: The response of two local maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes designated as Sahwal-2002 (salt-tolerant) and Sadaf (salt-sensitive) to salt stress was investigated under controlled growth conditions. The role of phenylalanine and seed priming under salt stress in maize with different morphological parameters were studied. The genotype Sadaf, being salt-tolerant, experienced more oxidative damage than the Sahiwall-2002 genotype under salt stress. The salinity affected both growth and physiological attributes of the maize species whereas the phenylalanine successfully increased the salinity tolerance in maize species at the seedling stage.

• Effect of Salinity Stress on Physiological Changes in Winter and Spring Wheat (2021, background): “The reduction in winter wheat might have been due to lower root water potential and the transport of plant hormone ABA from the root into different plant organs, thereby inducing stomatal closure [55].”
