Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Salt stress inhibited chickpea height by 37.83% versus control.
- Intervention effect Salt stress inhibited chickpea total fresh weight by 72.19% versus control.
- Observation Salt-stressed chickpea accumulated more H 2 O 2, reaching 13.12 mg/g DW.
- Observation Salt-stressed chickpea had higher electrolyte leakage of 54.72%.
- Intervention effect Proline supplementation decreased salt-stress H 2 O 2 and electrolyte leakage.
- Intervention effect AMF supplementation decreased salt-stress H 2 O 2 and electrolyte leakage.
- Observation Total protein content was higher in salt-stressed treatments.
- Observation Antioxidant enzymes were higher in salt-stressed treatments.
- Intervention effect AMF inoculation increased leaf carbohydrates under stress by 23.44% compared with control.
- Intervention effect Proline increased leaf carbohydrates under stress by 19.43% compared with control.
- Intervention effect Salinity decreased upper and lower epidermal thickness.
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced leaf vessel numbers.
- Intervention effect Salinity degraded palisade and spongy parenchyma.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased chickpea Na +.
- Intervention effect Salinity decreased chickpea K +.
- Intervention effect Salinity lowered the K + /Na + ratio.
- Intervention effect AMF reduced Na + uptake, H 2 O 2 content and membrane leakage under salt stress.
- Intervention effect Proline reduced Na + uptake, H 2 O 2 content and membrane leakage under salt stress.
- Recommendation The authors propose AMF inoculation or proline to reverse salt damage and improve crop tolerance.
