Effects of salinity and ozone, individually and in combination. On the growth and ion contents of two chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

摘要

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of ozone and salinity, singly and in combination, on the growth and ion con- tents of two chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) varieties. Chickpea plants were grown in non-saline and saline conditions, with and without a repeated exposure to ozone. Salinity at a concentration of 30 mM NaCl caused a substantial reduction in plant height. Number of leaves and the dry weights of the leaves, stems and roots. Biomass allocation to the leaves increased, predominantly at The expense of the roots.
