In current investigations, a pot experiment consisting of four different levels of SA (0, 1, 2 and 3 mM SA) were tested on growth and physiological attributes of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.), grown at different salinity levels (0, 50, 100 mM NaCl). Results revealed that all the morphological and physiological attributes were significantly (P<0.05) adversely affected by salinity stress, whereas application of SA improved growth rate of muskmelon both in saline and non-saline conditions. SA treated plants showed higher total chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate and stomatal regulations as compared to control plants. SA application reduced the salt deleterious effects by inhibiting toxic Na+ ions accumulation in leaf and increased K+/Na+ ratio. Among the various applied concentrations, 2 mM SA increased shoot fresh weight by (30%), dry weight (34%), leaf area (25%) and K+/Na+ ratio by (84%) as compared to control plants. Thus, 2 mM SA concentration is concluded to be the best ameliorative treatment in salt stressed environments to enhance the muskmelon production. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":327367,"journal":{"name":"Biological Sciences - PJSIR","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130866822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the contrary, calcium (Ca), potassium (K) and lead (Pb) contents were maximum in P5, while minimum were in P3.

The physical properties such as gel temperature, melting temperature, density, viscosity and gel strength showed large variations. Interestingly, the gel temperature, melting temperature, density, and gel strength had the highest value in G. corticata samples collected, while gel viscosity recorded the highest value in G. dentata samples. Intensive spectroscopic FTIR analysis was determined in all three species of G. corticata, G. dentata and G. longissima.

Moomal, Mehran, Imdad-05, Anmol- 91, Benazir, TJ-83, SKD-1, TD-1, Abadgar and Hamal at the Experimental Field, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam. The experiment was laid-out in a randomized complete block design (factorial arrangement) with three replications during Rabi season, 2016-17 in order to assess the response of wheat genotypes to terminal heat stress tolerance. Wheat genotypes were evaluated in two sowing dates viz., on 24th November as a normal planting and late planting on 31th December, 2016 considered as heat stress condition. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes under both sowing dates indicating suitability of the experiment to improve bread wheat genotypes for heat tolerance. Reductions in various traits were observed in late planting which indicated visible effects of heat stress on agro-economic traits. On an average plant height (cm), tillers/plant, spike length (cm), spikelets/spike, grains/spike, 1000-grain weight (g) and grain yield/plant (g) were declined by -4.63, -2.49, -3.04, -4.35, -16.29, -14.08 and -9.09 units respectively under the heat stress conditions, while the wheat genotypes like TJ-83, SKD-1 and Mehran showed minimum reductions under heat stress conditions for various traits suggesting their heat tolerance, nonetheless cultivars Moomal and Benazir expressed maximum declines under heat stress expressing their susceptibility to heat stress conditions.
