abstract

background and objectives: alkalinity stress caused by the alkaline salts such as na2co3 or nahco3 in the soil. alkaline stress affected germination, growth and crop productivity. moreover, the alkalinity stress can directly damage plant growth, alter the availability of nutrients, and disrupt the balance of ions and mineral nutrition. the application of different seed pretreatment methods is one of the ways to stimulate seed germination and growth in stress condition. one of the most common methods is the use of halopriming. halopriming or soaking of seeds in salt solutions is one of method seed priming, which enhances germination and seedling emergence under adverse environmental conditions. so, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects halopriming on growth of sesame under alkaline stress condition. materials and methods: in first experiment, factors were priming with nacl with concentrations 0, 50, 100 and 150 mm for 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours. in second experiment, factors were priming with nahco3 with concentrations 0, 10, 20 and 30 mm for different times 6, 12, 18 and 24. third experiment was conducted basis on result were obtained from two previous tests. in this experiment, factors were priming (non-primed (control), distilled water (hydropriming), nacl and nahco3) and alkalinity stress (0, 15, 30 and 45 mm). alkaline stress in the pots was created by adding nahco3, to half strength hoagland’s solution. control plants were only irrigated with half strength hoagland’s solution. in this experiment, shoot and root height, potential quantum yield (fv/fm), performance index (pi), proline, carbohydrate, malondialdehyde content, potassium content, sodium content and sodium to potassium rate were measured.results: results obtained from first experiment suggested that 50 mm nacl for 24 hours as the best treatment. results second experiment suggested that 30 mm of nahco3 for 18 hours duration as the best treatment. results third experiment showed that alkalinity stress reduced shoot length, leaf area, potential quantum yield (fv/fm), performance index (pi), potassium content and potassium to sodium rate, whereas increased proline, carbohydrate content and sodium content. priming different treatments was increased root length, shoot length, leaf area, potassium and potassium to sodium rate compared to control (non-primed). in all of alkalinity levels, priming different treatments decreased malondialdehyde content, whereas increased fv/fm and root length. conclusion: totally, results showed that alkalinity stress decreased growth of sesame and in alkalinity stress, seed halopriming decreased membrane damage (as indicated by low mda concentration) and improved plant growth in sesame.

physiological and Biochemical responses of different sesame (sesamum indicum) genotypes under salinity stress

Sesame seeds are a good source for food and health due to their protein and unsaturated fatty acids and secondary metabolites such as lignans. Soil and water salinity is one of the most important factors limiting the growth of this crop. By examining the physiological reactions related to salinity tolerance among different landraces and cultivars, tolerant and sensitive cultivars can be selecte...

Evaluating the Germination Indices of Different Genotypes of Sesame Plant (Sesamum indicum) Under Salinity Stress

Extended abstract Introduction: One of the ways to overcome the limitation of fresh water and lack of sufficient water reserves for agriculture is to use unconventional waters such as seawater. Salinity stress is the most important abiotic stress in seawater application. Identification and planting of salinity tolerant genotypes of a plant species is one of the effective and valuable strategie...

Physiological responses of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) to foliar application of boron and zinc under drought stress conditions

Micronutriens deficiency is prevalent in case of drought stress conditions, so complementary boron and zinc nutrition are important for crops to overcome drought stress. This study evaluated the effect of zinc and boron foliar application on physiological traits of sesame under different irrigation levels. The experiment was conducted as a split plot in a randomized complete block design with t...
