abstract

a hydroponic experiment was carried out to compare root anatomy and hydraulic conductivity of four barley cultivars including valfajr, karoon, afzal and zarjo under salt stress conditions. the results showed that under salt stress, the minimum diameter of vessels was observed in the peripheral metaxylem of seminal roots of valfajr cultivar and in adventitious roots; karoon with 19±3 µm had maximum diameter of vessels. in all barely cultivars, salt stress affected the diameter of central and peripheral metaxylem vessels more negatively in comparison to the number of the vessels. the mature xylem vessels of the seminal roots of the valfajr and zarjo cultivars had the most lignified cell walls. when the plants were exposed to salt stress, the casparian bands could be detected more in the seminal roots as u-shape and not in the adventitious roots. the lowest lignification thickness of cell wall (0.78 µm) was observed in the central metaxylem vessels of adventitious roots of afzal cultivar under salt stress. also, afzal cultivar with highest surface area and lowest thickness of lignified cell walls, had the highest seminal root hydraulic conductivity (5.84×10-9 m s-1 mpa-1), whereas hydraulic conductivity was decreased to 3.21 and 3.17×10-9 m s-1 mpa-1 in valfajr and zarjo cultivars, respectively. overall, afzal and karoon cultivars were found to perform better in water uptake at the early stages of growth due to less lignified cell walls of xylem in seminal and adventitious roots under salt stress conditions. further research on hydraulic conductivity could be recommended.

Dynamic regulation of the root hydraulic conductivity of barley plants in response to salinity/osmotic stress.

Salinity stress significantly reduces the root hydraulic conductivity (Lpr) of several plant species including barley (Hordeum vulgare). Here we characterized changes in the Lpr of barley plants in response to salinity/osmotic stress in detail using a pressure chamber. Salt-tolerant and intermediate barley cultivars, K305 and Haruna-nijyo, but not a salt-sensitive cultivar, I743, exhibited char...

Mild Salt Stress Conditions Induce Different Responses in Root Hydraulic Conductivity of Phaseolus vulgaris Over-Time

Plants respond to salinity by altering their physiological parameters in order to maintain their water balance. The reduction in root hydraulic conductivity is one of the first responses of plants to the presence of salt in order to minimize water stress. Although its regulation has been commonly attributed to aquaporins activity, osmotic adjustment and the toxic effect of Na+ and Cl- have also...
