Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Salt reduced shoot growth and shoot and root fresh weight.
- Intervention effect Salt reduced SOD, CAT, and APX activities.
- Intervention effect Salt increased electrolyte leakage, lipid peroxidation, and proline content.
- Intervention effect GB reduced electrolyte leakage, lipid peroxidation, and proline content in salt-stressed plants.
- Intervention effect GB raised shoot growth rate, water content, and relative transpiration under salt stress.
- Intervention effect GB raised chlorophyll content and SOD, CAT, and APX activity under salt stress.
- Intervention effect Salt raised Na content and the Na/K ratio.
- Intervention effect Salt decreased K content.
- Intervention effect Under saline conditions, 20 m m GB suppressed Na accumulation.
- Intervention effect Under saline conditions, 20 m m GB significantly increased shoot K content.
- Intervention effect Under saline conditions, GB raised the K/Na ratio.
- Mechanism The authors attribute GB-enhanced salt tolerance mainly to antioxidant activity, less membrane damage, and improved ion balance.
