t0“Proline enhances cowpea resilience to salinity”
e5“Furthermore, proline significantly ( P ≤ 0.05) reduced hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), by 47.2% while slightly decreasing total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), glutathione, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, under salinity”

Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Cowpea plants showed the highest salinity tolerance at 150 mM NaCl with 30 mM proline.
- Intervention effect Proline irrigation under salinity showed insignificant changes in plant biomass compared with water-irrigated plants.
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced average shoot height by 5.5% relative to water-irrigated plants.
- Intervention effect Salinity maintained fresh weight at about 100% of water-irrigated plants.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased dry weight by over 15.1% relative to water-irrigated plants.
- Intervention effect Proline application reduced average Na + content by 71.5% under salinity compared with salinity without proline.
- Mechanism Proline application helped maintain the Na+/K+ balance under salinity.
- Intervention effect Proline helped sustain relative water content by 40.4% under salinity.
- Intervention effect Proline did not significantly enhance endogenous proline accumulation or soluble sugar levels under salinity.
- Intervention effect Proline under salinity slightly decreased total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and glutathione.
- Intervention effect Proline under salinity slightly decreased superoxide dismutase activity.
- Mechanism Proline enhances cowpea resilience to salinity by maintaining water content, regulating ion homeostasis and mitigating hydrogen peroxide oxidative stress.
- Recommendation Proline-enriched organic fertilizers may alleviate soil salinity to support sustainable cowpea cultivation.
