Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Growth parameters in sorghum leaves and roots were not affected by salinity.
- Intervention effect Biochemical parameters generally increased in sorghum roots and leaves with increasing salinity up to 150 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Antioxidative enzyme activities generally increased in sorghum roots and leaves as salinity increased up to 150 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Glutamine synthetase activity increased in sorghum leaves and roots.
- Intervention effect Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity increased significantly in sorghum leaves at 50 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity increased in sorghum roots only at 50 and 100 mM NaCl.
- Mechanism The authors suggest sorghum has a protective response to salt oxidative damage involving antioxidant enzymes, GS, PEPC, organic solutes, and chlorophyll.
