| Experiment Title | Effect of saline water and melatonin application on growth, nutrient uptake and survival of mango seedling under salt stress regimes. | ||
| Research Type | Departmental Research | ||
| Experiment Background | Soil secondary salinization especially with saline irrigation water in one of the major abiotic factors limiting the growth of mango seedlings. Higher salinity stress results in ion toxicity, osmotic stress and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which leads to oxidative damage and programmed cell death. Salinity affects the photosynthesis, integrity of cellular membrane and the enzymatic activities of plant. To eliminate such losses, plants need to demonstrate the ROS-scavenging mechanism. Melatonin (MT) a recently found molecule acts as a plant growth regulator. Some studies have disclosed that MT also plays a role in regulating a photoperiod and plant circadian rhythm. It also plays a major role as a wide spread antioxidant agent which able to alleviate the effect of environmental stress such as drought, extreme temperature, heavy metal contamination and salinity etc. Mango rootstock is one the key factor across the plant propagation nurseries and agricultural institutions for the multiplication of different mango cultivars commercially. Higher salinity has contributed profoundly in the mortality of mango rootstocks largely which ultimately impacts the propagation cycle. Therefore, the recent study on effect of melatonin application on mango rootstock under different salt regimes is proposed. The result could bring a new insight into melatonin function in plant and provide guidance to facilitate quality mango rootstock production under such abiotic stress conditions. | ||
