Salinity, Germination, NaClAbstract
During the germination and early seedling phases, the effects of three salinity levels—0, 100, 150, and 300 mM NaCl on Amaranthus viridis were studied. The effects of salt stress on different germination and physiological features were revealed by this laboratory pot experiment, which was planned as a fully randomised study with three replications for each salinity level. Interestingly, the greatest detrimental impacts were noticeable when seeds were exposed to 300 mM NaCl, highlighting the significant effects of excessive salinity on Amaranthus viridis germination and early growth. These results advance our knowledge of the ways salinity affects the critical early stages of Amaranthus viridis development.
