Effects of Salicylic Acid on Triticale under Salt Stress

: The goal of this study was to determine the effect of salicylic acid (50 µM) on triticale grown under salt stress. In this study, we investigated shoot and root lengths, malondialdehyde, proline, ion leakage, relative water content, chlorophyll content. The results indicated that salicylic acid is quite effective to deal with salt stress. Anatomically shoot (3%) and root lengths (4%), as well as relative water content (12%) and chlorophyll content (9%), were increased by salicylic acid under salt toxicity by comparison to merely the salt application. Moreover, according to the only salt stressed plant, malondialdehyde, proline, and ion leakage were decreased 7%, 26%, 23% respectively by the application of salicylic acid in shoot tissues under salt stress. Similarly, SA decreased malondialdehyde, proline and ion leakage in root tissues under salt stress. Overall our results indicated that salicylic acid can be used for agricultural production of triticale under salt stress. Effects of Salicylic Acid on Triticale under Salt Stress,
