The counteraction of exogenous L-proline at different concentrations with salinity (100 mM NaCI at sublethal concentration) were observed on germinating rice. Supplemented 30 mM L-proline was shown to be the most effective; at higher cgncentration it reduced seedling growth and K+/Na + ratio. Thus 30 mM L-proline can alleviate the salinity stress in rice seedlings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
