ABSTRACT
To explore the effect of salt stress on photosynthetic traits and gene expression in Indian mustard, four genotypes CS 54 (national check for salinity), CS 52-SPS-1-2012 (salt tolerant mutant), CS 614-4-1-4-100-13 (salt sensitive mutant) and Pusa bold (high yielding variety) were evaluated under irrigation water salinity (ECiw 12, and 15 dS m-1). Results suggest genotype CS 52-SPS-1-2012 followed by CS 54 performed better under imposed salt stress due to differential regulation of Na+ accumulation in the roots and main stem, restriction of Na+ influx from root to shoot, maintaining higher net photosynthetic traits under saline stress compared to CS 614-4-1-4-100-13 and Pusa bold. Further, overexpression of antiporters (SOS1, SOS2, SOS3, ENH1 and NHX1) and antioxidant (APX1, APX4, DHAR1 and MDHAR) genes in salt tolerant genotypes CS 52-SPS-1-2012 and CS 54 demonstrated their significant role in imparting salt tolerance in Indian mustard.
