Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Salt stress adversely affected seed germination and early seedling establishment traits more in chickpea cultivar PG 186 than in CSG 8962.
- Intervention effect Sand matrix priming of seeds with SA at 150 ppm improved germination up to 2 times in the sensitive chickpea cultivar under 150 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect SA had a negative influence on the major antioxidant enzymes POX, CAT and GR in cotyledons of PG 186 under high salt stress.
- Observation The APX level was constitutively higher in the salt-tolerant chickpea genotype CSG 8962.
- Mechanism The authors conclude SA alleviates oxidative stress by reducing major AOE in cotyledon, improving chickpea seed germination.
