Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Higher constitutive concentrations of osmolytes and antioxidant molecules were associated with improved basil adaptation to saline environment.
- Intervention effect Purple Ruffles basil remained unaffected by the toxic effects of NaCl salt stress.
- Mechanism The unaffected response of Purple Ruffles basil to salt is likely explained by an already active ROS scavenging mechanism and unaltered NUE.
- Intervention effect Italiano Classico basil lost fresh yield under NaCl salt stress, a reduction of 46.34%.
- Intervention effect Dark Opal basil lost fresh yield under NaCl salt stress, a reduction of 33.33%.
- Mechanism Up-regulation of secondary metabolism is proposed to explain the higher fresh yield after biostimulant treatment in basil.
