| Abstract | This study investigated molecular mechanism of spermidine (Spd)-mediated enhancement of tolerance against salinity during alfalfa seed germination.A combination of histochemical, physiological and molecular approaches was used to study the effect of Spd on the alleviation of salt toxicity.Exogenously applied Spd (100 μM) and a heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inducer hemin (10 μM) not only up-regulated alfalfa HO-1 gene expression and increased its protein level and activity, but also significantly alleviated the inhibitory effects of 100 mM NaCl on seed germination and seedling growth. K$^{+}$ to Na$^{+}$ ratio was also increased. Further results revealed that total, isozymatic activities or corresponding transcripts of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and guaiacol peroxidase (POD), were induced differentially. These antioxidant behaviors were confirmed by histochemical staining for the detection of lipid peroxidation and the loss of plasma membrane integrity. Above cytoprotective role of Spd is specific for HO-1 because the inhibitor of HO-1 significantly suppressed above responses, and some of the inhibitory effects were reversed when 10 % carbon monoxide (CO)-saturated aqueous solution was added.Together, our results suggested that Spd-mediated alleviation of NaCl toxicity during alfalfa seed germination acts, at least partially, in a HO-1-dependent pathway. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
