abstract

plants are naturally exposed to frequent changes in environmental conditions such as salt stress affecting their growth and development, and consequently a considerable reduction in total productivity. monodehydroascorbate reductase (mdhar), a key enzyme in ascorbate-glutathione cycle, serves as an important antioxidative enzyme in scavenging of reactive oxygen spices (ros). in this study, mdhar gene from aeluropus littoralis was isolated using specific primers by rt-pcr and its expression variation was investigated at 0, 150, 300, 450 and 600 mm of nacl through real-time pcr. the results indicated that a. littoralis mdhar gene compromised 1436 bp without any introns, showing a high similarity with sorghum bicolor. the only alteration of mdhar expression was observed at 300 mm nacl, i.e. cytosolic mdhar in both shoot and root was increased 1.3 and 1.4 fold compared to control samples. it could be concluded that accumulation of mdhar reduces at nacl concentrations higher than 300 mm.

Morphological and anatomical changes in stems of Aeluropus littoralis under salt stress

Salinity is one of the most important agricultural issues causing considerable yield reduction in agricultural crops. The main adverse effects of salinity are due to excess amount of sodium ions that is toxic to plant cells. Most halophytes are equipped with defense mechanisms enabling them to tolerate the salty habitats. Among grass plants, Aeluropus littoralis is a known monocots hal...

Expression pattern analysis of transcription factors from Aeluropus littoralis in response to salt stress and recovery condition.

Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that decrease crop production. Transcription factors (TFs) are prominent regulators in plant responses to abiotic stress. In the present study, the expression pattern of four salt-induced genes encoding transcription factors, namely, MYB, RF2, GTF, and ARID was studied in response to salt stress (sodium chloride) and recovery conditions. Th...

cloning and expression analysis of arabidopsis trr14 gene under salt and drought stress

trr14 is a novel protein important in trehalose (α-d-glucosyl-[1,1]-α-d-glucopyranoside) signaling in arabidopsis. in this research, we provided evidences to demonstrate that trr14 plays role in arabidopsis responses to salt and drought stress. the transgenic arabidopsis plants over-expressing trr14 under the control of camv 35s promoter were generated. transformed lines showed higher transcrip...

Expression analysis of salt stress related expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from Aeluropus littoralis by quantitative real-time PCR

Aeluropus littoralis is a monocot halophyte grass and provide valuable genetic resources for understanding the molecular mechanisms of stress-responsive genes, and improving tolerance to abiotic stresses in economically important crops. In an attempt to identify salt stressed responsive genes, 154 isolated expressed sequence tags (EST) from A. littoralis were bioinformatically analyzed and func...

Up-regulation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase under salt stress may enable Aeluropus littoralis to cope with stress

Most plants encounter stress such as drought and salinity that adversely affect growth, development and crop productivity. The expression of the gene glutathione-s-transferases (GST) extends throughout various protective mechanisms in plants and allows them to adapt to unfavorable environmental conditions. GSTF1 (the first phi GSTFs class) gene expression patterns in the wheat cultivars Mahuti ...
