To elucidate inter-specific similarity and difference of tolerance mechanism against salinity stress between wheat and barley, high tolerant wheat cv. Suntop and sensitive cv. Sunmate and tolerant barley cv. CM72 were hydroponically grown in a greenhouse with 100 mM NaCl. Glutathione, secondary metabolites, and genes associated with Na+ transport, defense, and detoxification were examined to discriminate the species/cultivar difference in response to salinity stress. Suntop and CM72 displayed damage to a lesser extent than in Sunmate. Compared to Sunmate, both Suntop and CM72 recorded lower electrolyte leakage and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, higher leaf relative water content, and higher activity of PAL (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase), CAD (cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase), PPO (polyphenol oxidase), SKDH (shikimate dehydrogenase), and more abundance of their mRNA under salinity stress. The expression of HKT1, HKT2 , salt overly sensitive (SOS)1, AKT1, and NHX1 was upregulated in CM72 and Suntop, while downregulated in Sunmate. The transcription factor WRKY 10 was significantly induced in Suntop but suppressed in CM72 and Sunmate. Higher oxidized glutathione (GSSG) content was accumulated in cv. CM72 and Sunmate, but increased glutathione (GSH) content and the ratio of GSH/GSSG were observed in leaves and roots of Suntop under salinity stress. In conclusion, glutathione homeostasis and upregulation of the Ta WRKY10 transcription factor played a more important role in wheat salt-tolerant cv. Suntop, which was different from barley cv. CM72 tolerance to salinity stress. This new finding could help in developing salinity tolerance in wheat and barley cultivars.
