Germinability and antioxidant metabolism in Passiflora caerulea L. seeds exposed to salt stress
José María Chaín,
Humberto Causin
Abstract:P. caerulea is the Passiflora species with the widest distribution in Argentina. Despite the need to cultivate it to decrease the extraction impact on its natural populations, the information on how environmental factors affect seed germinability is scarce. In order to evaluate the greminative response and the role of the antioxidant metabolism against saline stress, freshly collected seeds were germinated at 26° C in the presence of 0 (control), 30, 60 or 90 mM NaCl. The percentage of germination, the content… Show more
