Abstract
The halophytic plant (Cakile maritima) possess many unique genetic characteristics contributing to plant{u2019}s ability to withstand and tolerate salinity conditions. It is a member of the Brassicaceae family, with a small genome size (720 Mb) and a short life cycle, making it of value for conducting genetic studies to understand molecular bases of salinity. In the present study, C. maritima seedlings were exposed to different salt treatments for different exposure time to identify new salinity-responsive genes. One group was directly treated with different salinity levels (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mM NaCl) for 4, 8, and 12 hrs.; while the second group was subjected to a gradual increase of salt concentration. Some of the transcripts that were differentially expressed in response to the salinity stress were isolated using the differential-display reverse transcription-PCR (DDRT-PCR) technique. Fourteen re-amplified fragments were selected, and were bioinformatically analyzed and annotated
