Using real-time PCR analysis, the constitutive expression of PR-protein genes encoding thaumatin-like protein (TLP), peroxidase III (TaPero), chitinase (Chitin), glucanase (Glucan), protease inhibitor (PrInh), oxalate oxidase (OxOxid) and lipid transfer protein (Ltp) was studied in collection varieties of winter wheat. It has been shown that plants of varieties with increased resistance to a complex of leaf pathogens have higher constitutive expression levels of Chitin and PrInh genes, and, to a greater extent, of TLP, TaPero and Glucan genes, compared with non-resistant varieties. It is proposed to use constitutive levels of expression of TLP, TaPero and Glucan genes for the selection of winter wheat varietal samples with increased resistance to the complex of leaf diseases.

Photosystem II is extremely susceptible to environmental alterations, particularly high temperatures. The maintenance of an efficient photosynthetic system under stress conditions is one of the main issues for plants to attain their required energy. Nowadays, searching for stress alleviators is the main goal for maintaining photosynthetic system productivity and, thereby, crop yield under global climate change. Potassium silicate (K2SiO3, 1.5 mM) and silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO2NPs, 1.66 mM) were used to mitigate the negative impacts of heat stress (45 °C, 5 h) on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. (Shandawelly) seedlings. The results showed that K2SiO3 and SiO2NPs diminished leaf rolling symptoms and electrolyte leakage (EL) of heat-stressed wheat leaves. Furthermore, the maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) and the performance index (PIabs), as well as the photosynthetic pigments and organic solutes including soluble sugars, sucrose, and proline accumulation, were increased in K2SiO3 and SiO2NPs stressed leaves. At the molecular level, RT-PCR analysis showed that K2SiO3 and SiO2NPs treatments stimulated the overexpression of PsbH, PsbB, and PsbD genes. Notably, this investigation indicated that K2SiO3 was more effective in improving wheat thermotolerance compared to SiO2NPs. The application of K2SiO3 and SiO2NPs may be one of the proposed approaches to improve crop growth and productivity to tolerate climatic change.
