Isolation and Semi Quantitative PCR of Na⁺/H⁺ Antiporter (SOS1 and NHX) Genes under Salinity Stress in Kochia scoparia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Kochia scoparia is a dicotyledonous annual herb and belongs to the Amaranthaceae family. Genetic diversity and resistance to drought stress of this plant has made it widely scattered in different regions which contains highly genetic diversity and great potential as fodder and can grow on salty, drought affected areas. Since the soil salinity has become widely spread, environmental concern has sparked so many debates. An important limiting factor in agricultural production worldwide is the sensitivity of most of the crop to salinity caused by high concentration of salts soil. Plants use three different strategies to prevent and adapt to high Na⁺ concentrations. Antiporters are important category of genes that play a pivotal role in ion homeostasis in pl
