How can salicylic acid and jasmonic acid mitigate salt toxicity in soybean plants
TL;DR: Salicylic acid treatment enriched the leaf cells with potassium and calcium ions under different levels of salt stress and increased glycine betaine, soluble sugars, proteins, antioxidant enzymes, leaf water content, membrane stability index, chlorophyll content and chlorophyLL stability index.

EFFECT OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC FERTILIZER ON YIELD AND CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT OF MAIZE (Zea mays (L.) AND SORGHUM Sorghum bicolour (L) Moench)
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of amending soil with organic (poultry manure) and inorganic fertilizer on yield and chlorophyll content of maize and sorghum was carried out at the Teaching and Research (TR was highest under control plots in both crops.

Proline metabolism during dehydration in two mulberry genotypes with contrasting drought tolerance.
S. Ramanjulu,Chinta Sudhakar +1 more
TL;DR: During water stress, proline metabolism was altered in mulberry and the eitent of alteration varied between the cultivars S13 and S54, leading to the greater levels of proline in S13, supporting its drought tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of organic and inorganic fertilizer on yield and chlorophyll content of maize ( Zea mays L.) and sorghum Sorghum bicolour (L.) Moench)
TL;DR: Drought tolerance measured as percentage chlorophyll stability index (CSI%) was highest under control plots in both crops and in both maize and sorghum, the lowest chlorophyLL content occurred in control plot.

Plant Physiological Responses to Water Stress
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that genotypic differences exist in plant responses to water stress and a practical technique for measuring desiccation and heat tolerance demonstrates that genetically controlled tolerance factors can be selected for and used in plant breeding programs.
