The current study was undertaken to investigate if there is a relationship between metabolisms of ethylene and polyamines in the processes of salinity acclimation of salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive maize genotypes. Biphasic ethylene production (at 5.5 and 12.5 h) was registered only in salt-sensitive plants during NaCl exposure. In the salt-tolerant genotype, the unique ethylene peak at 5.5 h was closely relat...
Salinity is an abiotic stress that strongly limits plant growth, development and productivity, especially in arid and semiarid regions. Survival in saline environments depends on several adaptive processes, which involve absorption, transport and distribution of ions in various plant organs, accumulation of organic solutes in cells and an efficient antioxidant defense system to combat oxidative stress. Using tw...
