Morphological, biochemical and physiological changes induced by salt stress in wheat

Author: Ulkar Ibrahimova

 

The monograph presents a comparative study of the salt tolerance of regionalized soft (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum (Triticum durum Desf.) wheat genotypes grown under field and laboratory conditions at both the cellular and whole-plant levels. The book provides a thorough analysis of the morphological changes occurring in vegetative organs under salt stress, parameters of the light phase of photosynthesis assessed through chlorophyll fluorescence analyses, indicators of osmotic regulation and water exchange processes, activity of antioxidant enzymes, and the accumulation dynamics of flavonoids and anthocyanins which are considered secondary metabolites, as well as yield components of the studied cultivars.

The monograph can serve as a teaching aid and a valuable source of information for researchers working in the fields of plant physiology, biochemistry, and biophysics, as well as for university departments engaged in relevant educational and scientific activities.
