Other claims from this paper (16)
- Intervention effect Kinetin and ACC relieved salt stress on lettuce seed germination.
- Intervention effect KIN increased pregermination ethylene production under saline conditions.
- Intervention effect KIN and 10 millimolar ACC synergistically or additively enhanced ethylene production and germination in saline conditions.
- Observation No KIN-ACC synergism was observed under nonsaline conditions.
- Intervention effect AVG inhibited KIN-enhanced pregermination ethylene production by 85 to 89% under saline conditions.
- Intervention effect AVG inhibited KIN-enhanced germination by 58% under saline conditions.
- Intervention effect AVG did not inhibit the KIN plus ACC synergistic effect on ethylene production.
- Intervention effect AVG had no effect on nonsaline germination despite strong inhibition of ethylene production.
- Intervention effect AVG strongly inhibited ethylene production under nonsaline conditions.
- Intervention effect NBD competitively inhibited the relief of salt stress by KIN.
- Intervention effect ACC and/or ethylene reduced NBD inhibition of KIN stress alleviation.
- Intervention effect Cotylenin E increased pregermination ethylene production and germination under saline conditions.
- Intervention effect AVG did not prevent salt stress relief by cotylenin E.
- Intervention effect NBD did not prevent salt stress relief by cotylenin E.
- Mechanism The authors propose that KIN relieves salt stress by promoting ACC production and conversion to ethylene.
- Mechanism Cotylenin E treatment circumvents the need for ethylene production and action in salt stress relief.
