Mitigation of salinity-induced negative impact on the growth and yield of wheat by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in naturally saline conditions (2012, unknown): “The data on the effect of inoculation on the various growth and yield parameters of wheat were analyzed by applying a CRBD (Steel et al. 1997).”
Salinity-resistant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria ameliorates sodium chloride stress on tomato plants (2010, background): “At higher salinity, the expansion rate of the leaf area reduces together with a decrease in leaf production rate and in leaf size leading to the death of the plant (Suarez and Medina 2005).”
Mangroves: obligate or facultative halophytes? A review (2011, background): “The absence of NaCl initially accelerated the development of Avicennia marina, but shoot growth and biomass production soon slowed Table 1 Summary of selected laboratory culture experiments on the effects of salinity on the growth of mangroves Species Material Culture time Optimum growth salinity (p”
Ecology of Leaf Longevity (2011, background): “The leaf half-life of Avicennia germinans is 160 days in a Venezuelan mangrove swamp (Suarez 2003), but under experimental conditions in the absence of salt the half-life rises to 425 days, dropping to 195 days at 170 mol m NaCl and to 75 days at 940 mol m NaCl (Suarez and Medina 2005).”
