Title
Effect of saline solutions and salt stress on seed germination of some tropical forest tree species
D. A. Agboola DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals) 1998
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Saline solutions of six salts had highly significant effects on seed germination in most tree species.
- Intervention effect Sodium sulphate permitted germination of Ceiba pentandra and Tectona grandis seeds presoaked for 36 and 48 h.
- Intervention effect Zinc sulphate solution enhanced germination of Terminalia ivorensis and Terminalia superba seeds.
- Intervention effect Potassium permanganate solution favoured germination of T. grandis, T. ivorensis and T. superba seeds.
- Observation Seeds of the two Terminalia species could withstand NaCl salt stress.
- Observation Seeds of T. grandis showed high comparative ability to withstand salt stress.
