Other claims from this paper (16)
- Association Seeds with greater electrolyte leakage evolved significantly more ethylene.
- Intervention effect Priming with 0.2 to 0.3 mM SA increased germination rate by 33%.
- Intervention effect SA priming lowered ethylene evolution from 3.19 to 2.23–2.70 mg plate −1.
- Intervention effect Seed priming with 0.3 mM SA increased TSS to 15.0 mg g −1 FW.
- Intervention effect Seed priming with 0.3 mM SA increased SOD activity to 5.38 activity h −1 100 mg −1.
- Intervention effect Seed priming with 0.3 mM SA increased chlorophyll content to 102 ug g −1.
- Intervention effect Foliar SA increased LAI by 5–13%.
- Intervention effect Foliar SA increased photosynthesis by 4–27%.
- Intervention effect Foliar SA increased WUE by 11–57%.
- Intervention effect Foliar SA increased dry weight by 5–20%.
- Intervention effect Foliar SA increased SOD activity by 4–20%.
- Intervention effect Foliar SA increased fruit yield by 4–20%.
- Intervention effect Foliar SA significantly increased nutrient use efficiency.
- Intervention effect SA suppressed seed ethylene evolution by up to 30% under 60 mM NaCl.
- Mechanism Foliar SA was inferred to raise SOD and lower POD to improve nutrient use efficiency.
- Recommendation SA at 0.2 and 0.3 mM was judged most effective for mitigating salt stress.
