Assessing the Adaptive Mechanisms of Two Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes to Salinity Stress

Abstract: This work deals with the assessment of physiological and biochemical responses to salt stress, as well as the regulation of the expression of the K+/Na+ transporter gene-TaHKT1;5 of two Triticum aestivum L. genotypes with contrasting tolerance. According to the observations, salinity stress caused lipid peroxidation; accumulation of soluble sugars and proline; decreased osmotic potential, Fv/Fm value, and K+/Na+ ratio; and increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes in both genotypes. In the salt-tolerant ge… Show more

“…Osmotic stress can be evoked by not only salinity but also by drought and heavy metal ions. These stress factors change morphological traits causing the reduction in leaf size and vegetative growth, a decline in photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, and alter stem anatomical features [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. To counteract the negative effects of direct exposure to salinity, plants have developed internal defense mechanisms.…”

“…The locations of the Nax 1 (chromosome 2A) and Nax 2 (chromosome 5A) genes were confirmed by quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis and identified by fine-mapping the Na + transporter from the HKT gene families— HKT7 for Nax 1 and HKT8 for Nax 2 [ 38 , 41 ]. Ibrahimowa et al [ 21 ] studied the response of two T. aestivum genotypes differing in terms of salinity tolerance. These authors observed an increased expression level of the TaHKT1;5 genes in the roots of the salt-sensitive genotype, and its decrease in the salt-tolerant one.…”

“…MDA content, one of the most important products of membrane lipid peroxidation, reflects the degree of damage to the membrane system under biotic and abiotic stresses [12][13][14][15][16]. Salt stress was shown to cause lipid peroxidation as well as the accumulation of soluble sugars and PRO, and to increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes in both salt-resistant and salt-sensitive bread wheat [17]. Increasing NaCl was shown to increase the SOD and POD activities, as well as the PRO and MDA contents, in linseed [18].…”

“…Na + and Cl − contents were much higher in salinity and combined salinity-drought stress than in individual drought stress ( Figure 4 A,C), indicating that water constraint in saline soils does not increase Na + and Cl − accumulation in plants. Salinity stress has primarily increased the concentration of Na + while decreasing the concentration of K + [ 85 , 86 , 87 ], causing the Na + /K + ratio in plant cells to fall out of balance [ 88 , 89 ]. Under sustained combined stress, plants encounter ionic toxicity [ 90 , 91 ].…”
