Influence of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Stress Growth and insects identification of Rice (Oryza Sativa L.)

Abstract

Abiotic stress is a major issue all around the world, producing tremendous crop losses. To address this issue, a study was conducted to investigate the influence of sodium chloride (NaCl) stress on seed germination, plantlet development (root, shoot length, and fresh, dry weight), cell damage (cell membrane stability),  insects population and SDS-PAGE analysis of CO 47 rice cultivars. Salt stress was found to have a negative impact on seed germination and germination rate. The variety rice demonstrated an ongoing decline in root and shoot length from control to 100 mM Sodium chloride stress, but a significant drop in shoot and root length was seen at 150 mM saline stress. With increasing salt stress, root and shoot dry weight decreased gradually. Cell damage increased gradually from control to 150 mM salt concentration. SDS-PAGE study revealed no differences in the protein banding pattern of rice leaf proteins under salt stress and control.
