Abstract
Changes in lipid metabolism and composition as well as in distinct lipid species have been linked with altered plant growth, development and responses to environmental stresses including salinity. However, there is little information available in the literature focusing on lipids in roots under soil-related stresses such as salinity. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a major cereal grain and, as a glycophyte, suffers substantial yield loss when grown under saline conditions. Relatively little is understood of adaptation and tolerance mechanisms involving lipids and lipid metabolism in barley roots during development and under exposure to salinity stress. In this study we investigated the lipid ..
