e0“Increased salinity levels generally resulted in decrease in all traits except time to germination, dry seedling weight and dry matter, which increased at high salinity levels.”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Time to germination, dry seedling weight and dry matter increased at high salinity.
- Observation O. viciifolia seeds germinated and grew faster than O. armena under NaCl stress.
- Intervention effect Germination and seedling growth did not decline at salinity up to 10 dS m-1.
- Observation In vitro germination and seedling growth values were lower than in vivo values.
- Intervention effect Pollen germination fell sharply as salinity increased.
- Observation O. armena pollen germinated faster than O. viciifolia pollen.
- Recommendation The authors recommend in vivo screening for NaCl tolerance in sainfoin cultivars.
- Recommendation The authors recommend pollen germination screening for wild relatives.
