Regulation mechanism of exogenous ALA on growth and physiology of Leymus chinensis (Trin.) under salt stress

Salt stress is one of major problem hampering plant growth and development to a significant level. In present study, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) was exogenously applied to Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel. plants at various concentrations (10, 50, and 100 mg L-1) to assess its effects on morphology, p...

Regulation mechanism of exogenous ALA on growth and physiology of Leymus chinensis (Trin.) under salt stress
