Title
Impact of saline water stress on nutrient uptake and growth of cowpea
Prakash R. Patel; Sushil S. Kajal; Vinay R. Patel; et al. Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology 2010. doi:10.1590/s1677-04202010000100005
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Salinity from 2 to 10 dS m−1 strongly affected germination percentage in all three cowpea cultivars.
- Intervention effect At 10 dS m−1 EC, salt stress significantly reduced plant height in all three cowpea cultivars.
- Intervention effect At 10 dS m−1 EC, salt stress significantly reduced root length in all three cowpea cultivars.
- Intervention effect Salinity significantly increased leaf Na+, Cl− and proline concentrations in all cowpea cultivars.
- Observation Cultivar tolerance differences were clearer at the lowest salt stress levels in K+/Na+ ratio and proline content.
- Observation Akshay102 was identified as the most salt-tolerant cowpea cultivar.
- Recommendation The authors identify germination capacity, K+/Na+ ratio and proline accumulation as selection features for salt-tolerant cultivars.
