Effect Of Priming Of Seeds Of Medicago Sativa ‘Bami’ With Gibberellic Acid On Germination, Seedlings Growth And Antioxidant Enzymes Activity Under Salinity Stress

Abstract: The experiment was conducted in order to study effects of seeds priming with gibberellic acid (GA3) at 0, 3, 5 and 8 mM on germination, growth and antioxidant enzymes activity in alfalfa seedlings under salinity stress (200 mM NaCl). All control seeds germinated. The rate of germinated seeds was reduced to 48% in the presence of NaCl, and increased to 76% after seeds priming with 5 mM GA3. Priming with 5 mM GA3 was also correlated with an increase of dry weight of seedlings derived from both stressed and non-s… Show more

“…When seedlings are under stress, the products can act as attenuators, enabling the establishment of seedlings (Khan et al, 2015). This was evidenced by analyzing studies carried out with initial treatment of Medicago sativa L. seeds with gibberellic acid, which reduced the negative effect of salts on seedling growth (Younesi & Moradi, 2014). Moreover, reuse water, such as fish farming wastewater, has high conductivity, but with elements that are not always harmful.…”

“…Harris et al [131] reported that seed priming with ZnSO 4 enhance grain yield in chickpea. It has been observed that priming with Gibberellins can enhance seed germination and improve salt tolerance of alfalfa by improving antioxidant activities and reducing membrane damage [132]. Azooz [133] observed that priming with salicylic acid enhance salinity tolerance in two faba bean genotypes.…”

“…These results reflect that after priming seeds with comprehensive agents, soybean seedlings strengthen the ability of eliminating ROS through enhancing activities of the antioxidant enzyme system. Younesi and Moradi (2015) also proved that there is a negative relationship between antioxidant enzyme activity and MDA.…”

“…Gibberellins can inhibit abscisic acid (ABA) activity by activating the ABA-catabolizing enzymes and decreasing ABA accumulation during germination and then enhance seed germination (Miransari and Smith, 2014). GA 3 priming can improve seed germination and increase salt tolerance of alfalfa through enhancing the activities of antioxidant enzymes and reducing membrane damage as estimated using a reduction of electrolyte leakage and MDA level in salt stressed seedlings (Younesi and Moradi, 2015).…”
