“…Similar results have also been reported by other researchers, who found that an osmotic potential of -0.9 MPa after PEG, NaCl or mannitol treatment led to a reduction in maize and soybean seed germination (Abreu et al, 2014;Soares et al, 2015). A decline in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) seed viability, vigor and quality was also reported by Ferreira et al (2017) when the osmotic potentials were below -0.6 MPa.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate seed physiological quality and initial pea (Pisum sativum) seedling development at different water and salt potentials. Polyethylene glycol 6000, sodium chloride and potassium chloride solutions with different osmotic potentials (0; -0.2; -0.4; -0.6; -0.8; -1.0, and -1.2 MPa) were used, and the experiment had a 3 × 7 factorial arrangement. The physiological quality and initial seedling growth characteristics (first germination count, final germination count, strong normal seedlings, epicotyl and taproot lengths, epicotyl dry matter, and root dry matter) were evaluated in a completely randomized experimental design, with four repetitions. Decreases in the observed variables showed that the simulated stress conditions negatively affected physiological performance, germination and initial seedling growth. The water and salt stresses induced by the sodium chloride and potassium chloride solutions were greater than the stress induced by polyethylene glycol 6000.

“…In the present work, the decrease of seed germination rate was indeed more evident that the decline in germination (%, six days after sowing) and one of the most pronounced parameters under study. This result is in accordance with other cowpea studies, where the seed germination rate (GR) also decreased with drought stress induced by PEG-6000 (Araújo et al, 2018;Ferreira et al, 2017;Murillo-Amador et al, 2002). Several cowpea genotypes revealed significant alterations in their germination with PEG-6000 treatments, while others were not so affected, suggesting that distinct genotypes could be differently disturbed by drought.…”

Global warming has an increasing impact on the availability of water for agriculture. Crops tolerant to high temperatures and drought, such as cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.), have an added value in the near future. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of drought on seed germination and seedling emergence of cowpea genotypes, in order to screen the most tolerant genotypes. Seeds from 58 cowpea genotypes all over the world were submitted to two stress conditions, induced by PEG-6000 (corresponding to osmotic potentials of −0.75 bars and −1.5 bars). Germination and seedling growth parameters, vigor index and proline content were determined to assess drought tolerance. The results revealed significant differences of all parameters among genotypes after treatments and interaction of both. Water stress caused a general decrease in germination and seedling growth, while an increase in proline content was observed. A high variation of drought responses were detected among genotypes, being possible to select seven genotypes (C11, C18, C44, C46, C47, C50 and C54) as tolerant to drought at germination stage. These results will be useful to select the best suitable parents for insertion in future breeding programs.

“…Water deficit simulation using PEG 6000 also allowed to observe the effects of stress on germination and initial growth of seedlings of the cowpea cultivar BRS Tumucumaque, by the reduction in the evaluated variables (Ferreira et al, 2017).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the tolerance of cowpea cultivars to water stress, during seed germination and seedling establishment. For this, a completely randomized experimental design was used in a factorial scheme consisting of nine cultivars of cowpea (BRS Guariba, BRS Potengi, BRS Itaim, BRS 17 Gurguéia, BRS Aracê, Paulistinha, Maratanã, Costela-de-Vaca and Canapu-Branco) and two levels of osmotic potential induced by PEG 6000 (0.0 MPa (control) and -0.4 MPa) in four replicates of 50 seeds. The variables analysed were germination, germination first count, root and shoot lengths, and dry matter accumulation of shoots and roots. The dissimilarity between the genotypes was also determined by Euclidean distance. Germination and initial development of cowpea cultivars are impaired by the reduction in the potential to -0.4 MPa. The cultivars BRS Guariba, BRS Aracê, Paulistinha and Canapu-Branco are the most tolerant to water stress, while BRS Potengi, BRS Itaim, BRS 17 Gurguéia, BRS Maratanã and Costela-de-Vaca are the most sensitive in the early development stage.
