In this
study the seeds were germinated at 20 ± 1 ° C in the petri dishes, which was
aimed to determine the effect of different salt doses to germination and
seedling growth in a Sorghum×Sudangrass (Sorghum
bicolor×Sorghum sudanense)
cultivar called ‘‘greengo’’.
Sixteen different salt doses (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200,
220, 240, 260, 280, 300 mM NaCl) were applied to the petri dishes. The
experiment was established in randomized plots experimental design with 10 replications.
In the study, germination rate (%), number of days of germination (days),
length of radicle and plumula (cm), fresh and dry weights (g) of radicle and
plumula were determined. Since the germination rate data were not homogeneous,
they were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and for comparison the Dunn test was
used. Other parameters showing homogeneity were analyzed in randomized plot
design and the means were compared by Tukey multiple comparison test. It was
determined that all of the parameters examined in the statistical analysis were
effected significantly by salt application. When all of the examined parameters
were evaluated together, it was concluded that the greengo cultivar which
belong to Sorghum×Sudangrass can tolerate salt application up to a dose of 220
mM NaCl (between 0-200 mM) in
terms of germination and seedling growth.
