Two-dimensional (2-D) gels of the differentially expressed protein spots in the roots and leaves of barley genotypes CM72 and XZ16. Fig. S2. Gel spots of the proteins up-expressed in roots and leaves of XZ16. Table S1. The normalized spot volume of protein spots in roots of barley genotypes CM72 and XZ16 under normal and salinity condition. Table S2. The normalized spot volume of protein spots in leaves of barley genotypes CM72 and XZ16 under normal and salinity condition. Figure S1. Two-dimensional (2-D) gels of the differentially expressed protein spots in the roots and leaves of barley genotypes CM72 and XZ16. The numbers in black show the differentially expressed protein spots in XZ16 and the numbers in green indicate spots for CM72. D and U the numbers indicates down- or up- regulated protein spots, respectively. Figure S2. Gel spots of the proteins up-expressed in the roots (a) and leaves (b) of XZ16. (a), BU1: succinyl-CoA ligase; BU2: H+-ATPase (subunit alpha); BU3: Monodehydroascorbate reductase; BU4: Putative class III peroxidase; BU5: Putative class III peroxidase; BU6: Putative class III peroxidase; BU9: Pathogenesis related protein 10. (b), BU1: Harpin binding protein 1; BU2: an uncharacterized protein. (c), Trans-membrane (TM) region of class III peroxidase (BU4). Posterior probabilities of sequence were tested using TMHMM Server v. 2.0 and the helical wheel diagram of sequence was predicted using SOSUI software. Table S1.

The significance of normalized spot volume of protein spots were analyzed using SAS software (http://www.sas.com/software/sas9/) by a paired t-test. Statistical difference at P <0.05 and P <0.01 is considered as significant and highly significant, respectively. HS, S and NS indicate highly significant (P<0.01), significant (P<0.05) and no significant difference, respectively. Table S2.
