- Intervention effect Salt stress significantly suppressed chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Salt stress significantly suppressed leaf relative water content and chlorophyll reading value in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Salinity caused a decrease in macro- and micronutrients in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased electrolyte leakage, hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased proline contents in chickpea.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities in chickpea.
- Intervention effect MT treatments increased plant fresh weight, plant dry weight and root fresh weight of chickpea seedlings under salt stress compared with non-MT treatment.
- Intervention effect MT treatments increased root dry weight, plant height and stem diameter of chickpea seedlings under salt stress compared with non-MT treatment.
- Intervention effect MT treatments increased chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll of chickpea seedlings under salt stress compared with non-MT treatment.
- Intervention effect MT treatments increased leaf relative water content and chlorophyll reading value of chickpea seedlings under salt stress compared with non-MT treatment.
- Intervention effect MT treatments increased total carotene of chickpea seedlings under salt stress compared with non-MT treatment.
- Intervention effect 100 µM MT treatment reduced H2O2 and MDA contents in chickpea under salinity compared with non-MT-treated plants.
- Intervention effect Exogenous MT increased the K+/Na+ and Ca+2/Na+ ratios in chickpea under salt stress.
- Recommendation The authors suggest 100 µM MT treatment for decreasing the negative influence of salinity on chickpea seedlings.
