Exploring the role of exogenous application of triacontanol on linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) yield and oil quality under salinity and drought stress-induced oxidative stress
20-3823/NRPU/R&D/HEC/14/525
Pakistan is facing extremely shortage of edible oil with local production of only 0.680 million tones that provide only 24% of domestic requirement while 76% is imported (GOP, 2010). Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an oldest traditional oilseed crop. Salinity and drought stress significantly reduce growth and yield of oil crops in arid and semi-arid regions. Lot of management practices have been made to alleviate negative effects of salinity and drought stress on crop plants but the progress is very slow due to being time consuming. Of various strategies, exogenous application of plant growth regulators to metigate salinity and drought stress on crop plants is widely used these days. Triacontanol (TRIA) is a naturally occurring plant growth regulator that regulate growth, physiological and biochemical processes in plants under abiotic stresses. Objectives of the proposed project will be to assess the effect of exogenous application of TRIA on modulation of various growth, morphological and physiochemical traits of linseed plants under single and combined salinity and drought stress.
