Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect 50 mM glycine betaine gave the highest germination percentage (75.83%) in durum wheat.
- Intervention effect 50 mM glycine betaine gave the highest vigor index (434.45) in durum wheat.
- Intervention effect 50 mM glycine betaine gave the highest shoot length (4.45 cm) in durum wheat.
- Intervention effect Foliar silicon improved the physiological performance of the studied durum wheat varieties.
- Intervention effect The highest relative water content (57.31%) was recorded with silicon application in durum wheat.
- Intervention effect The highest leaf area (31.56 cm2) was recorded with silicon application in durum wheat.
- Recommendation Seed priming with glycine betaine and foliar silicon could be new approaches to alleviate adverse effects of water deficit stress in durum wheat.
