Differential responses of esterase isoenzyme of peanut to salinity and drought as influenced by salicylic acid
The effect of salinity, drought and salicylic acid on growth and esterase expression of peanut plants were studied. Seeds of peanut were able to germinate even under relatively high concentration of NaCl (157.5 mM) or PEG (25%). In general, seedling growth was less tolerant to salt stress than vegetative growth stage of peanut plants grown in hydroponic culture containing NaCl, ... Read more
