Effect of Osmotic Stress on Ion Transport Processes and Phospholipid Composition of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Mitochondria.

چکیده
The effect of osmotic stress on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) mitochondrial activity and phospholipid composition was investigated. Preliminary growth measurements showed that osmotic stress (-0.25 or -0.5 megapascal external water potential) inhibited the rate of shoot dry matter accumulation while root dry matter accumulation was less sensitive. We have determined that differences in sensitivity to osmotic stress existed between tissues at the mitochondrial level. Mitochondria isolated from roots or shoots of stressed seedlings showed respiratory control and ADP/O ratios similar to control seedlings which indicates that stressed mitochondria were well coupled. However, under passive swelling conditions in a KCl reaction mixture, the rate and extent of valinomycin-induced swelling of shoot mitochondria were increased by osmotic stress while root mitochondria were largely unaffected. Active ion transport studies showed efflux transport by stressed-shoot mitochondria to be partially inhibited since mitochondrial contraction required the addition of N-ethylmaleimide or nigericin. Efflux ion transport by root mitochondria was not inhibited by osmotic stress which indicates that stress-induced changes in ion transport were largely limited to shoot mitochondria. Characterization of mitochondrial fatty acid and phospholipid composition showed an increase in the percentage of phosphatidylcholine in stressed shoot mitochondria compared to the control. Mitochondrial fatty acid composition was not markedly altered by stress. No significant changes in either the phospholipid or fatty acid composition of stressed root mitochondria were observed. Hence, these results suggest that a tissue-specific response to osmotic stress exists at the mitochondrial level.

Crops growing in salt-affected soils may suffer from physiological drought stress, ion toxicity, and mineral deficiency. A pot study was conducted in 2004-2005 in the Aghala area (northern Iran) to study the effect of different salinity levels, i.e. ECe= 3 (control), 8, 12 and 16 dS m-1 on wheat grain, yield components and leaf ion uptake of four Iranian wheat genotypes, i.e. Kouhdasht, Atrak, ...

Effect of drought stress on MYB gene expression and osmotic regulator levels of five durum wheat genotypes (Triticum turgidum L.)
Plant growth is greatly influenced by environmental stresses including water deficit, salinity and extreme temperatures. Therefore, the identification of genes, especially regulatory ones whose expression enables plants to adapt to or to tolerate these abiotic stresses, is very essential. MYB proteins, a superfamily of transcription factors, play regulatory roles in developmental processes and ...
