Abstract
They were shifting in land use increases salinity stress, significant abiotic stress affecting plant growth, limiting crop productivity. This work aimed to improve
L. (linseed) growth under salinity using
and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). AgNPs were fabricated exploiting
and monitored by U.V./Vis spectrophotometry scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Photosynthetic pigments, enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants of linseed were investigated under salt stress in treated and untreated plants with
alongside AgNPs. Our findings recorded the formation of AgNPs at 457 nm, which were globular and with a diameter of 75 nm. Notably, chlorophyll-a, b, and total chlorophyll reduction while enhanced carotenoids and anthocyanin contents were attained under salinity stress. Total dissoluble sugars, proline, and dissoluble proteins, H
O
, malondialdehyde, enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants were significantly elevated in NaCl well. Combined AgNPs and
elevated photosynthetic pigments. Also, they led to the mounting of soluble sugars, proline, and soluble proteins. H
O
and malondialdehyde decreased while enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants increased in response to AgNPs,
and their combination. Thus, AgNPs and
might bio-fertilizers to improve linseed crop productivity under salinity stress.
