Effects of Salt Stress on Germination and Seedling Growth of Different Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivars
Fatih Öner
Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of different salt treatments on seed germination and seedling growth of some bread wheat cultivars. In present experiments, 8 different bread wheat cultivars (Es-26, Harmankaya, Müfitbey, Karma, Nacibey, Sönmez, Soyer and Yunus) were subjected to 5 different salt concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100 and 150 mM). Experiments were conducted in randomized plots experimental design with 3 replications. It was observed that cultivars had different responses to salt doses in terms of germination time. Fresh and dry coleoptile and radicula lengths and weights decreased with increasing salt concentrations. It was concluded that salinity negatively influenced germination times and seedling growth of bread wheat cultivars.
