Hydrogen peroxide priming has emerged as a powerful strategy to trigger multiple responses involved in plant acclimation that reinforce tolerance to abiotic stresses, including salt stress. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the impact of foliar H2O2 priming on the physiological, biochemical, and ultrastructural traits related to photosynthesis of salt-stressed plants. Besides, we provided comparative leaf m...
Salinity is one of the major limiting factors crop productivity, it restricts plant growth and development, affecting almost all physiological, morphological, biochemical and molecular characteristics of plants. Thus, acclimation to salt stress is essential for survival and reproduction under this adverse condition. The use of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) foliar pretreatment at low concentrations can attenuate the ...
The search for cultivars/genotypes with high ability to grow in saline soils has been intensified in recent years. In addition to genetic engineering studies, selection of species with higher salt tolerance becomes essential for cultivation of plants in saline environments. In this study, two sunflower genotypes (Helianthus annuus L.) were grown in nutrient solution in the absence (control) and presence of 100 ...
