Counteraction of NaCl with NaH2PO4 and NaNO3 on pigment, saccharide and protein contents in broad bean

  • Published:
Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

Salinity inhibited growth, and affected the contents of chlorophylls, carotenoids, saccharides, amino acids, proteins, DNA and RNA in broad bean plants. Foliar application of NaH2PO4 and NaNO3 greatly ameliorated the adverse effects of NaCI. This counteraction was associated with an increase in contents of saccharides, proteins, DNA and RNA.
