Impact of the microalga (Dunal) Teodoresco culture and its β-carotene extract on the development of salt-stressed squash ( L. cv. Mabrouka).

Unlabelled: Salinity is a major threat to crop production and global food security. Algae and their extracts containing bioactive compounds can enhance the salt tolerance of plants, including the salt-sensitive plants. The current study evaluated the efficacy of (Dunal) Teodoresco culture and/or its β-carotene extract in improving the salt tolerance of squash L.
