  Salinity is one of the most important factors limiting plant growth and development, especially in arid and semi arid regions. Chitosan is a biological elicitor and is a major component of cell wall in many fungal species. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of salinity and chitosan on some physiological and growth parameters of Portulaca oleracea L. This experiment was conducted as a factorial based completely randomized design with 3 replications. For this purpose, the plant was exposed to certain concentrations of NaCl (0, 25 and 35 ds m-1 ) and chitosan (0, 0.2 and 0.4 g L-1 ). Considering the plant species are salt tolerant, the results showed that the 25 ds m-1 salinity improved the plant growth; while the higher level of 35 ds m-1 reduced it. The chitosan treatment at the 25 ds m-1 salinity significantly impro.. View More»
