The Effect of Exogenous Application of Proline and Glycine Betaineon the Nodule Activity of Soybean Under Saline Condition

A. EL Sabagh, S. Sorour, A. Ragab, H. Saneoka, M.S. Islam

Abstract


Salinity is considered one of the main abiotic stress that influence the growth and development of several important legume plants. Proline and glycine betaine are provided in tolerant plant in response to stresses. Therefore, a greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the activity in nodules, number and proline and Glycine Betaine-induced response of soybean under salinity stress conditions. Based on the results, salinity stress reduced biological nitrogen fixation, specific nodule activity and nodule number than normal irrigation conditions. Exogenous proline and glycine betaine significantly increased biological nitrogen fixation and specific nodule activity under stress conditions. Consequently, the results will help to solve salinity problem and could be provide the sustainable agriculture.
