Species Specific

The influence of high NaCl concentrations on seed germination in both light and darkness was examined in the species Centaurium pulchellum, C. erythraea, C. littorale, C. spicatum, and C. tenuiflorum. Salt tolerance was found to depend on the life history of the seeds. To be specific, seeds of all five species failed to complete germination when exposed to continuous white light if kept all the time in the presence of 100-200 mM and greater NaCl concentrations. However, when after two weeks NaCl was rinsed from the seeds and the seeds were left in distilled water under white light for an additional two weeks, all species completed germination to a certain extent. The percent of germination not only depended on NaCl concentration in the prior medium, but was also species specific. Thus, seeds of C. pulchellum, C. erythraea, and C. littorale completed germination well almost irrespective of the salt concentration previously experienced. On the other hand, seeds of C. tenuiflorum completed germination poorly if NaCl concentrations in the prior media were greater than 200 mM. When seeds after washing were transferred to darkness for an additional 14 days, they failed to complete germination if previously imbibed on media containing NaCl concentrations greater than 400 mM. However, the seeds of all species, even if previously imbibed at 800 mM NaCl, could be induced to complete germination in darkness by 1 mM gibberellic acid. .

Germination Process

The purpose of the experiment was to highlight the germination of sunflower seeds affected by the presence of saline stress and the identification of tolerant genotypes. The biological material was represented by sunflower cvs. (Helianthus annuus L.): Coril, Select, Santiago and Fundulea-206. To simulate the saline conditions, germination solutions of sodium chloride (NaCl) were used with concentrations corresponding to the osmotic pressures -6 and -10 atm and the control seed hydration was performed with distilled water. Determination of seed germination, growth of seedling, percentage of plumules dry matter, chlorophyll content and free proline were performed. The experimental data obtained suppose the existence in the assimilation apparatus of sunflowers seedling subjected to stress a competitive chlorophyll/free proline biosynthesis processes. The experimental results regarding the effect of salinity on seed germination and seedling growth revealed important differences between genotypes. The radicle growth in the germination process were strongly affected by saline excess, with significant differences between cultivars. Saline stress results in significant reductions in the amount of chlorophyll, and high levels of free proline. It can be observed that with the increase of the stress level the percentage of the dry matter increases, indicating an accentuated water deficit.

Proportional Increase

Non-dormant, upper cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum Wallr.) seeds, incapable of germinating under ordinary conditions, can germinate when previously subjected to anaerobiosis; this has been termed the anaerobic induction of seed germination. Aerobic presoaking of the seeds was also required for successful anaerobic induction, and exerted two counter-acting effects on seed germination. When the time period of aerobic presoaking was sufficiently prolonged, the increasing duration of an anaerobic treatment resulted in proportional increase of germination potential but, when it was short, the effect of the anaerobiosis was saturated in a few days. Prolonging the aerobic presoaking period caused less response of the seed to the anaerobic induction, suggesting the development of some germination-inhibiting system during the aerobic presoaking period. This system could not develop in the absence of O2 or at low temperature. Thus, low temperature during prolonged presoaking produced a maximal response to anaerobic induction. Various germination stimulants, CO2, ethylene, gibberellic acid and benzyl adenine, did not significantly alter the effects of the presoaking.
