Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Without salinity stress, calcium application did not significantly change root growth or cell wall constituents in soybean.
- Intervention effect Calcium application ameliorated the salt-induced decrease in cell wall amount, especially the pectin fraction, in soybean.
- Intervention effect Additional Ca2+ significantly increased cell wall, cellular Ca2+ and K+ contents in soybean under saline conditions.
- Intervention effect Calcium application significantly increased the pectin level in soybean under salinity.
- Mechanism Maintained pectin level and increased cell wall Ca2+ may contribute to restoration of soybean root growth under salinity.
- Mechanism Calcium may ameliorate salt toxicity in soybean by maintaining cell wall composition.
- Association The ameliorative effect of calcium was more pronounced in the salt-tolerant soybean cultivar Dare than in the salt-sensitive cultivar Touzan 69.
