Boron Effect on Growth and Mineral Content of Lentil Plant (Lens culinaris) Under Salt Stress

Abstract

Stress on plants is described as the negative impact resulted from altered growth conditions. Drought, salt, heat, cold, frost, flood, air pollution, metal and oxidative stress are the common stress causing factors for plants. 33% of the farming lands, worldwide, is under salt stress.  In this study, red and green lentil species were used, which were exposed to 50 mM and 200 mM NaCl-stress. Boron, in contrast to this, were introduced to the lentil growing media at 0.5, 1.0. 2.0 and 5.0 mM boron concentrations to overcome stress arose from the salt. Plants were observed for 7 days, followed by length of shoot and root, fresh weight shoot and root, and K, Na, B and Ca contents were evalutated at the end of the 7th day. At 50 and 200 mM concentratins of NaCl for both red and green lentils length of shoot and root, fresh weight shoot and root, K and Ca contents were diminished; the stress were harsher on red lentil. Boron at 0.5 ve 1.0 mM concentrations reduced salt stress, and ameliorated shoot-root length, fresh shoot-root weight and K and Ca intake. The goal of this study was to minimize negative impacts of salt on plants farmed in high-salt containing soils. In the followed approach, boron was administrated to lentil growing media, which is widely farmed in Turkiye and all around the world. The results depicting that boron at 0.5 and 1.0 mM concentrations can be a supportive fertilizer to surrpass salt related stress.
