Table 1 Modified standard evaluation system (SES) score of visual salt injury at seedling stage
From: Seed Halopriming Improves Salinity Tolerance of Some Rice Cultivars During Seedling Stage
SES score | Visual observation | Tolerance |
|---|---|---|
1 | Normal growth, no leaf symptoms | Highly tolerant |
3 | Nearly normal growth, but leaf tips or a few leaves whitish and rolled | Tolerant |
5 | Growth severely retarded; most leaves rolled; only a few are elongating | Moderately tolerant |
7 | Complete cessation of growth; most leaves dry; some plants dying | Susceptible |
9 | Almost all plants dead or dying | Highly susceptible |
