Effect Of Salt Stress And Synthetic Hormone Polystimuline K Onthe Photosynthetic Activity Of Cotton ( Gossypium Hirsutum), Rena A. Ganieva, Surhay R. Allahverdiyev, Nilufar B. Guseinova, Halil I. Kavakli, Saeedeh Nafisi

Turkish Journal of Botany

The effects of Polystimuline K (PS-K), as a cytokinin analogue, on delayed light component state (DF), intermittent fluorescence (IF) and chlorophyll (Chl) a/b ratio was investigated in the leaves of different genotypes of cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) under salt stress (155 mM Na Cl) for different periods of time. It was shown that in the early perioid of salt stress, DF and IF amplitudes are decreased, which is indicative of a Photosystem II (PS II) activity decrease. It is possibly related to the damage of chlorophyll in the PS II donor site and the decrease of Chl b molecules …

Effects Of Salt Stress And Synthetic Hormone Polystimuline K Onphotosynthetic Activity Of Trianea Bogotensis Karst, Surhay Ragimoğlu Allahverdiev, Meltem Mavi̇tuna, Rena Gani̇eva, Saeedeh Nafisi

Turkish Journal of Botany

In the present study the effect of kinetin like synthetic hormone Polystimuline K (PS-K) on photosynthetic activity of salt stressed Trianea bogotensis Karst (Hydrocharitaceae) has been shown. Chlorophyll variable fluorescence (Fv) and slow fluo- rescence (SF) have been used to investigate the sensitivity of Photosystem II (PS II) to different salt stress treatments (103, 155 and 344 mM), at different time courses (15, 30, 60, 360 and 720 minutes). Salt stress (155 mM NaCl) treatments of the seed- lings inhibited the SF magnitude approximately to 50 %. Pretreatment of seedlings for 30 minutes in 20 mg/l PS-K followed by salt …
