Mineral accumulation, relative water content and gas exchange are the main physiological regulating mechanisms to cope with salt stress in barley.

Salinity has become a major environmental concern for agricultural lands, leading to decreased crop yields. Hence, plant biology experts aim to genetically improve barley's adaptation to salinity stress by deeply studying the effects of salt stress and the responses of barley to this stress. In this context, our study aims to explore the variation in physiological and biochemical responses of five Tunisian spring barley genotypes to salt stress during the heading phase.

Dissecting the Genetic Basis of Lateral and Central Spikelet Development and Grain Traits in -Spike Barley ( Convar. ).

Barley ( L.) is one of the major grain crops worldwide and considered as a model plant for temperate cereals. One of the barley row-type groups, named barley, was used in our previous study where we reported that other genetic loci rather than and could play a role in lateral spikelet development and even in setting grains.

Spike developmental stages and ABA role in spikelet primordia abortion contribute to the final yield in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.).

Background: Salinity is a significant environmental stress factor limiting crops productivity. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has a natural tolerance to salinity stress, making it an interesting study object in stress biology research.
