The examination of Na-Ca effect on some qualitative and quantitative characters in durum wheat plants

The effect of salt stress (NaCI) on shoot height (cm), root length (cm), dry and fresh weight (g), chlorophyll a and b, total chlorophyll (mg super(-1)) and carotenoid amount was investigated in this study. In addition, the positive effects of Ca super(+2) (20 mM) were also investigated. Triticum du...

Description
Summary:The effect of salt stress (NaCI) on shoot height (cm), root length (cm), dry and fresh weight (g), chlorophyll a and b, total chlorophyll (mg super(-1)) and carotenoid amount was investigated in this study. In addition, the positive effects of Ca super(+2) (20 mM) were also investigated. Triticum durum Desf. Mirzabey, Kunduru-1149, and DH-6 and DH-8, derived from Kunduru-1149 using wide hybridization, were used as plant materials in this study. Arnon-Hoagland solution was used as food source for the plants and various NaCI concentrations (0, 50, 150 and 200 mM) and Ca super(+2) (as CaCl sub(2)) were added to Arnon-Hoagland solution. The research was completed at the end of the fifth week and the effect of NaCI on the root length of genotypes was found to be significant (P
