Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Salinity significantly decreased root and shoot weights.
- Intervention effect Foliar nano-Zn improved root and shoot weights up to 50 mg nano-Zn L−1 under salinity.
- Intervention effect At concentrations above 50 mg nano-Zn L−1, root and shoot weights were significantly reduced.
- Intervention effect Foliar nano-Zn improved shoot and root lengths and leaf area index.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, sprayed wheat had higher root and shoot weights than unsprayed wheat under non-saline conditions.
- Intervention effect Foliar nano-Zn significantly reduced plant pigments.
- Intervention effect Foliar nano-Zn enhanced total soluble sugars and proline formation.
- Intervention effect Foliar nano-Zn significantly raised Ca content in wheat roots and shoots.
- Intervention effect Foliar nano-Zn raised K contents to some extent.
- Mechanism The authors attribute increased wheat growth under salt stress to osmolyte formation and nutrient uptake.
