TLDR
Germination of Zygophyllum simplex seeds under various salinity, proline, betaine, GA and kinetin treatments was determined, and GA completely alleviated the effect of salinity at all concentrations used.About:

Plant hormones and seed germination
TL;DR: This review article contains almost a complete set of details, which may affect seed biology during dormancy and growth, including the hormonal signaling of IAA and gibberellins and the significance of plant hormones.

Recovery of Germination from Different Osmotic Conditions by Four Halophytes from Southeastern Spain
TL;DR: The osmotic potentials of the soils where the four halophytes occur naturally were more negative than those allowing seeds to germinate after osmosis stress, which promoted an increase in the rate of recovery germination which, in Arthrocnemum macrostachyum and Sarcocornia fruticosa, doubled their rates of germination compared to distilled water controls.

Diversity of Kranz anatomy and biochemistry in C4 eudicots
TL;DR: This comprehensive survey of C(4) anatomy and biochemistry unequivocally demonstrated that atriplicoid anatomy and NADP-ME biochemistry predominate in many evolutionary lineages.

The effect of plant growth regulators, nitric oxide, nitrate, nitrite and light on the germination of dimorphic seeds of Suaeda salsa under saline conditions
TL;DR: Results showed that 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC, the immediate precursor of ethylene), nitrite, GA4 and BA improved seed germination in the presence of salt, however, nitrate, GA1, GA3 failed to alleviate salt stress.

TL;DR: Germination in light was significantly greater than in the dark at lower salinity levels and high temperature and the reverse was true at higher salinities.

Effect of salinity, temperature, and growth regulators on the germination and early seedling growth of Atriplex griffithii var. stocksii
M. Ajmal Khan,Yasmeen Rizvi +1 more
TL;DR: Early seedling growth showed responses towards salinity and temperature that were similar to the germination responses, and both GA3 and kinetin alleviated salinity-induced germination inhibition, and in most cases germination was stimulated by growth regulator treatments.
