Distinct Morpho-Physiological Responses of Maize to Salinity Stress

Most plants demonstrate wide interactive and complex adaptive morphological, biochemical, physiological responses when subjected to salinity stress. Salt stress negatively impacts agricultural yields more especially cultivated crops throughout the world. Of interest this study is maize a salt- sensitive crop that widely grown worldwide, receiving most attention due its significant attributes ability serve as great model for response studies. We exposed QN701 cultivar, simulated investigated morphological responses. Salinity induced various such reduction in plant height, number of leaves, shoot root (length biomass), leaf width; however, it significantly increased area. On aspect, salt decreased stomata, stomatal density, photosynthesis, while respiration rate. This expanded our knowledge Additionally, these findings may recommendation breeding programs related cereal crops.
