Özet
- Anthropogenic activities are intensifying
- global warming, which in turn is increasingly
- leading to destructive environmental issues such as
- elevated temperature, salinity, and drought. It is
- expected that, due to climate change, the proportion
- of arable land affected by salinity will increase,
- thereby exacerbating the threat to global food
- security posed by a rapidly growing population.
- Consequently, efforts to reduce yield losses have
- become a central focus. Wheat is the world’s most
- important cereal crop in terms of nutrition. It is well
- established that abiotic stresses, including salinity
- stress, disturb plant homeostasis and cause nuclear
- damage. Chitosan (Cht), a signaling molecule, has
- been shown to mitigate the adverse effects of salinity
- stress in plants. This study aimed to elucidate the
- biochemical changes induced by salt stress in wheat
- and to assess the efficacy of chitosan application in
- preventing nuclear physical damage. The results
- demonstrated that salinity significantly affects the
- levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase
- (CAT), and malondialdehyde (MDA), while also
- increasing the parameters (tail length, tail % DNA,
- and tail moment) used to quantify nuclear physical
- damage. Furthermore, chitosan application
- contributed to improved plant homeostasis and a
- reduction in nuclear damage.
