چکیده
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Se application under salinity conditions on the yield and physiological characteristics of garlic. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with three replications. Treatments included four levels of Se (0, 4, 8, 16 mg L⁻¹) and four salinity levels (0, 30, 60, and 90 mM sodium chloride) in a factorial arrangement. Results indicated that low concentrations of Se positively influenced vegetative characteristics. Increasing Se concentration to 8 mgL-1 enhanced growth across all studied vegetative traits. Relative water content of the leaves decreased with increasing NaCl concentration compared to the control. Se-treated plants showed increased levels of chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll and carotenoids compared to the control. Additionally, superoxide dismutase enzyme activity significantly increased with 8 mgL-1 Se treatment at 30 mM sodium chloride compared to the control. Interaction analysis revealed the highest and lowest catalase activity at 8 and 4 mgL-1 Se and 90 mM sodium chloride, respectively. Future research should explore the long-term effects of Se application on garlic under varying environmental conditions. Investigating the molecular mechanisms behind Se protective role against salinity stress could provide deeper insights. Additionally, examining the impact of Se on other economically important crops under salinity stress would be valuable.
