Defensive Impact of Foliar Applied Potassium Nitrate on Growth Linked with Improved Physiological and Antioxidative Activities in Sunflower Helianthus annuus L. Hybrids Grown under Salinity Stress
Original language description
Salt stress is recognized to negatively influence the fundamental processes in plants regarding growth and yield. The sunflower Helianthus annuus L. is considered an important industrial crop because of the good quality of oil it produces that can be used for cooking purposes. The exogenous application of potassium K has been reported to enhance abiotic resistance and increase yield in crops. Here, we explored the impact of foliarapplied K at 500 ppm on the physiological and biochemical traits, antioxidant activities, and growth attributes of sunflower grown under salt stress 140 mM NaCl. The findings indicated that salinity stress adversely affected photosynthesis and various gas exchange characteristics. Foliar applied K markedly improved the stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, water use efficiency, CO2 assimilation rate, total soluble proteins, chlorophyll pigments, and upregulated antioxidant system, which are responsible for the healthy growth of sunflower hybrids grown under salinity stre
