Saline stress affects the growth of Saccharum complex genotypes

Impacts of saline stress on the physiology of Saccharum complex genotypes

Welson Lima Simoes et al.

Summary: Knowledge of the physiological mechanisms in saline environments may enhance sugarcane breeding programs targeting abiotic stresses. The study found that certain genotypes of Saccharum exhibited higher photosynthetic rates, carbon dioxide concentrations, transpiration rates, and chlorophyll content under salt stress, indicating their potential superiority in physiological performance. Photosynthesis and transpiration are the most suitable parameters for screening, but the SPAD index is the most practical tool due to its ease of determination and cost-effectiveness.

Characterization and gas exchange in accessions of Saccharum complex under salinity in the Sub-middle Sao Francisco, Brazil

Welson L. Simoes et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the leaf gas exchange and biometric characteristics of various accessions of the Saccharum complex under salt stress conditions. The E. arundinaceus accessions showed higher photosynthetic rates, transpiration rates, plant heights, and leaf lengths, indicating greater adaptability to salt stress and potential promise in breeding programs.
