Abstract
Effectiveness of a potential plant growth regulator, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on improving yield and regulating some potential physio-chemical attributes of seed and oil of two sunflower cultivars was examined in a greenhouse experiment. Four varying levels of ALA 20, 50 and 80 mg L-1 were applied foliarly to the two sunflower cultivars (Hysun-33 and S-278) grown under saline (150 mM NaCl) and non-saline (0 mM NaCl) conditions. Salt stress adversely affected the achenes/plant, total achene yield
