Salt stress and exogenous silicon influence physiological and anatomical features of in vitro-grown cape gooseberry

Abstract: Salt stress is one of several major abiotic stresses that affect plant growth and development, and there are many evidences that silicon can ameliorate the injuries caused by high salinity. This study presents the results of an assay concerning: (1) the effect of in vitro NaCl-induced salt stress in cape gooseberry plants and (2) the possible mitigating effect of silicon in saline conditions. For that, nodal segments were inoculated in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium under salinity (0.5 and 1.0% NaCl) with dif… Show more

“…In both seasons, the lowest values of leaves dry weight were obtained in the case of Giza 2 under 200 mM concentration which recorded 0.144 and 0.543g, respectively. These results are in line with those obtained by Carilloet al et al (2018)andRezende et al (2018) and they mentioned that, the depressive effect of salinity on plant growth may be due to the increase in the osmotic potential of the soil which caused in a reduction in the availability of water to the plant.…”

“…9-13). The total pigments, for example, decreased by about 8.22 and 13.0% at 200 & 300 mM NaCl respectively comparing to control, the same result was observed in cultivars of rice as well as cape goosebelly regenerated in vitro grown in presence of NaCl (Rezende et al, 2018). The decrease in chlorophyll contents in salt-stressed plants can be attributed to insufficiency of essential nutrients and inhibition of nutrients uptake (Srinieng, 2015).…”

“…Indeed, excessive salt concentrations in the root zone impedes the regulation of the net uptake of essential ions or harmful ions, and an imbalance in either of them causes a reductions in leaf chlorophyll concentration and photosynthetic efficiency [ 78 , 79 , 80 ]. Furthermore, overproduction of ROS, including H 2 O 2 , O 2 − , and OH as a result of salinity stress contributes to corrupted chlorophyll levels and pigment degradation, which is considered as an oxidative harm marker [ 20 , 81 , 82 , 83 ].…”
