Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Treatment of soybean with 250 mM NaCl alone significantly reduced germination percentage by 65% compared with control plants.
- Intervention effect 250 mM NaCl significantly decreased soybean root length, shoot height compared with control plants.
- Intervention effect 250 mM NaCl significantly decreased photosynthetic performance (Fv/Fm) of soybean compared with control plants.
- Intervention effect Under NaCl stress, malondialdehyde (MDA) and proline contents were highly increased in soybean relative to control plants.
- Intervention effect Under NaCl stress, activities of antioxidant enzymes (CAT, POX, SOD) were highly increased in soybean relative to control plants.
- Intervention effect Presoaking soybean seeds with ZnONPs improved growth parameters of salt-stressed plants compared with controls.
- Intervention effect Presoaking soybean seeds with ZnONPs improved photosynthetic performance of salt-stressed plants compared with controls.
- Intervention effect Presoaking soybean seeds with ZnONPs lowered proline and MDA levels in salt-stressed plants compared with controls.
- Observation Isozyme analysis of CAT, POX and SOD showed a variable pattern of alleles at 50 mg/L ZnONPs.
- Recommendation Application of 50 mg/L ZnONPs is recommended for improving the productivity of soybean cultivated in saline soils.
