t0“Seedling Growth of Hot Pepper Under Salinity Stress”
e2“A modified drum-priming method resulted in the shortest mean germination time (MGT) of 4.0 days, the highest germination rate (GR) of 25.2%·day−1, and a 94% healthy seedling percentage (HSP), whereas the results for the untreated control were recorded as 6.6 days, 15.2%·day−1, and 66%, respectively, under stress conditions”
