Induction of Salt Stress Tolerance in Wheat Seeds by Parental Treatment with Salicylic Acid.

Soil salinization is an important factor that limits crop production. The effects of spraying salicylic acid (SA) during the grain-filling stage on the salt tolerance of progeny seeds in wheat ( L.) were investigated in this study.

The Role of the Ascorbic Acid-Glutathione Cycle in Young Wheat Ears' Response to Spring Freezing Stress.

Freezing stress in spring often causes the death and abnormal development of young ears of wheat, leading to a significant reduction in grain production. However, the mechanisms of young wheat ears responding to freezing are largely unclear. In this study, the role of the ascorbic acid-glutathione cycle (AsA-GSH cycle) in alleviating freezing-caused oxidative damage in young wheat ears at the anther connective tissue formation phase (ACFP) was investigated.

Label-Free Quantitative Proteomics Reveal the Mechanisms of Young Wheat ( L.) Ears' Response to Spring Freezing.

Late spring frost is an important meteorological factor threatening the safe production of winter wheat in China. The young ear is the most vulnerable organ of the wheat plant to spring frost. To gain an insight into the mechanisms underpinning young wheat ears' tolerance to freezing, we performed a comparative proteome analysis of wheat varieties Xumai33 (XM33, freezing-sensitive) and Jimai22 (JM22, freezing-tolerant) under normal and freezing conditions using label-free quantitative proteomic techniques during the anther connective tissue formation phase (ACFP).
