Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Germination percentage varied with salinity level, cultivar, and their interaction.
- Association Mean germination time differed across treatment media and cultivars, with a significant interaction.
- Observation Chandler was classified as the most salt-tolerant cultivar.
- Observation Hartley, Pedro, and Round de Montignac were classified as semisensitive.
- Observation Vina, Serr, and Lara were classified as sensitive cultivars.
- Association Resistant cultivars accumulated more potassium and calcium with increasing salt stress, particularly in shoots.
- Association Semitolerant cultivars accumulated more potassium in roots than shoots.
- Association Magnesium accumulation differed significantly between roots and shoots across stress levels and genotypes.
- Association Sodium levels were higher in roots than shoots in most cultivars, especially semisensitive and tolerant ones.
- Association Walnut seed weight and kernel weight had low correlation with growth indices for salinity tolerance.
