Morphological and biochemical changes in response to salinity in sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) cultivars

WOS: 000452800900006This study was conducted to evaluate the alterations of some morphological and biochemical parameters of sunflower cultivars ('08-TR-003', 'TR-3080' and TARSAN- I 018') under salt stress. For this aim, the seedling of sunflower cultivars was irrigated with tap water as a control, and with salinised water With 50, 150 and 250 mM NaC1 for 30 days under controlled conditions. Salinity caused an apparent reduction in morphological parameters (plant height, leaf area, fresh weight, dry matter and water content) in all cultivars. Salt stress significantly (P
