Physiological and Biochemical Effects of γ-Irradiation on Cowpea Plants (Vigna sinensis) under Salt Stress

Soil salinity is one of the most severe factors limiting growth and physiological response in cowpea plants. In this study, the possible role of γ-irradiation in alleviating soil salinity stress during plant growth was investigated. Increasing salinity in the soil (25, 50, 100 and 200 mM NaCl) decre...
