Effect of salinity on germination and early seedling growth of maize

Abstract: An incubation experiment was conducted at the Department of Soil Science, Patuakhali Science and Technology University during Rabi season 2015 to investigate the effects of different levels of salinity on germination and early seedling growth of maize. There were ten treatments consisting of different concentrations of salinity viz. 0, 20, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280 and 320 mM NaCl. The germination experiment was conducted in petri dish lined with a layer of cotton consisting ten ml of each test solution.… Show more

“…The imbibition process depends on several factors, including the temperature, water, oxygen, permeability of the seed coat, seed size and osmotic potential (Louf et al, 2018). Several studies (Matthews, Khajeh-Hosseini, 2007;Ahmed et al, 2017) have shown that the germination and seedling growth are significantly affected by salt stress; however, little is known on the role that ploidy has in annual ryegrass. Studies have reported that imbibition is completed faster in the smaller seeds within the same ploidy level because of the increase in surface area to volume ratio, hence, increasing the absorption of water is leading to faster germination (Schneider, 1998;Souza, Fagundes, 2014).…”

“…Further, most food crops belong to salt‐sensitive glycophytes, which causes a serious threat to the global food supply. Moreover, salinity stress affects plants at almost all developmental stages, from seed germination, seedling establishment, and reproductive stage to flowering and seed maturation (Ahmed et al, 2017; Läuchli & Grattan, 2007; Negrão et al, 2017; Zhang et al, 2017a).…”
