Genetic and epigenetic effects of salinity on in vitro growth of barley

Abstract: Morphological, physiological and molecular changes were investigated in in vitro salt-stressed barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Tokak). Mature embryos were cultured in Murashige and Skoog medium containing 0 (control), 50 and 100 mM NaCl for 20 days. Both concentrations inhibited shoot growth, decreased fresh weight and protein content, and increased SOD (EC 1.15.1.1) activity in a dose-dependent manner. The lower concentration increased root growth. Salinity caused nucleotide variations in roots, but did not af… Show more

“…Coupled restriction enzyme digestion-random amplification (CRED-RA) is a method used to detect DNA methylation which is one of the main causes of epigenetic variations [28]. This technique allows amplification of a DNA fragment containing a cut site of a methylation sensitive restriction enzyme, only when the cytosine residue within the site is methylated and protected from digestion [50].…”

“…Salinity affects plant growth, activity of major cytosolic enzymes by disturbing intracellular potassium homeostasis, causing oxidative stress and programmed cell death, reduced nutrient uptake, metabolic toxicity, inhibition of photosynthesis, reduced CO2 assimilation and reduced root respiration (Sairam and Srivastava, 2002;Cuin and Shabala, 2007;Chen et al, 2007;Shabala, 2009;Abogadallah, 2010;Demirkiran et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2014).…”
