Abstract excerpt
Salinity stress impairs maize growth by inducing osmotic stress, pigment degradation, and ionic imbalance, particularly during early seedling development. This study investigated the morpho-physiological and ionic responses of different maize genotypes exposed to increasing salinity levels (control, 3, 6, and 9 dS/m) at the seedling stage. Salinity caused a reduction in biomass accumulation (shoot fresh weight...
