PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS OF SALINITY TOLERANCE IN PLANTS
Öz
is defined as the ability of plant to maintain normal growth and development under salt conditions.
Salt stress results in accumulation of low molecular weight compounds, termed compatible solutes, which do not interfere with the normal biochemical reactions. These compatible solutes such as
carbohydrates, polyols, amino acids and amides, quaternary ammonium compounds, polyamines and soluble proteins may play a crucial role in osmotic adjustment, protection of macromolecules, maintenance
of cellular pH and detoxification of free radicals. On the other hand, plants subjected to environmental stresses such as salinity produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and these ROS are efficiently eliminated by antioxidant enzyme systems. In plant breeding studies, the use of some physiological and biochemical markers for improving the salt tolerance in plants is crucial. In this review, the possibility of using some physiological and biochemical markers as selection criteria for salt tolerance
is discussed.
