Salinity triggers proline sysnthesis in peanut leaves
To investigate the magnitude of proline accumulation under different salinity levels, a salinity-imposed experiment was conducted. The peanut seedlings were cultured hydroponically for 7 days before imposing salinity and then grown further for another 7 days under salinity-loaded condition. Results...

To investigate the magnitude of proline accumulation under different salinity levels, a salinity-imposed experiment was conducted.
