Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect 100 mM NaCl reduced tomato plant growth.
- Intervention effect 100 mM NaCl reduced total chlorophyll and carotenoid contents in tomato.
- Intervention effect Salt stress increased tomato Na+ accumulation.
- Intervention effect Salt stress decreased tomato K+ and Ca2 + concentrations.
- Intervention effect Salt stress decreased tomato root sugar level.
- Intervention effect Salt stress increased tomato malondialdehyde and proline concentrations.
- Association The harmful salinity effect was associated with ion content rather than plant water status.
- Intervention effect Calcium alone improved tomato behavior under NaCl.
- Intervention effect Combined SA and Ca gave the best tomato growth under salinity.
- Intervention effect Combined SA and Ca gave the best photosynthetic pigment concentrations.
- Intervention effect Combined SA and Ca limited tomato Na+ accumulation.
- Intervention effect Combined SA and Ca maintained tomato K+ and Ca2 + content.
- Observation The physiological response parameters varied by tomato cultivar.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that Ca2 + and SA interact to reduce tomato salt stress.
