Abstract:Salt stress is identified as a significant abiotic stress that hampers agricultural sustainability globally. The study was carried out to investigate the potential mitigating effects of selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) on salt stress in soybean. Two weeks old grown soybean seedlings were subjected to salt stress conditions (4000 mg L− 1 of sea salts). The plants were foliar sprayed with Se-NPs at concentrations of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg L− 1 twice. The first application was applied at four weeks from sowing a… Show more
