EFFECT OF SALINITY ON GROWTH AND CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF Moringa oleifera LAM.

Abstract: Moringa oleifera, Lam., commonly named horseradish or drumstick tree, is cultivated for multiple purposes because all its parts including seeds, stems, shoots, leaves, flowers, fruits and roots are useful. The objective of this study was to evaluate salt tolerance of Moringa oleifera during its early growth stage. A pot experiment was conducted in the greenhouse during two successive seasons 2005/2006 and 2006/2007; at the Nubaria Research and Production Station. Equal amounts of sodium chloride and calcium c… Show more

“…Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) is cultivated for multiple purposes because all its parts including seeds, stems, shoots, leaves, flowers, fruits and roots are useful [7]. Leaves with high protein and seeds contain 30 to 40% oil that is high in oleic acid, while degreased meal is 61% protein [8].…”

“…Tryptophan is an α-amino acid and contains an α-amino group, an α-carboxylic acid group, and side chains, making it a very important amino acid [11]. Tryptophan is one of the essential amino acids required for plant growth since it is involved in the biosynthesis of the natural auxins indole acetic acid (IAA) that have an impact on plant growth, yield, and chemical compound content [12,13]. Foliar application of tryptophan has been shown to improve the vegetative growth and chemical content of Pelargonium graveolens L. [14], Philodendron erubescens plants [15], Gladiolus plants [16,17], wheat plants (Triticum aestivum) [18], Lupine (Lupines termis L.) plants [19] and Moringa oleifera seedlings [20].…”
