- Intervention effect Under salinity, a lower R:FR value significantly increased growth, proline content and chlorophyll content of tomato seedlings compared with a higher R:FR value.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, a lower R:FR value decreased malondialdehyde in tomato seedlings compared with a higher R:FR value.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, the lower R:FR value decreased superoxide anion generation in tomato seedlings.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, the lower R:FR value decreased hydrogen peroxide generation in tomato seedlings.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, the lower R:FR value increased superoxide dismutase activity in tomato seedlings.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, the lower R:FR value increased peroxidase and catalase activities in tomato seedlings.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, the lower R:FR value increased the actual quantum yield of photosynthesis in tomato seedlings compared with a higher R:FR value.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, the lower R:FR value increased electron transport rate in tomato seedlings compared with a higher R:FR value.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, the lower R:FR value increased photochemical quenching in tomato seedlings compared with a higher R:FR value.
- Intervention effect The salinity tolerance induced by a lower R:FR value disappeared in the tomato phyB1 mutant.
- Recommendation Growing tomato under a lower R:FR value could improve seedling salinity tolerance.
