Volume 7, Issue 1 , March 2020, , Pages 37-50

https://doi.org/10.22059/ijhst.2020.288551.318

Abstract
  In the present study, improvement of salt tolerance in basil (as a salt-sensitive plant) was investigated through silicon (Si) nutrition. Basil plants were subjected to silicon (0, 3 mM) and salinity (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl) for a duration of one month. Salt stress significantly decreased the ...  Read More
