TLDR
In this paper, the seeds of Excoecaria agallocha were germinated in 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl concentrations and the maximum percentage (100%) of seed germination was recorded in fresh water and the minimum percentage (36%) of growth was observed in 200 mM NCL concentration.
Abstract
The present work is based on the observation of seed germination in Excoecaria agallocha in different concentrations of NaCl. The seeds of Excoecaria agallocha were germinated in 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl concentrations. The germinating seedlings were observed after 15 th and 30 th day of NaCl treatment. It was observed that the germination percentage were decreased with increasing NaCl salinity. The maximum percentage (100%) of seed germination was recorded in fresh water and the minimum percentage (36%) of germination was observed in 200 mM NaCl concentration.

Seed Germination Studies On Viciafaba L. Under Salt Strees

TL;DR: The maximum germination percentage has observed at 100 ppm at 6 hr seed soaking beyond this level germination has reduced gradually, in the same way time diffraction and concentration has also reduced gradually and 6 hr duration has shownmaximum germination in both varieties.

Establishment of in vitro germination of Distichlis spicata and response to osmotic stress

TL;DR: In this article , the authors established in vitro conditions to study the factors that affect D. spicata under osmotic and salt stress and found that saltgrass had good seed germination under high salinity (ionic) stress caused by 150 and 200mM NaCl (50% and 30%, respectively).
