    USE OF PLANT EXTRACTS TO MITIGATE SALT STRESS IN TOMATO (SOLANUM LYCOPERSICUM L.)
    (Abbes Laghrour University,Khenchela, 2024) Zemaili Aya; Lachekhab Meriem; Supervisor:Fercha Azzedine
    This research aims to investigate the impact of pre-treatment or irrigation using extracts from three medicinal plants (Syzygium aromaticum, Rhaponticum acaule, and Rhamnus lycioides) on alleviating the adverse effects of salt stress on the germination and growth of the Heinz 1530 tomato variety. The findings indicated that moderate saline stress (100 mM NaCl during germination and 50 mM NaCl during the seedling stage) significantly and negatively affected most studied parameters. However, the application of plant extracts either as a pre-treatment or through irrigation mitigated the negative impacts of salinity, enhancing the salinity tolerance of tomato seedlings. While the results are promising, further studies are necessary to elucidate the mechanisms by which these biostimulators influence salinity tolerance and plant growth.
