Salinity is a major abiotic stress that adversely affects plant growth and development. Canola (Brassica napus
L.) is an important oilseed crop in the world, and its yield decreases drastically with increasing salinity. To
date, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying its salt stress response and tolerance. This
study combines physiological assays with comparative proteomics to understand how B. napus plants respond
to salt stress. The changes in relative water content, electrical conductance, stomata conductance, intercellular
CO2 concentration, transpiration rate, photosynthesis rate, water usage efficiency, respiration rate, chlorophyll
fluorescence, antioxidant enzyme activities, soluble sugar, proline and betaine in B. napus plants under different
NaCl concentrations were analyzed. Proteomic profiles of .. View More»
