Abstract The mechanism of selenium (Se)-induced salt tolerance was studied in moderately sensitive soybean (Glycine
max L.) plants. To execute this view, soybean plants were imposed with salt stress (EC 6 dS m−1
) applying NaCl.
In other treatments, Se (0, 25, 50 and 75 µM Na2SeO4) was sprayed as co-application with that level of salt stress.
Plant height, stem diameter, leaf area, SPAD value decreased noticeably under salt stress. Altered proline (Pro)
level, together with decreased leaf relative water content (RWC) was observed in salt-affected plants. Salt stress
resulted in brutal oxidative damage and increased the content of H2O2, MDA… More >
