While in the second experiment, five different salinity concentrations, [S0 (0 dS/m); S1 (2 dS/m); S2 (4 dS/m); S3 (6 dS/m) and S4 (8 dS/m)] were applied to the plants. Betaine was applied with (50mM) or without (0mM) on both experiments. Some of morphology and physiology parameters were observed and determined as per guidelines for both experiment.

The first experiment showed the different water level treatments affected morphological and physiological of Arabidopsis plant. Betaine was significantly increasing the leaf area, root length, FW and DW of shoot and root, increased in chlorophyll content in the leaf, stomatal conductance, stomatal aperture and seed weight of Arabidopsis compared to betaine-untreated plant. However, betaine was found not significantly increased the leaf number, plant height, root-shoot ratio, chlorophyll fluorescence and others related parameters, percentage of RWC, leaf temperature, total weight loss and seed number. Meanwhile, in the second experiment, plant morphology and physiology of plant was affected by different salinity concentrations. Betaine under salinity stress showed significantly effects especially under treatment S3 (6 dS/m NaCl) and S4 (8 dS/m NaCl) compared to others treatment. However, only leaf area, FW and DW of plant, chlorophyll content, and non-photochemical quenching activities of Arabidopsis showed significantly increment under betaine-treated plant compared to betaine-untreated. Meanwhile, no significant increment was revealed on leaf number, plant height, chlorophyll fluorescence, photochemical quenching activities, leaf temperature and percentage of RWC under betaine-treated Arabidopsis. In conclusion, this study suggests that exogenous application of betaine improves certain physiological and morphological parameters of Arabidopsis thaliana plant to sustain under water and salinity stresses. Therefore, ensuring the plant to sustain yield and production under limited water resources and moderate salinity stress.

summary Water and salinity stresses commonly known as an abiotic stresses that affects plant productions by reducing morphology and physiology characteristics of the plant. Betaine is compatible solutes which can be applied exogenously to the plants and provide resist mechanism under stress condition.
