Abstract:The present research was taken out to assess the physiological, biochemical, and photosynthetic responses of the chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) to the combination of clay-bentonite and saline water in greenhouse conditions, at four concentrations of NaCl (0, 50, 100 and 200 mM). A substantial decrease in all the studied parameters (germination rate, root and stem length, fresh weight or dry weight, relative water content and chlorophyll content) was observed when salinity was increased. However, the application … Show more
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.
