Rational approaches - salicylic acid for salinity stress tolerance in plant
Author(s): Radha Singh and SK Tripathi
Abstract: Salinity is a major menace for successful cultivation of agricultural crops causing inhibition and destruction of growth and development. High salinity affects plants in several ways viz; water stress, ion toxicity, nutritional disorders, oxidative stress and alteration of metabolic processes. Salinity reduces the agricultural productivity by hampering morpho-physiological and biochemical traits such as photosynthetic pigments, protein, proline, total soluble sugar and antioxidant enzymes activity. In view of mitigating salinity stress problem certain plant growth regulators were screened through exogenous applications on different crops. Out of them, one of the plant growth regulator salicylic acid (SA) has been found to have an effective role in salinity stress tolerance.
