چکیده
|
The effect of osmopriming on lettuce achene invigoration at supra optimal temperature (35ºc) was investigated in the present study. osmopriming of lettuce achene with kno3 (0.25%, 0.5% and 1%), cacl2 (15 mm, 25 mm, 50 mm) and peg 8000 (0.1 g/ml h2o, 0.2 g/ml h2o, 0.3g/ml h2o) alleviated thermodormancy and improved lettuce achene’s vigor. moreover, priming significantly improved final germination % age, energy of germination, germination index, shoot length, root length, vigor index and reduced mean germination time and time taken to50% germination, as compared to control, when seeds were subjected to supra-optimal germination environments. it can be concluded that osmopriming can act as effective tool to invigorate lettuce seeds at supra optimal temperature.
