Title Of Article :
The Effects of Ca Application on Some Stress Parameters Under Salinity Conditions in the Open Field Growing of Limonium sinuatum
Abstract :
Astudy was conducted to determine the effects of calcium on particular stress parameters (leaf relative water content, chlorophyll, carotenoid, proline and lipid peroxidase) of Limonium sinuatum grown in saline conditions. It was observed that the application of 30 mM calcium had positive effects on the salt stress responses of Limonium sinuatum when cultivated in saline soils. Calcium applications, under saline conditions, caused a slight increase in leaf relative water content or chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll values. While carotenoids and proline contents demonstrated a slight decrease in calcium applications under saline conditions, it is observed that MDA levels have shown mildly decreases. With respect to yield also the number of flowers, the length of flower stem and the thickness of flower stem were measured per harvested plant, where Ca applications under salt conditions increased flower stem length and thickness. The research improved that calcium apllication reduced the negative effects of saline conditions
