THE EFFECTS OF PRETREATMENTS OF SOME PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS ON GERMINATION AND SEEDLING GROWTH OF RADISH SEEDS UNDER SALINE CONDITIONS
Öz
The effects of gibberellic acid, kinetin, benzyladenine, ethylene, triacontanol, 24-epibrassinolide and polyamines
(cadaverine, putrescine, spermidine, spermine), alone or in combinations, on seed germination and seedling growth
(fresh weight, hypocotyl percentage, radicle and hypocotyl elongation) of radish under saline conditions were
studied. Although many of the growth regulator pretreatments alone carried out in overcoming of the negative
effect of 0.25 and 0.30 m salinity on the germination and hypocotyl pecentage or fresh weight, they were mostly
unsuccessful on the radicle and hypocotyl elongation. Moreover, the mentioned growth regulators were extremely
ineffective in alleviation of the inhibitive effect of 0.35 m salinity on these parameters. On the other hand, many of
the combination pretreatments carried out in overcoming of the negative effect of 0.35 m salinity on the
germination percentage and fresh weight, while they were mostly ineffective on the other parameters studied.
