Effect of Foliar Application with Salicylic Acid on Some Morphological and Physiological Characteristics of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Under Drought Stress

Abstract

Abstract Drought is an important factor that could restrict plants growth and productivity through several biological and physiological processes. Salicylic acid (SA) has a key role in many physiological processes of plants and stimulate specific responses against various stresses biotic and abiotic, in some of plants. In order to evaluate the effect of foliar application by salicylic acid (SA) under drought stress on some morphological characteristics sesame, a split-plot experiment with a completely random d…
