Role of Cystoseira mediterranea extracts (Sauv.) in the Alleviation of salt stress adverse effect and enhancement of some Hordeum vulgare L. (barley) growth parameters

Abstract

Cystoseira mediterranea (Sauv.) extract was tested for its ability to restore barley (Hordeum vulgare) growth under salt stress (350 mM NaCl), shoot growth; membrane integrity; lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide determination were performed. In normal conditions, the obtained data revealed the ability of the extract to stimulate most of barley growth parameters. However, it showed significant effect on most of barley growth parameters (plant height, fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots) and chlorophyll content, under salt stress. The measurement of stress parameters (membrane integrity, lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide) revealed significant effect of C. mediterranea extract on reducing the deleterious impact of salt stress on barley seedlings.

“…Furthermore, both biotic and abiotic stress can induce multiple adverse impacts on plant growth across physiological, molecular, and biochemical, resulting in a significant loss of agricultural productivity (Evelin et al, 2019). In addition, the sensitivity to salt stress depends on the growth stage at which the stress is applied (Bensidhoum and Nabti 2021).…”

The effect of salinity stress on germination parameters in Satureja thymbra L. (Lamiaceae)

“…With the increasing population, the need for agricultural production also increases, it is inevitable that there will be an increase in the agricultural land allocated for food production, and it becomes necessary to produce even in unproductive lands. Today, only 37% of agriculture can be done due to problems such as drought, salinity and mineral deficiency (Bensidhoum & Nabti, 2021;Godoy et al, 2021;Leonardi et al, 2021;Turcios et al, 2021). Salinity is a major hazard in arid and semi-arid climatic regions and is an important limiting factor in global food production (Ahmed et al, 2020;Tolay, 2021).…”

“…Salinity is a major hazard in arid and semi-arid climatic regions and is an important limiting factor in global food production (Ahmed et al, 2020;Tolay, 2021). Desertification and high evaporation rate in arid and semiarid areas cause rapidly salinization of soil and water (Bensidhoum & Nabti, 2021). Today, it is stated that there is a significant decrease in crop yield due to soil salinization worldwide and approximately 1125 million hectares of land are adversely affected by salt (Asgari & Diyanat, 2021;Karle et al, 2021).…”
