Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity decreased dry weights of safflower aerial parts and roots, stem length, leaf area, and head dry weight.
- Intervention effect Higher salinity shifted safflower dry matter allocation toward stems and heads and away from roots and leaves.
- Intervention effect The safflower root/shoot ratio decreased significantly with increasing salinity.
- Intervention effect Higher salinity significantly decreased safflower root dry weight.
- Observation At 24 dS/m salinity, Goldasht safflower allocated more dry matter to shoots than to roots and leaves.
- Intervention effect Higher salinity reduced safflower chlorophyll content and SPAD index.
- Intervention effect Salinity above 16 dS/m significantly reduced safflower leaf area and plant height.
- Recommendation The authors recommend field evaluation of the observed salinity tolerance.
