Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the leaf response of maize to high salt – stress conditions and supplements of salicylates. Sodium chloride salinity (50mM) distinctly diminished the nitrate content, and nitrate reductase, being a substrate induced enzyme behaved similarly. Supplements of salicylates (salicylic acid, acetyl salicylic acid and methyl salicylates partially alleviated the depressive effects of salinity on the two assayed parameters.
