Abstract

Climate change is aggravating soil salinity, causing huge crop losses around the globe. Multiple physiological and biochemical pathways determine the ability of plants to tolerate salt stress. A pot experiment was performed to understand the impact of proline levels, i.e., 0, 10, 20 mM on growth, biochemical and yield attributes of two pea ( Pisum sativum L.) cultivars (cv. L-888 and cv. Round) under salt stress (150 mM) along with control (0 mM; no stress). The pots were filled with river-washed sand; all the plants were irrigated with full-strength Hoagland’s nutrient solution and grown for two weeks before application of salt stress. Foliar spray of proline was applied to 46-day-old pea plants, once a week till harvest. Data for various growth and physio-biochemical attributes were collected from 70-day-old pea plants. Imposition of salt stress significantly checked growth, gas exchange characteristics [net CO 2 assimilation rate ( A ), transpiration rate ( E ), stomatal conductance ( g s )], total soluble proteins, concentration of superoxide dismutase (SOD), shoot and root K + and Ca 2+ contents, while sub-stomatal CO 2 concentration ( C i), coefficient of non-photochemical quenching ( qN ), non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), concentration of catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD), free proline, and shoot and root Na + contents increased substantially. Foliar application of proline significantly improved growth, yield, A , g s , activity of POD, and shoot and root K + and Ca 2+ contents, while decreased NPQ values in both pea cultivars under stress and non-stress conditions. Moreover, both pea cultivars showed significant differences as cv. Round exhibited a higher rate of growth, yield, gas exchange, soluble proteins, CAT activity, free proline, shoot and root K + and Ca 2+ contents compared to L-888. Hence, the outcomes of this study pave the way toward the usage of proline at 20 mM, and cv. Round may be recommended for saline soil cultivation.
