Enzymatic and anatomical responses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivar IPA 99 to irrigation with magnetized water

Abstract

Water and water conservation techniques in the world are of great importance, especially the use of saline water for irrigation of crops. Therefore, in this research, the magnetization saline water technique was used to irrigation wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivar IPA 99. The response on some enzymatic and anatomical parameters of, afield experiment was carried out during winter season of 2019 - 2020 at the farm of technical institute-Kufa field, College of Science, and University of Kufa to investigate the possibility of using magnetized saline water (2.7 and 3.17 dS/m) for irrigation and to follow the enzymatic and anatomical responses of T. aestivum plants. SOD, CAT and POD enzymes. In addition to anatomical changes. Epidermis thickness, vascular bindle diameter and leave thickness of T. aestivum. The most important results are irrigation with high level of saline water led to a decrease in the plant vital signs. After saline water magnetization, SOD, CAT and POD enzymes increased by a percentage ranging between 85%, 65% and 34% respect ally. Anatomical characteristic showed structural changes when plant irrigation with saline water. Change in the middle vein and the central leaf area, such as collapsed lupus parenchyma, rupture of the outer peripheral wall of the epidermis, and the breakdown of more internal tissues, such as the mesophyll parenchyma. Whenever irrigation with magnetized water, the anatomical features showed improvement in epidermal thickness, an increase in mesophyll tissue, thickness of vascular bindle, and an increase in leaf thickness in general. These results indicate the possibility of irrigation T. aestivum with saline water after magnetization.
