Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Salinity at 80, 160, and 240 mM NaCl reduced germination by 14, 56, and 80 percentage points, respectively.
- Intervention effect NaCl priming promoted germination from 81% to 85% at 80 mM salinity.
- Intervention effect NaCl priming promoted germination from 39% to 68% at 160 mM salinity.
- Observation NaCl priming promoted germination from 15% to 56% at 240 mM salinity.
- Intervention effect NaCl priming increased germination tolerance and seedling vigour indices.
- Association Leaf relative water content decreased with increasing salinity.
- Intervention effect NaCl priming lessened the salinity-related loss of relative water content.
- Intervention effect At 240 mM NaCl, priming improved the mean productivity index 1.26 times.
- Intervention effect At 240 mM NaCl, priming improved the harmonic mean index 1.98 times.
- Recommendation The authors recommend testing priming across relevant genotypes and saline conditions.
