NYB and its wild type (WT) were investigated. Unexpected results indicated that the mutant was more resistant to water stress, because: PSII core proteins D1, D2 and LHCII declined more in WT than in NYB under water stress, and the corresponding psbA, psbD and cab mRNAs also decreased more dramatically in WT; CO2 assimilation, stomatal conductance, maximum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm), efficiency of excitation energy capture by open PSII reaction centres (Fv'/Fm'), quantum yield of PSII electron transport (Phi(PSII)) and DCIP photoreduction in NYB were less sensitive to water stress than in WT, although the non-photochemical quenching coefficient (q(N)) and the photochemical quenching coefficient (q(P)) were almost the same in NYB and WT. Effective chlorophyll utilization and improved PSII protein formation in the mutant may be the reason for the enhanced stress resistance. Other possible mechanisms are also discussed.

Characterization of a Thermo-Inducible Chlorophyll-Deficient Mutant in Barley

Leaf color is an important trait for not only controlling crop yield but also monitoring plant status under temperature stress. In this study, a thermo-inducible chlorophyll-deficient mutant, named V-V-Y, was identified from a gamma-radiated population of the barley variety Vlamingh. The leaves of the mutant were green under normal growing temperature but turned yellowish under high temperature...

The Study of SOS Genes Expression in Mutant Barley Root under Salt Stress

Soil salinity is one of the most critical factors reducing crop yield. SOS signaling is one of the significant pathways that regulate ion homeostasis and it has the important role in mechanism of plant resistance to environmental stresses such as salt stress. Roots are the first organ of plants exposed to salt, so the role of genes involved in this pathway and their relation to salt tolerance w...
