What is it about?
This study aimed to explore the changes in morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) in response to salt stress when grown using hydroponic techniques. The seedlings were subjected to five different concentrations (0 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM, 150 mM, and 200 mM) of NaCl.

Why is it important?
Lettuce is one of the most popular vegetables in Bangladesh, cultivation and consumption are growing tremendously day by day. However, a large proportion of land is salinized, and presence of salt in irrigation of water may impose detrimental effect of the successful lettuce cultivation in Bangladesh.Our investigation demonstrates the effect of NaCl on the morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics of lettuce.
Perspectives
The results obtained from the present study revealed that salinity negatively affects lettuce plants, where the response varied depending upon different salt concentrations.
