In the present study, the potential of ethylene as ethephon (an ethylene source) was investigated individually and in combination with split doses of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) soil treatments for removal of the damaging effects of salt stress (100 mM NaCl) in mustard (Brassica juncea L.). Plants were grown with 50 mg N plus 50 mg S kg−1 soil at sowing time and an equivalent dose at 20 days after sowing [N50 + S50]0d and 20d. Ethephon at 200 μL L‒1 was applied to combined split doses of N and S with or without NaCl. Plants subjected to NaCl showed a decrease in growth and photosynthetic characteristics as well as N and S assimilation, whereas proline metabolism and antioxidants increased. The application of ethephon to plants grown with split N and S doses significantly enhanced photosynthetic efficiency by increasing the assimilation of N and S, improving the concentration of proline and induction of the antioxidant system with or without NaCl. The regulation of ethylene and/or split forms of N and S application may be potential tools for not just overcoming salt stress effects in this species and in related Brassicaceae but also enhancing their photosynthesis and growth potential through increased nutrient assimilation.

Hyperspectral sensing offers a quick and non-destructive alternative for assessing phenotypic parameters of plant physiological status and salt stress tolerance. This study compares the performance of published and modified spectral reflectance indices (SRIs) for estimating and predicting the growth and photosynthetic efficiency of two wheat cultivars exposed to three salinity levels (control, 6.0, and 12.0 dS m−1). Results show that individual SRIs based on visible- and near-infrared (VIS/VIS, NIR/VIS, and NIR/NIR) estimate and predict measured parameters considerably more efficiently than those based on shortwave-infrared (SWIR/VIS and SWIR/NIR), with the exception of some modified indices (the water balance index (WABI-1(1550, 482), WABI-2(1640, 482), and WABI-3(1650, 531)), normalized difference moisture index (NDMI(1660, 1742)), and dry matter content index (DMCI(1550, 2305)), which show moderate to strong relationships with measured parameters. Overall results indicate that modified SRIs can serve as rapid and non-destructive high-throughput alternative approaches for tracking growth and photosynthetic efficiency of wheat under salt stress field conditions.
