Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate molecular responses of Lens culinaris Medik. (L. culinaris) plantlets to salinity stress concomitant with investigating the role of exogenous bio-stimulants application strategy chitosan (CTS) in ameliorating the deleterious effect of salt stress. In vitro-produced plantlets of L. culinaris were treated with varying levels of NaCl (50, 100 and 150 mM) added to MS solid media and/or a long with CTS (0.1 mg L-1). The molecular level, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis technique (SDS-PAGE) for protein profile, was done. Analysing changes in SDS-PAGE protein banding patterns revealed a total number of 30 bands with molecular weights ranging from 15.2 KDa to 90.6 KDa. thirteen bands were observed as monomorphic, while seventeen bands were polymorphic, giving 43.33% polymorphism. Proteins banding was increased under salt stress compared to control induced as salt marker proteins.
