“…For this reason, it has become one of the urgent needs to increase the productivity of plants grown in salty areas and used for both food and treatment purposes and to find a solution to salinity stress (Shahid et al, 2021). Salinity tolerance during the germination and emergence stages is an important indicator of salt tolerance in other subsequent growth stages (Feghhenabi et al, 2021).…”

Salinity is an important problem all over the world. The destructive effect of salinity is observed from the seed germination stage. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of salinity on seed germination of the medically important Satureja thymbra L., whether pre-treatments are a factor in breaking the salinity stress, and to determine the level of salinity tolerance of this species. In the research, firstly, the seeds were exposed to two pretreatments (80°C (5 minutes) + 10 ppm GA3 (24 hours), 80°C (5 minutes) + 100 ppm GA3 (24 hours)) and then 8 different NaCl concentrations (0.1 g/l, 1 g/l, 2.5 g/l, 5 g/l, 7.5 g/l,10 g/l, 15 g/l and 30 g/l) were tried. Germination seeds were counted every day and the effects of salinity on germination characteristics were investigated. The highest germination percentage (90%) was obtained at 0.1 g/l NaCl after 80°C (5 min.) + 100 ppm GA3 (24 h.) pretreatment. The results showed that the effect of salinity was significant on germination parameters in p < 0.05. Obtained results showed that the highest NaCl concentration at which Satureja thymbra seed could germinate was 10 g/l.

Knowledge about the pharmacological benefits of different seeds is an important factor for the cultivation and application of medicinal herbs and plants. The seeds of medicinal plants are stores of valuable and active secondary metabolites that have been commercially and economically beneficial and helpful for medicine and pharmacy. The major parameter of reproduction and the preservation of plants are seeds, which have a functional role in the distribution and establishment of plants in different regions. Five important seeds that have tremendous medicinal and pharmacological benefits are anise, basil, borage, cilantro, and chamomile. Anise seed is used as a spice, either whole or ground, and its essential oil and extract are also obtained from the seeds. Basil seeds have a long history of usage in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, and they are a good source of minerals, are high in fiber (including pectin), and are rich is flavonoids and other polyphenols. Borage seed oil is used for skin disorders, such as seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and neurodermatitis. Coriander is an annual herb that is part of the Apiaceae family, and the seeds are rich in iron, zinc, copper, and essential minerals, which can decrease bad cholesterol and improve good cholesterol in the body. Chamomile can be considered for the treatment of insomnia, hemorrhoids, anxiety, and diarrhea, and it may help with wound healing and skin irritation. Keyword searches for Anise, Seed, Basil, Borage, Cilantro, Chamomile, Seed biology, Traditional medicinal science, and seed anatomy were performed using Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google scholar. The aim of this article review is to survey the pharmacological and health benefits of the seeds of the five aforementioned important medicinal plants.

“…Kazemeini et al (2018) reported that salt toxicity had a more severe influence on plant development during the early stage. Feghhenabi et al (2021) further studied the plant response to salinity and concluded that threshold soil salinity increased from early growth stages to reproductive growth stages. The threshold soil salinity at different growth stages was also quantified, respectively (Wu et al 2020;Zeng et al 2016).…”

Soil salinization is a limiting factor for irrigated agriculture, and inappropriate irrigation and fertigation continues to worsen the problem, especially in arid regions. Determination of threshold soil salinity is of great environmental importance for salinity control in irrigation areas. A two consecutive year's cotton field experiment was conducted to develop the dynamic threshold soil salinity (S th ) and quantitatively evaluate the effects of applying nitrogen on salinity stress alleviation. Four irrigation amounts (75%, 100%, 125%, and 150% of crop water requirement) and four nitrogen application rates (195, 255, 315, and 375 kg ha −1 ) were applied with groundwater and brackish water irrigation to produce the dynamic soil salinity (EC 1:5 ) and mineral nitrogen (N) content pools with a wide range of values. Results showed that the EC 1:5 and soil N pools were built-up in a range of 0.16−1.68 dS m −1 and 0.3-17.9 mg kg −1 . The S th for cotton at the seedling, squaring, flower boll, and mature stages were 0.69, 0.74, 1.02, and 1.02 dS m −1 , respectively. Cotton crops presented the highest nitrogen uptake at optimal soil mineral nitrogen values of 12.7 and 16.2 mg kg −1 during the reproductive growth stage, and an appropriate nitrogen application rate increased the S th by 19−126%. In addition, the linear equations of salt-nitrogen relation were determined and used to calculate the soil N under higher soil salinity (above the S th ) for maintaining cotton production. These findings produced a new perspective to determine threshold soil salinity and mitigate soil salt suppression by nitrogen management.
