Influence of Exopolysaccharide-Producing
Bacteria and SiO2 Nanoparticles on Proline
Content and Antioxidant Enzyme Activities
of Tomato Seedlings (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
under Salinity Stress
Abstract:A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects regarding inoculation of exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing bacterium, the extracted EPS and silicon nanoparticles on Solanum lycopersicum L. seeds under salinity stress, in a completely randomized factorial design with three replicates. The inoculated seeds with silicon nanoparticles (8 gr L -1 ), bacterial EPS (0.01 M), and 1 mL of bacterial suspension (1×10 8 CFU mL -1 ) were sown in pots and irrigated with water at different salinity levels (0.3,… 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.
