Results showed that salt stress provoked a
marked decline in germination, growth and yield parameters
as well as increased lipid peroxidation and hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) contents
However, higher accumulation
of proline and low H2O2 contents were recorded in both
cultivars under halopriming followed by hydropriming.
Halopriming induced a significant increase in antioxidant
enzyme activities (CAT, POD, APX) of salt-tolerant cultivar
Lu26s, whereas such pattern of enhanced activities of
antioxidant enzymes in cultivar Lasani-06 was also found
but the content of these activities was less than control
under saline regime
