Salt stress is one of the main abiotic stresses limiting sustainable crop
production in the world. Biopriming is the technique involving the use of
beneficial and environmentally friendly biological agents to improve the
physiological functioning of seeds. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria
(PGPR) are found in the rhizosphere of plants and have the potential to
cope with salinity stress. In this study, the effects of Bacillus
thuringiensis LU3 (Bt LU3) biopriming application on two common
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties (Sultan-95 and Tosunbey) under
salt stress (0, 100 and 200 mM NaCI) on physiological (root and shoot
length, biomass, dry weight, specific leaf area (SLA)), and biochemical
parameters (pigment content, total protein content, hydrogen peroxide
content (H2O2), lipid peroxidation content (TBARS) and antioxidant
enzyme activities (peroxidase activity (POX), glutathione reductase
activity (GR))) were investigated. As a result, it was determined that saltsensitive Sultan-95 had better growth with Bt LU3 biopriming compared
to salt-tolerant Tosunbey.
