  Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) known as bread wheat (hexaploid), is an important cereal for millions around the world. Excessive salts in soil affect growth, development and productivity of crop plants and have been major constraints to agriculture. Plants, being sessile in nature, have developed mechanisms to cope with high salt concentrations in soil. To understand salt-tolerance in crop plant and its improvement, Total Phenolic Content (TPC), Lipid Peroxidation (LP), total Antioxidant activity (AO) and high affinity potassium transporters (HKTs) in shoot and root regions of contrasting wheat genotype WH 542 (salt-susceptible) and KRL 210 (salt-tolerant) were studied on seed priming with two different biotic elicitors-Salicylic Acid (SA) and Methyl Jasmonate (MJ). Primed seeds were sown in pots under controlled conditions in phytotron and were exposed to 150 mM NaCl stress after 14 da.. View More»
