Other claims from this paper (17)
- Observation Azolla extract contained γ-aminobutyric acid and benzenedicarboxylic acid.
- Intervention effect Salt stress reduced seedling N, P, Ca, K and K/Na ratio.
- Intervention effect Salt stress increased seedling Mg and Na.
- Intervention effect Salinity decreased TAC, DPPH activity and AsA levels.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased GB in seedlings.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased flavonoids, saponins and anthocyanins.
- Intervention effect Salinity nonsignificantly decreased phenols.
- Intervention effect Salinity upregulated DRF1, CBF3 and HQT.
- Intervention effect Salinity upregulated CHS and FLS.
- Intervention effect Salinity downregulated CBF4 and CHI.
- Intervention effect Azolla extract alone mitigated Na accumulation by 31.50% versus salt stressed seedlings.
- Intervention effect Azolla extract with salt mitigated Na accumulation by 32.87% versus salt stressed seedlings.
- Intervention effect Azolla extract improved N and P levels in seedlings.
- Intervention effect Azolla extract alleviated Mg, K/Na and GB imbalances.
- Intervention effect Azolla extract enhanced antioxidant potentials.
- Intervention effect Combined Azolla extract and salt restored antioxidant potentials.
- Recommendation Authors propose Azolla extract to sustain wheat metabolism and gene expression in saline soils.
