Application of nitric oxide and calcium nitrate enhances tolerance of wheat seedlings to salt stress

Role of Exogenous 24-Epibrassinolide in Enhancing the Salt Tolerance of Wheat Seedlings

“…Of them, ion toxicity, osmotic stress and production of ROS are most prominent (Tian et al, 2015). Salinity also induces water deficit even in well watered soils by decreasing the osmotic potential of soil solutes, thus making it difficult for roots to extract water from their surrounding media.…”

Hydrogen sulfide: a new endogenous player in an old mechanism of plant tolerance to high salinity

“…Then, cellular turgor was maintained at normal levels and seedlings overcame NaCl stress. Mustard plants subjected to salt stress exhibited higher amounts of glycine betaine when treated with SNP (Khan et al 2012), while wheat plants accumulated soluble carbohydrates in cells (Tian et al 2015). The NO released from SNAP also induced accumulation of L-proline, L-glycine betaine, soluble proteins and carbohydrates in leaves of saltstressed chickpea (Ahmad et al 2016).…”

“…Besides intense Na + secretion from sealavender (Limonium bicolor) leaves under stress, SNP caused an increment in the number of Na + -loaded salt glands in saltstressed plants (Ding 2013). In addition to increasing K + /Na + ratio, SNP enhanced Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ uptake in salt-stressed plants (Liu et al 2013;Tian et al 2015;Liu et al 2016).…”

“…Since then, NO has been shown to influence plant response to salt stress by improving seed vigor and germination (Hayat et al 2012) and controlling the cellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Keyster et al 2012;Ahmad et al 2016), nutrient (Kong et al 2016;Liu et al 2016) and osmoprotectants Tian et al 2015). The NO biosynthesis in plant cells can occur by non-enzymatic and enzymatic means.…”
