- Intervention effect Luteolin strongly induced nod gene expression in Rhizobium meliloti.
- Intervention effect Luteolin and seed exudate increased alfalfa nodulation by 47% under salinity.
- Observation The treatments had a greater effect under normal conditions.
- Intervention effect The treatments had no significant effect on chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect Preincubation of R. meliloti did not differ significantly from the control.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased proline fourfold relative to normal conditions.
- Intervention effect Luteolin increased proline 1.66 times under salinity.
- Intervention effect seed exudates increased proline 1.35 times under salinity.
- Intervention effect Under normal conditions, luteolin and seed exudates had no significant effect on proline.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased sodium in leaves 7 times.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased sodium in roots 8.5 times.
- Intervention effect Salinity decreased potassium in leaves by 29%.
- Intervention effect Salinity decreased potassium in roots by 24%.
- Intervention effect Luteolin partially moderated salinity-related sodium and potassium changes.
- Intervention effect Seed exudate partially moderated salinity-related sodium and potassium changes.
- Recommendation The authors recommend flavonoid inducers primarily for improving nodulation.
- Recommendation The authors recommend direct agricultural use of flavonoid inducers only in specified cases where flavonoids limit the response.
