Salicylic acid improved the heat tolerance by enhancing growth, gas exchange attributes and chlorophyll contents of tomato

Alleviating Effects of Foliar Spray of Salicylic Acid on Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Genotypes Under Wáter Deficient Conditions

“…Among the phytohormones salicylic acid (SA) a naturally existing phenolic compound, has been increasingly recognized for improving plant abiotic stress tolerance via control of major plant metabolic processes, plant growth development, ripening and flowering (Erdei et al, 1996;Nazar et al, 2011;El-Esaw et al, 2017). The beneficial role of SA against abiotic stress has been mentioned in many earlier studies e.g., tolerance to high temperature stress in mustard, tolerance against chilling in maize and wheat, heavy metal tolerance in barley, salinity tolerance in mung bean and wheat, drought tolerance in wheat plants (Janda et al, 1999, Shaheen et al, 2018). This present study was therefore carried out to investigate the possible role of SA to induce water stress tolerance in rice.…”
