Improvement of salt tolerance in Vicia faba (L.) seedlings: a comprehensive investigation of the effects of exogenous calcium chloride

Abstract Background This study investigated the effects of the different concentrations of CaCl2 (10 and 15 mol m−3) on the growth, physiology, and cytological characteristics of salt-stressed Vicia faba (L.) seedlings grown under greenhouse conditions. Results Salinity stress (150 mol m−3 NaCl) had...
