| Abstract | ||||
| Germination rate and chlorophylls (a and b) were assayed in salinized grains and seedlings. Results indicated that salinity caused obvious reductions in germination and chlorophylls. Supplements of salicylic acid and its derivatives (Acetyl salicylic acid and Methyl salicylate) partially alleviated the depressive effects of salinity and germination, and unexpectedly raised the chlorophylls above controls in the salinized seedlings. Results are interpreted as indicating a positive correlation of salicylic acid and its derivatives on salinized grains and seedlings of maize. | ||||
