Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced tomato seedling growth, height, leaf area, shoot fresh weight, and potassium, calcium, iron and zinc concentrations.
- Intervention effect At 100 mM NaCl, leaf SPAD, root fresh and dry weights, and leaf sodium, proline and soluble sugar concentrations increased.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid, especially foliar pretreatment, improved tomato growth and traits reduced by salinity.
- Intervention effect SA, especially foliar pretreatment, increased root weights and leaf proline and soluble sugars relative to salinity alone.
- Intervention effect Root or leaf SA pretreatment increased leaf Ca under salinity.
- Observation Leaf pretreatment was the most effective SA application method for restoring tomato growth under salinity, followed by root pretreatment and leaf treatment.
