Overview

This experiment reveals changes in leaf area and phenological development in lettuce under two salinity levels, suggesting soil can alleviate salinity stress.

Key Points

  • To assess physiological parameters and early growth of lettuce under various salinity levels.
  • Conducted in a growth chamber with germination pots and soil
  • Tested three treatments: a control and two salinity levels (50 mM and 100 mM NaCl)
  • Assessed germination rate, germination capacity, and phenological development (BBCH scale)
  • Higher germination rate observed at 100 mM NaCl (55% in pots and 40% in soil)
  • Relative chlorophyll content and stomatal features decreased with increased salinity
  • Leaf area was greatest in the control, followed by 100 mM NaCl treatment
