Abstract:
Buckwheat belongs to family Polygonaceae, is an undervalued Pseudo-cereal with considerable potential for dietary and nutritional purposes. Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) and Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) are two significant species present all over the world. Furthermore, in abiotic stresses salt stress. It is one of the most important and prevalent stress that affects crop production globally. Buckwheat is salt sensitive crop as other crops. The non-protein amino acid gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is plant growth regulator that rapidly accumulates in plant tissues to cope stress and controls plant growth. The Pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) under saline stress on two Germplasm 107 and 136 of buckwheat (Fygophyrum esculentum Moench) on the growth and Morphological attributes like plant height, root and shoot fresh weight, root and shoot dry weight, root and shoot length, number of root and leaves, leaf area, and physiochemical attributes of both Germplasm under salinity stress. The experiment was in completely randomized design (CRD). According to the statistical analysis and comparison of mean values the performance of both Germplasm was reduced by the toxic effects of NaCl Stress but with the foliar application of 1mM GABA reduced the toxic effects in both Germplasm. Various differences were observed in saline and non-saline conditions where 136 germplasm showed better growth with the presence of GABA and salinity as compared to other one. Hence it was concluded that Germplasm 136 was more tolerant and showed better results in the presence of GABA. Buckwheat can tolerate salt stress in saline conditions in the presence of this Growth regulator.
