Abstract

Salinity stress is a major agricultural challenge, leading to reduced growth and productivity in crop plants. While seed priming with nanoparticles has emerged as a novel approach to mitigate environmental stress effects, limited information is available regarding the impact of magnesium nanoparticles on camelina (Camelina sativa) under salinity stress. This study aimed to investigate the influence of seed priming with magnesium nanoparticles on growth, biochemical traits, and seed quality of camelina under salinity stress. The experiment was conducted as a factorial in a completely randomized design with three salinity levels (0, 100, and 200 mM NaCl) and four concentrations of magnesium nanoparticles (0, 100, 300, and 600 mg/L). Results showed that salinity stress reduced the potassium-to-sodium ratio, thousand-seed weight, seed yield, oil content, and caused unfavorable changes in fatty acid composition. In contrast, seed priming with magnesium nanoparticles, particularly at a concentration of 300 mg/L, improved the potassium-to-sodium ratio, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities, increased phenolic and flavonoid contents, and decreased lipid peroxidation. This treatment also boosted seed yield and oil content by 168% and 43%, respectively, and improved oil quality by increasing unsaturated fatty acids and reducing palmitic acid content. Overall, the findings suggest that seed priming with magnesium nanoparticles, especially at 300 mg/L, can enhance the quantitative and qualitative traits of camelina seeds under salinity stress and serve as an effective strategy to mitigate salinity stress and improve crop productivity.
