Abstract:The impact of salinity on wheat plants is often studied by analysis of shoot responses, even though the main mechanism of tolerance is shoot Na+ exclusion. There is a need to understand the molecular responses of root tissues that directly experience rising NaCl concentrations. We have combined analysis of root growth, ion content and respiration with proteome responses in wheat root tip and mature root tissues under saline conditions. We find significant changes in translation and protein synthesis, energy me… Show more
