Accession Variation for Salt Tolerance in Proso Millet ( Panicum miliaceum L.) Using Leaf Proline Content and Activities of Some Key Antioxidant Enzymes

Accession Variation for Salt Tolerance in Proso Millet ( Panicum miliaceum L.) Using Leaf Proline... Inter‐accession variation for salt tolerance of Panicum miliaceum (proso millet) was appraised using leaf proline content and activities of antioxidant enzymes as selection criteria. Eighteen accessions of proso millet were grown under control conditions and after 14 days subjected to saline (120 mm NaCl) stress for 4 weeks. Salt stress substantially decreased relative water content (RWC), while increased leaf free proline and malondialdehyde (MDA) and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) of all accessions of proso millet. The difference among the accessions of P. miliaceum was significant in yield as well as in the activities of antioxidant enzymes analyses. On the basis of seed yield (expressed as per cent of control), of 18 accessions, three were categorised as salt‐tolerant (008211, 008214 and 008226), seven as moderately tolerant (008210, 008213, 008216, 008220, 008222, 008223 and 008242) and eight as salt‐sensitive (008208, 008215, 008217, 008218, 008221, 008225, 008230 and 008236). Of all P. miliaceum accessions, 008211, 008226, 008215 and 008218 were relatively higher in proline, 008214 and 008221 in MDA contents, 00812, 008225, 008236, 008222 and 008242 in SOD activity and 008218, 008220, 008211 and 008226 in POD and CAT enzyme activities. Thus, because of differential response of high or low seed yielded accessions in accumulation of proline and antioxidant enzyme activities, these variables were not found effective criteria for discriminating the P. miliaceum accessions for salt tolerance. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science Wiley

Abstract

Inter‐accession variation for salt tolerance of Panicum miliaceum (proso millet) was appraised using leaf proline content and activities of antioxidant enzymes as selection criteria. Eighteen accessions of proso millet were grown under control conditions and after 14 days subjected to saline (120 mm NaCl) stress for 4 weeks. Salt stress substantially decreased relative water content (RWC), while increased leaf free proline and malondialdehyde (MDA) and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) of all accessions of proso millet. The difference among the accessions of P. miliaceum was significant in yield as well as in the activities of antioxidant enzymes analyses. On the basis of seed yield (expressed as per cent of control), of 18 accessions, three were categorised as salt‐tolerant (008211, 008214 and 008226), seven as moderately tolerant (008210, 008213, 008216, 008220, 008222, 008223 and 008242) and eight as salt‐sensitive (008208, 008215, 008217, 008218, 008221, 008225, 008230 and 008236). Of all P. miliaceum accessions, 008211, 008226, 008215 and 008218 were relatively higher in proline, 008214 and 008221 in MDA contents, 00812, 008225, 008236, 008222 and 008242 in SOD activity and 008218, 008220, 008211 and 008226 in POD and CAT enzyme activities. Thus, because of differential response of high or low seed yielded accessions in accumulation of proline and antioxidant enzyme activities, these variables were not found effective criteria for discriminating the P. miliaceum accessions for salt tolerance.
