e1“Maize seeds were pretreated with 200 mT of static magnetic field (SMF) for 1 h to assess the impact of SMF on the germination, seedling vigor, growth of plant, photosynthetic performance, ROS content, and yield under salt stress”
e6“Photosynthetic pigments, quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm), phenomenological fluxes such as electron transport per leaf CS (ETo/CSm) and density of reaction centers (RC/CSm), the performance index (PI) were high in the leaves of plants that emerged from SMF-pretreated seeds as compared to untreated seeds”

- Intervention effect Salt stress negatively influenced seedling characteristics of maize.
- Intervention effect Maize seeds pretreated with SMF showed higher germination percentage and germination stress tolerance index than untreated seeds in saline and nonsaline conditions.
- Intervention effect NaCl-induced salt stress had a detrimental effect on growth, yield and physiological characteristics of maize plants.
- Intervention effect SMF-pretreated seeds enhanced seedling vigor of maize compared with untreated seeds at different NaCl concentrations.
- Intervention effect SMF-pretreated seeds enhanced plant height and leaf area of maize compared with untreated seeds at different NaCl concentrations.
- Intervention effect SMF-pretreated seeds enhanced biomass accumulation of maize compared with untreated seeds at different NaCl concentrations.
- Intervention effect Quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) was high in leaves of maize plants from SMF-pretreated seeds compared with untreated seeds.
- Intervention effect The performance index (PI) was high in leaves of maize plants from SMF-pretreated seeds compared with untreated seeds.
- Intervention effect Phenomenological fluxes (ETo/CSm and RC/CSm) were high in leaves of maize plants from SMF-pretreated seeds compared with untreated seeds.
- Intervention effect The SMF stimulatory effect on seeds was revealed in increased rate of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance of maize.
- Intervention effect SMF treatment of seeds improved yield of maize plants under saline conditions.
- Intervention effect Leaves of plants from SMF-treated seeds had decreased H2O2 compared with untreated seeds in both conditions.
- Mechanism SMF ameliorates the adverse effect of salt stress in maize by reducing H2O2.
- Recommendation Magnetopriming with SMF of 200 mT for 1 h of dry maize seeds can be efficiently used as a presowing treatment for improving salt tolerance.
