The structure and ultrastructure of the second leaves of 10-d-old barley plants (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Alfa) was investigated after long-term treatment with salicylic acid (SA) in concentrations of 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mM. The treatment induced: 1) suppressed bulliform cells formation in the adaxial epidermis (1.0 mM SA); 2) reduction of apoplast in the mesophyll (0.5 and 1.0 mM SA); 3) formation of invaginations (0.1 and 0.5 mM SA) and proliferations (0.5 mM SA); and 4) thylakoid destruction and coagulation of the stroma (1.0 mM SA).

Keywords: barley; adaxial and abaxial epidermis; mesophyll; stroma; thylakoid; chloroplasts
Subjects: barley; chloroplast ultrastructure, salicylic acid; epidermis, adaxial, abaxial, salicylic acid; Hordeum vulgare; mesophyll structure, salicylic acid; salicylic acid, chloroplast, ultrastructure; stroma, chloroplast, salicylic acid
