“…The obtained results from the present study is similar to studies on different plants such as potato (Heuer and Nadler, 1995); tomato (Lopez and Satti, 1996); pumpkin (Kurum et al, 2013); R. sativus L. (Jamil et al, 2007).…”

“…However, the root fresh weight decreased (57%) significantly (P=0.018) in S2 compared to controls. A decrease in root fresh weights have been recorded in various plants grown under salinity such as wheat and barley (Adiyaman, 2005); tomato (Lopez and Satti, 1996); Pumpkin (Kurum et al, 2013). The present study revealed that for mung bean seedlings grown with salt and HA together (S1HA and S2HA), RFW increased in both HA treatments, with a 40% and 43.4% increase in S1HA and S2HA, respectively, however, these differences were not significant.…”

“…Reduction in shoot or stem fresh and dry weights as a result of salinity had been reported for different plant species (Adams, 1988;Ashraf and McNeilly, 1990;Mishra et al, 1991;Zaidi and Singh, 1993;Satti and AlYahyai, 1995;Ashraf and O'leary, 1997;Leidi and Saiz, 1997;Caines and Shennan 1999;Ashraf et al, 2001;Kaya et al, 2001;Cakir, 2004;Jamil et al, 2007;Turkmen et al, 2008;Tuncturk et al, 2008;Qados, 2011;Kurum et al, 2013). For plants treated with HA, both fresh and dry weights of shoots were higher in HA1 and HA2 than plants grown only in NaCl (S1, S2), and the increase in fresh weights were 20.6% in S1HA and 35.8% in S2HA.…”

“…Yermiyahu et al (1997) stated that Na had an antagonistic effect on the uptake of Ca and Mg by reason of displacement of those elements by Na in roots. On the other hand, according to Kurum et al (2013) NaCl caused Na, K and Ca increases in pumpkin varieties exposed to salt stress.…”

“…HA treatment caused a significant increase in root length compared with S1 and S2, by 51.9 and 42.9% in S1HA and S2HA, respectively. Available reports stated that various salts caused a decrease in germination rate, root and shoot length in Pisum sativum var., abyssinicum and Lathyrus sativus (Tsegay and Gebreslassie, 2014), reduction of root length in tomato plants (Turkmen et al, 2002), root development inhibition in Arabidopsis and tobacco (Jang et al, 2007), and decrease in root length of pumpkin (Kurum et al, 2013); Raphanus sativus L.

The study aimed to determine the effects of humic acid (HA) on seedlings of a salt-sensitive plant, mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek), grown on 50 mM (S1) and 100 mM (S2) NaCl concentrations. In controlled room conditions, mung bean seedlings were planted in pots containing torf and perlite mixture and salt effects were observed. The growth parameters were plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, leaf and stem fresh and dry weights in which all parameters significantly decreased at both salt levels. Nutrient analyses of Na, K and Ca were conducted by flame photometry (FP), and Mg, Mn, Zn were tested by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), for the above and below ground parts of mung bean seedlings. Both salt treatments increased Na content significantly, however 10 ml addition of HA to those samples (S1HA and S2HA; 50 mM NaCl and 100 mM NaCl, respectively) caused reductions in Na contents of the above-ground parts of mung bean compared to plants watered with only Hoagland-Arnon solutions (HO). On the other hand, in the roots of mung bean seedlings, Na content rose significantly in S2 compared with control, but the amount of Na in S2HA significantly increased compared with S2 treated plants. K content was significantly decreased in both salt concentrations, while SHA1 and SHA2 caused slight increases in both above and underground parts of seedlings. In the experiment, SHA2 increased the content of K, Mg, Ca, Mn and Zn in the root of mung bean seedlings compared with both S1 and S2 treatments.
