Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Sorghum germination was unchanged below 100 nM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Sorghum germination was completely inhibited at 500 nM NaCl.
- Observation Amylase activity in treated sorghum seeds followed the germination pattern.
- Observation At least five amylase isozyme patterns occurred in germinating sorghum seeds.
- Association Amylase isozyme activities rose with longer imbibition in distilled water.
- Intervention effect At 100 nM NaCl, sorghum isozyme 2 activity decreased.
- Intervention effect At 100 nM NaCl, sorghum isozyme 5 activity decreased.
- Intervention effect At 100 nM NaCl, sorghum isozyme 1 activity increased.
- Observation Isozyme 1 was the most salinity tolerant amylase isozyme.
- Intervention effect At 500 nM NaCl, sorghum isozyme activities were completely inhibited.
- Mechanism The authors attribute salinity tolerance to compensation among amylase isozymes.
