Strategies for adaptation of Suaeda physophora, Haloxylon ammodendron and Haloxylon persicum to a saline environment during seed-germination stage.
TL;DR: The effect of NaCl on seed germination was due to both osmotic stress and ion toxicity for the three species, and high soil salinity and a high content of Na+ in seeds may induce more seeds to remain ungerminated in S. physophora and H. persicum in certain saline regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of light, temperature, salinity and storage on seed germination of Haloxylon ammodendron
TL;DR: Haloxylon ammodendron is an important economic plant used for sand fixation, pasture and fuel and its seed viability of about 10 months can be extended by cold or ultra dry storage at seed moisture content below 5%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Germination strategies of halophyte seeds under salinity
TL;DR: Some of the factors that determine the ability of seeds of halophytes to germinate when conditions are optimal for seedling growth and survival are examined.

Seed Germination of a Halophytic Grass Aeluropus lagopoides
Salman Gulzar,M. Ajmal Khan +1 more
TL;DR: Germination rate was highest at 20/30 8C and lowest at 10/20 8C, and the rate of germination decreased as salinity increased, and an increase in NaCl concentration progressively inhibited germination.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of salinity and osmotic stress on barley germination rate:sodium as an osmotic regulator
TL;DR: This paper showed that salinity is absorbed by barley seeds, allowing them to generate additional osmotic potential, and to germinate in conditions under which they would otherwise not be able to grow.

The effect of salinity and temperature on the germination of polymorphic seeds and growth of atriplex triangularis willd.
Mohammed A. Khan,Irwin A. Ungar +1 more
TL;DR: Polymorphic seeds of Atriplex triangularis were germinated at various temperatures and salinity regimes and the rate and percentage of germination decreased with increased salinity stress, and early seedling growth in larger seeds at lower salinity and at high-day and low-night temperatures.

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.
