The effect of salinity stress on germination parameters in Satureja thymbra L. (Lamiaceae)

Salinity is an important problem all over the world. The destructive effect of salinity observed from seed germination stage. In this study, it was aimed to determine on medically Satureja thymbra L., whether pre-treatments are a factor in breaking stress, and level tolerance species. research, firstly, seeds were exposed two (80°C (5 minutes) + 10 ppm GA3 (24 hours), 80°C 100 hours)) then 8 different NaCl concentrations (0.1 g/l, 1 2.5 5 7.5 g/l,10 15 g/l 30 g/l) tried. Germination counted every day effects characteristics investigated. highest percentage (90%) obtained at 0.1 after min.) h.) pre-treatment. results showed that significant parameters p < 0.05. Obtained concentration which could germinate g/l.
