Comparative study of drought and salt stress effects on germination and seedling growth of pea
2016
Seed germination is first critical and the most sensitive stage in the life
cycle of plants compromise the seedlings establishment. Salt and drought
tolerance testing in initial stages of plant development is of vital
importance, because the seed with more rapid germination under salt or water
deficit conditions may be expected to achieve a rapid seedling establishment,
resulting in higher yields. The aim of this study was to determine whether
the pea seed germination and seedling growth were inhibited by the salt
toxicity and osmotic effect during the seedling development, and also
identification of the sensitive seedling growth parameters in response to
those stresses. Based on the obtained results, pea has been presented to be
more tolerant to salt than water stress during germination and early embryo
growth. Investigated cultivars showed greater susceptibility to both abiotic
stresses when it comes growth parameters compared to seed germination.
