A doubled haploid (DH) population of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) generated from salinity tolerant genotype CM72 and salinity sensitive variety Gairdner was studied for salinity stress tolerance at germination, seedling emergence and first leaf full expansion growth stages. Germination study was conducted with deionized water, 150 mM and 300 mM NaCl treatments. Seedling stage salinity tolerance ...

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, ...

The present study was carried out to show the negative impact of different concentrations sodium chloride (100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 mM) on germination rate 7-day old maize seeds, according results by measuring growth criteria germinated seeds both mM Nacl these concs nearly lethal seed so, ignored in next experiments complete step with three only 150 200 Nacl.

Calcium binding properties of bone acidic glycoprotein-75, osteopontin, and bone sialoprotein were determined in 10 mM imidazole buffer (pH 6.8), containing either 60 mM KCl or 150 mM NaCl. Proteins assayed were first bound to nitrocellulose to mimic substrate-bound forms in vivo; retention of phosphoproteins was determined through use of radioiodinated tracers. Binding studies were carried out...

Salinity is one of the most important constrain affecting crop growth and productivity. Hence studying salinity at morphological and biochemical point of view has become the basis for understanding salinity and plant interactions. Under stress, plants survive by enhancing the osmolyte accumulation by complex metabolic activities. Present investigation deals with the effect of salinity on growth...

hybrid populations (f3) derived from cross between four moderate salt-resistant spring wheat (triticum aestivum l.) were assessed for transgressive segregation of salt-tolerant genotypes allowing germination and emergence at 350 mm nacl for 30 days. the achieved selection intensity was the order of 0.24-0.27 in these segregation populations (22-25 seedlings from 9000 seeds). assessment of trans...

We investigated the surface hydrophobicity index based on different fluorescence probes [1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid (ANS) and 6-propionyl-2-(N,N-dimethylamino)-naphthalene (PRODAN)], free sulfhydryl and disulfide bond contents, and particle size of 80% milk protein concentrate (MPC80) powders prepared by adding various amounts of NaCl (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) during the diafiltration ...

SDS-PAGE electrophoresis was used to study the effect of NaCl on protein expression in two cultivars of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.): Edkawi (salt-tolerant) and Castle rock (salt-sensitive). Five-day-old seedlings were grown on MS agar media supplemented with 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 300 mM NaCl. Two days after treatment the seedlings were examined to determine the effect of salt on their g...

This paper describes a biochemical study for making complexes between the nucleoprotein of influenza viruses A and B (A/NP and B/NP) and small RNAs (polyUC RNAs from 5 to 24 nucleotides (nt)), starting from monomeric proteins. We used negative stain electron microscopy, size exclusion chromatography-multi-angle laser light scattering (SEC-MALLS) analysis, and fluorescence anisotropy measurement...
