Impact of Salinity Stress on Arachis hypogaea L and Identification of Salt Tolerance Mechanism

Abstract

The objectives of the present study are To screen the groundnut varieties for tolerance to salinity stress by in vitro method newlineTo understand the physiological biochemical and molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance in groundnut newlineTo evaluate the efficacy of various growth regulating chemicals on mitigating the stress effects newlineTo identify the expression of heat shock protein hsp70 in stress induced Arachis hypogaea L newlineTo compare the sequence of hsp 70 gene in Arachis hypogaea L with salt tolerant protein sequence of other plants identified for future studies through in silico methods newline newline
