Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Salt stress significantly decreased relative water content and chlorophyll content of wheat.
- Intervention effect Malondialdehyde and H2O2 levels increased in wheat in response to salt stress.
- Intervention effect Ascorbate and glutathione levels were reduced in wheat by salt stress.
- Intervention effect Glutathione disulfide concentrations surged in wheat as salinity levels grew.
- Intervention effect Ascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase and dehydroascorbate reductase activities dramatically decreased in wheat under salt stress.
- Intervention effect Catalase activity generally decreased in wheat in response to salt stress.
- Intervention effect Catalase activity increased in wheat only at 100 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Glutathione S-transferase and glutathione reductase activities significantly increased in wheat during severe salt stress (200 mM).
- Intervention effect Peroxidase activity in wheat decreased as salinity increased.
- Intervention effect Salt stress at harvest reduced the grain and straw yield of both wheat varieties.
- Intervention effect Exogenous silicon improved the physiological characteristics of wheat under salinity stress.
- Intervention effect Exogenous silicon decreased oxidative damage in wheat under salinity stress.
- Intervention effect Exogenous silicon increased the yield of both wheat cultivars under salinity stress.
- Observation Wheat cultivar BARI Gom 25 showed higher salt resistance than BARI Gom 21.
