I want to take up a pot culture experiment in Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) for Salinity stress.
What are methods to carry out the research.
Kindly suggest
Dear Girija Prasad Patnaik
Quinoa has exhibited a very high level of salinity tolerance under controlled conditions. Koyro and Eisa (2007) and Hariadi et al. (2011) demonstrated the ability of quinoa to survive and produce seed under 500 mM NaCl, an equivalent concentration to that of seawater. Jacobsen et al. (2003) found that seeds of the variety “Kanckolla” were able to germinate at 57 mS/cm, a level exceeding that of seawater. A recent study by Peterson (2013) measured the salinity tolerance among four quinoa varieties of Chilean lowland origin . All four varieties were significantly more tolerant to Na2SO4 than they were to NaCl, as measured by yield decreases at 32 dS/m relative to a nonsalt control. Yield declines for quinoa varieties ranged from 43.7% to 65.4% under 32 dS/m NaCl and from 10.8% to 51.9% under 32 dS/m Na2SO4.

I recommend you our last paper, we did an essay based on drought stress in tobacco plants, but the experiment may be similar to yours.

It will be required the control environment...
CRD Design will be best for you Experiment
