Effect of salinity and temperature on the germination of Spergularia marina seeds and ameliorating effect of ascorbic and salicylic acids.

چکیده
Spergularia marina (Caryophyllaceae) is a halophytic species and widely distributed among the sea shores of Turkey. Its seeds maybe unwinged or winged. Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of salinity (0, 50, 100 and 500 mM NaCl) and temperature (10, 15, 25, 30, 35 degrees C) on seed germination. S. marina showed 73.3% germination in non-saline controls at 25 degrees C. No germination occurred at 30 degrees C and 35 degrees C. Seed germination of Spergularia marina was significantly affected by salinity levels, temperature and their interactions. Maximum final germination percentage occured under the lowest salinity condition (50 mM) and distilled water at 25 degrees C. Seed germination was completely inhibited by 500 mM NaCl, although seed germination rate was not affected by salinity. Recovery germination was greatest in 500 mM and at 25 degrees C. The rate of germination was significantly affected by temperature (p < 0.01). The germination percentage of the seeds pretreated with 40 mM and 60 mM L-ASA in 50 mM and 100 mM NaCl was improved compared with that of untreated L-ASA. Addition of 0.5 mM salicylic acid (SA) improved the germination in 50 mM NaCl.

Seed priming is a common way to increase the speed and uniformity of germination under Under stress and non-stress conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different levels of gibberellic , salicylic and ascorbic acid on improvement of germination indices of Zygophyllum atriplicoides under salt stress in laboratory Chemical stimulators used in this study include: 3 le...
متن کاملRelationships between seed germinability of Spergularia marina (Caryophyllaceae) and the formation of zonal communities in an inland salt marsh.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The formation of zonal communities may be attributed to differences in germination across the community and to timing of germination of seeds present in the seed bank. Our goals were two-fold: (1) to assess the annual germination pattern of Spergularia marina; and (2) to determine whether germination of S. marina differed across zonal communities. METHODS Fresh seeds were ...

A field experiment was carried out to study the response of presoaked faba bean seeds (Vicia faba cv. Misr 2) in freshly prepared ascorbic acid (50 ppm) or distilled water (control) for 4 hrs at natural environmental conditions, to salinity stress. NaCl treatments caused a reduction in all productivity and yield parameters as compared with control, particularly at high NaCl level (150 mM), wher...
