Abstract:

Sesame seeds are a good source for food and health due to their protein and unsaturated fatty acids and secondary metabolites such as lignans. Soil and water salinity is one of the most important factors limiting the growth of this crop. By examining the physiological reactions related to salinity tolerance among different landraces and cultivars, tolerant and sensitive cultivars can be selected and used in breeding programs and cultivation development of this important oilseed. For this purpose, physiological reactions in eight different sesame genotypes in a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with the main salinity factor due to mixing Caspian Sea water with normal water at 3 levels(control, 6 & 9 dSm-1) and sub-factor 8 Sesame genotype includes Babol, Dashtestan 2, Oltan, Pakistani, tn-78-389 and tn-78-393, Halil, Naz single-branched genotypes in three replications in pots in the greenhouse of the Plant Breeding Department of Sari University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources in the year 2020 were examined. The results of this experiment showed that at salinity levels of 6 and 9 dS, among the eight different genotypes of sesame studied, Oltan cultivar with the highest amount of total dry weight (8.42 & 5.27 gr), proline (10.35&15 μmol/g fresh leaf weight), membrane stability index ( 82.65&74.14%), relative water content(81.33 & 69.33%), leaf chlorophyll and carotenoid content(based on mg/g fresh weight), chlorophyll a(0.74&0.7),total chlorophyll(1.12&0.95)and carotenoids(0.41&0.46)and antioxidant enzymes activities (based on enzyme unit per gram fresh weight), superoxide dismutase(18.22&29.05), ascorbate peroxidase(14.9&19.21),catalase(1.51), guaiacol peroxidase(4.8&5.43),potassium(6.6%),sodium to potassium ratio index (0.06&0.12) and the lowest amount of sodium(0.41&0.7)was more tolerant of stress than other cultivars. In contrast, Pakistani cultivar with the lowest amount of total dry weight (5.12 & 2.14 gr), proline(5.86&6.7 μmol/g fresh leaf weight), membrane stability index(66.31 & 57.86%), relative water content (58&48.33%), leaf chlorophyll and carotenoid content (based on mg / g fresh weight), chlorophyll a(0.46&0.37), total chlorophyll(0.69&0.5)and carotenoids(0.25&0.27)and Antioxidant enzymes activities (based on unit of enzyme per gram of fresh weight), superoxide dismutase (11.61&10.31), ascorbate-peroxidase (8.61&8.78),catalase(0.84),guaiacol peroxidase(1.77&2.16), potassium(3.68%), sodium to potassium ratio index(0.59&1.12)and the highest amount of sodium(2.15&2.57)was the most sensitive cultivar in stress tolerance compared to other cultivars. Based on the evaluated traits and the response of the studied cultivars to salinity stress, oltan was identified as a tolerant cultivar and Pakistani as a salinity sensitive cultivar compared to the other cultivars. Therefore, these cultivars can be suggested for use in future breeding programs to introduce new cultivars.

Evaluating the Germination Indices of Different Genotypes of Sesame Plant (Sesamum indicum) Under Salinity Stress

Extended abstract Introduction: One of the ways to overcome the limitation of fresh water and lack of sufficient water reserves for agriculture is to use unconventional waters such as seawater. Salinity stress is the most important abiotic stress in seawater application. Identification and planting of salinity tolerant genotypes of a plant species is one of the effective and valuable strategie...

Physiological responses of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) to foliar application of boron and zinc under drought stress conditions

Micronutriens deficiency is prevalent in case of drought stress conditions, so complementary boron and zinc nutrition are important for crops to overcome drought stress. This study evaluated the effect of zinc and boron foliar application on physiological traits of sesame under different irrigation levels. The experiment was conducted as a split plot in a randomized complete block design with t...

Evaluation of Grain Yield and Agronomic Traits of Foreign Sesame (Sesamum Indicum. L) Genotypes under Drought Stress Conditions

Despite the high potential of sesame production in the country, its yield and water use efficiency is low. Therefore, identifying genotypes with high grain yield, especially under drought stress conditions, is essential for developing this crop. For this purpose, field experiments were conducted to investigate the qualitative and quantitative response of 21 sesame genotypes to drought stress co...

Evaluation of some physiological and biochemical characteristics of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes under salinity stress

Since about 20% of the world's arable land and 50% of productions in the world are subject to salinity stress, it affects all stages of plant life from germination to seed production. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of salinity stress on physiological and biochemical characteristics of some wheat cultivars. For this purpose, a factorial experiment was conducted in a complete...
