Synergistic effects of foliar applied glycine betaine and proline in enhancing rice yield and stress resilience under salinity conditions.

ABSTRACT: Soil salinity is one of the most challenging environmental factors affecting rice productivity, particularly in regions with high saline soils such as Egypt. The ability of rice to maintain high yield and quality under saline stress is often limited, leading to significant reductions in productivity. With the increasing salinization of agricultural lands, finding effective agronomic practices and treatments to mitigate salt-induced damage in rice crops is critical for ensuring food security. This study investigates the potential of exogenous glycine betaine (GB) and proline (Pro) applications to mitigate the adverse effects of salt stress on rice (cv. Sakha 108) over two consecutive growing seasons (2021-2022). Treatments of 30 mM GB and 30 mM Pro significantly enhanced dry weight (162.2 a
