Abstract:

 


Salinity is one of the most severe
environmental factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops. This
study was conducted to determine the effect of salt stress on seed germination
in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and
pea (Pisum sativum L.). For this
purpose, 4 different pea (Utrillo, Serge, Jof and Bolero) and 4 different
chickpea (Kanada, İnci, Azkan and Çağatay) cultivars were used. Four different
salt concentrations (50, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl) were applied to determine
and the effects on seed germination (germination percentage, germination speed,
mean daily germination, peak value and germination value) were investigated. In
the study, there was a significant decrease in germination parameters in both
species with increasing salt level. Seed germination of pea cultivars did not
occur on 150 (except Jof) and 200 mM salt stress, while chickpea cultivars
didn't germinate on 200 mM (except Çağatay) salt stress. In general, it can be
said the critical limit for germination in both species to be 100 mM. Jof cultivar
have the highest (46%) germination percentage in 100 mM. In chickpea, the
maximum germination percentage at 100 mM (63%) and 150 mM (20%) NaCl was
determined in Çağatay. Our findings support that there are differences in
tolerance to salt stress between different species or varieties of the same
species.
