The Effects of Salicylic Acid on Some of Biochemical and Morphological Characteristic of Ocimum Basilicucm under Salinity Stress

Abstract

In this study, we investigated the role of salicylic acid pretreatment (0.01, 0.1mM) in inducing salt tolerance in sweet basil. In Ocimum basilicum germination percentage, length of shoot, fresh and dry weight, photosynthetic pigments and K + concentration were decreased in response to high salinity,in this species, high salinity increased the level of Na + , lipid peroxidation, coefficient
