Evaluating the contribution of osmotic and oxidative stress components on barley growth under salt stress.

ABSTRACT: Salt stress is considered one of the most devastating environmental stresses, affecting barley growth and leading to significant yield loss. Hence, there is considerable interest in investigating the most effective traits that determine barley growth under salt stress. The objective of this study was to elucidate the contribution of osmotic and oxidative stress components in leaves and roots growth under salt stress. Two distinct barley (Hordeum vulgare) salt-stress tolerant genotypes, Barrage Malleg (BM, tolerant) and Saouef (Sf, sensitive), were subjected to 200 mM NaCl at early vegetative stages. Stressed and control leaves and roots tissue were assessed for several growth traits, including fresh and dry weight and plant length, as well as the content of osmoprotectants proline a
