Knowledge of plant response to salinity, especially at early growth stages, is critical optimizing crop production in salt-affected soils. In this paper we explore quantitatively the effectiveness seed pre-treatment lessen effects salinity on Borage (Borago officinalis L.) germination and subsequent seedling growth. Two independent experiments were conducted with nine levels five pre-treatments...
