Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Salt stress significantly decreased growth of tomato plants.
- Intervention effect Priming with EBL at 1 mg/l significantly lessened NaCl harm, particularly at 140 mM.
- Intervention effect EBL priming increased tomato fresh and dry weights by less than twofold versus salinity control.
- Intervention effect EBL priming increased tomato carotenoids twofold versus salinity control.
- Intervention effect EBL priming increased tomato free proline threefold versus salinity control.
- Intervention effect EBL priming reduced tomato electrolyte leakage by 18.6% versus salinity control.
- Intervention effect EBL priming reduced tomato root Na + /K + by 57.5% versus salinity control.
- Intervention effect EBL priming reduced tomato shoot Na + /K + by 62% versus salinity control.
- Mechanism The authors concluded that epibrassinolide priming enhanced tomato salt tolerance through proline and pigment increases and lower electrolyte leakage and Na + /K + ratio.
