- Intervention effect Salt stress reduced relative water content and leaf surface area of wheat seedlings.
- Intervention effect Salt stress reduced ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase expression and chlorophyll content of wheat seedlings.
- Intervention effect Salt stress increased osmo-regulator protein, carbohydrates and proline in wheat seedlings.
- Intervention effect Salt stress elevated Na(+) content of wheat leaves compared with control.
- Intervention effect Salt stress reduced Ca content and the K(+)/Na(+) ratio in wheat leaves.
- Intervention effect Under saline conditions, antioxidant enzyme activity increased despite the lower ascorbate and glutathione levels.
- Intervention effect Under saline conditions, reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde were higher than in control seedlings.
- Intervention effect Lipoic acid promoted osmo-regulator level and antioxidant enzyme activities in salt-stressed wheat seedlings compared with stressed seedlings alone.
- Intervention effect Lipoic acid increased ascorbate and glutathione levels in wheat seedlings.
- Intervention effect Lipoic acid prevented excessive accumulation of Na(+) in wheat seedlings.
