Fig. 7From: Acclimation with humic acids enhances maize and tomato tolerance to salinityA Activity of plasma membrane H+-ATPase and B nitrate reductase. C Root membrane integrity; D malondialdehyde content. Data were obtained in 5-week-old plants with either control (1/2 strength Hoagland solution) or humic acids (control + 4 mM C HA) further treated for additional 7 days with 300 mM NaCl, 4 mM C HA or 300 mM NaCl plus 4 mM C HA. Values are presented as means ± SD (n = 10). Different letters represent average values that were judged to be statistically different between 7-day treated plants (P < 0.05, Tukey test)Back to article page
