| Περιγραφή: | In this study, we assessed the effect of NaCl and thermoperiod on germination of halotolerant plant Suaeda mexicana, in three types of seeds: without testa, black testa and brown testa.The three thermoperiod were 0o C/20o C, 5oC/25oC and 10o C/30o C. Were evaluated seven concentrations of NaCl (200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500 and 3000 mM) and distilled water as a control under a photoperiod of 12 h light and 12 h darkness. The best results indicated that germination in the thermoperiods 5o C/25o C and 10o C/30o C are about 97% for the three types of seeds. At 0o C/20o C thermoperiod in seeds without testa 72% was obtained; coffee seed testa was 7% and 1% black. Adding NaCl reduces the cumulative germination percentage in 20 days, but there is a different response depending on the type of seed. Black testa seed did not germinate from the lowest concentration of NaCl (200 mM). The brown seed germination was the highest in the thermoperiod 10o C/30o C con 21%, decrease in 5o C/25 oC with 4% and is zero in the thermoperiod of 0o C/20o C. Finally the seed without testa is the best response to salinity, the highest germination was in 10 o C/30 o C thermoperiod with 83%, decreases in 5o C/25o C with 50% and 0o C/20o C thermoperiod 30%. These results provide the basis for Suaeda mexicana, will be considered a potentially useful species for biomass generation in irrigated saline environments. |
