Fig. 6.
Effects of SiO2-NPs on actual photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (ΦPSII, A), photochemical quenching of variable chlorophyll (qP, B), non-photochemical quenching (NPQ, C), and maximal photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm, D) of cotton seedlings under the salt and low temperature dual stress. CK represents the foliar application of 0 mg L− 1 SiO2-NPs with no stress. T1, T2, T3, and T4 represent the foliar application of 0 mg L− 1, 50 mg L− 1, 100 mg L− 1, and 200 mg L− 1 SiO2-NPs under the salt and low-temperature dual stress, respectively. Data are mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). Different alphabets on top of error bars represent significant differences (p < 0.05)
