Özet

Salt stress is an important factor inducing the expression of many genes; e.g. the osmotin gene is one of the very important genes responding to NaCl stress. After exposure to NaCl stress, the osmotin gene expression level was investigated in 6 grape cultivars grown in GAP (Southeast Anatolian region including the provinces Gaziantep, Sanliurfa, Diyarbakir, Mardin, Batman, Siirt and Sirnak) and in 4 grape cultivars and 7 rootstocks recommended to the GAP region. Expression levels were investigated by Northern blot analysis. The osmotin expression level was higher in scion cultivars than in rootstocks. Within grapevine cultivars, the highest osmotin gene expression level was observed in cv. Tahannebi, followed by Honusu, another GAP region cultivar. The osmotin gene expression levels of two grape cultivars, Ata sarisi and Alphonse Lavallee recommended to the GAP region, were lower than those of Honusu. On the other hand the GAP region cultivars Ag Besni, Rumi, Kabarcik, Dimiski and the recommended cultivars Razaki and Italia were significantly different in their expression levels.
